AVENGERS: ENDGAME

April 26, 2019 By Leave a Comment

AVENGERS: ENDGAME

The stakes have been raised so many times with event flicks that, when approaching one, hope is always tempered with experience about what to expect, to paraphrase Samuel Johnson. With AVENGERS: ENDGAME, though, hope wins out. The spectacle is everything it should be, and the story, of necessity a meandering thing, is nonetheless sustained by… Read More »

THE HOUSE

THE HOUSE

If anyone could have saved THE HOUSE, it would have been Amy Poehler and Will Ferrell. Theirs is a deliciously insouciant sense of comedy delivered with deadpan sincerity that can make the most of anything tossed their way. And so it is with THE HOUSE, a raggedly written story with a creaky plot that no… Read More »

It’s during what started out as a routine mission to gather up bomb-making… Read More »

HANSEL & GRETEL — WITCH HUNTERS

October 21, 2014 By Leave a Comment

HANSEL AND GRETEL: WITCH HUNTERS is a stumblebum exercise that explores many tones, skipping over the good as well as the bad, with an uneven script and curiously inert direction. This is a shame, because the irreverent re-telling of the Grimm’s fairy tale had so much potential, glimpses of which still peek through, much to… Read More »
