The Phoenician Scheme

1 week ago | thefilmverdict.com | Alonso Duralde

Still, that collapsing object of beauty sticks in the mind, since The Phoenician Scheme sees Anderson indulging in all of his usual design fetishes (we don’t just get precisely-lettered labels on ornate boxes, we also get the yellowing cellophane tape affixed to those labels) without seeming to get around to a story or characters or themes.
Karate Kid: Legends

1 week ago | thefilmverdict.com | Alonso Duralde

VERDICT: This reboot-remake-sequel never strays far from what’s expected but succeeds thanks to cornball charm and some stirring fight sequences.
The Disappearance of Josef Mengele

2 weeks ago | thefilmverdict.com | Stephen Dalton

VERDICT: Kirill Serebrennikov's muscular biopic 'The Disappearance of Josef Mengele' about the elusive Nazi fugitive is a real-life horror story, sprawling at times but powered by strong performances and great visual swagger.
Lilo & Stitch - The Film Verdict

2 weeks ago | thefilmverdict.com | Alonso Duralde

VERDICT: This pleasant-enough remake of the animated film never quite justifies why that animated film needed to be remade in the first place.
A Useful Ghost - The Film Verdict

2 weeks ago | thefilmverdict.com | Kevin Jagernauth

In the middle of the Venn diagram of Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Quentin Dupieux, and Charlie Kaufman, you might find Ratchapoom Boonbunchachoke and his debut feature film A Useful Ghost. Marvellously inventive, what begins as an unlikely ghost story and tragic romance, evolves into an affecting look at what haunts Thailand’s national memories, and the dreams of the future that can never fully shake the past.
Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning

3 weeks ago | thefilmverdict.com | Alonso Duralde

Nearly 30 years after that first Mission: Impossible movie (directed, lest we forget, by Brian De Palma), we arrive at the eighth and perhaps — if the title is telling the truth — last chapter of the saga, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning.
Final Destination: Bloodlines

3 weeks ago | thefilmverdict.com | Alonso Duralde

And there’s plenty of good stuff in Final Destination: Bloodlines, a sequel that appears crafted to be the final entry in this gory franchise. With its outlandish, ambient-yet-meticulously-orchestrated homicide DNA popping up in this spring’s The Monkey, it’s probably a good time to bring this series to a close. At the same time, Bloodlines reminds us of why these hilarious horrors have been such crowd-pleasers, and why their creators might never call it quits.
Juliet & Romeo - The Film Verdict

1 month ago | thefilmverdict.com | Alonso Duralde

Even the film’s let’s-call-it-creative take on the tragic ending is nothing new, having already been tried by the regrettable 2005 animated kiddie feature Romeo & Juliet: Sealed with a Kiss. The one where the protagonists are cartoon seals. When Juliet & Romeo isn’t assaulting us with dreadful ditties by Evan Kidd Bogart and Justin Gray — on a positive note, the tunes are as immediately forgettable as they are awful — it’s punishing our eyes with garish color and off-putting visuals.
Thunderbolts* - The Film Verdict

1 month ago | thefilmverdict.com | Alonso Duralde

VERDICT: Entertaining Marvel team-up tale proves you can make a banquet out of odds and ends that were stuck in the back of the fridge.
Snow White - The Film Verdict

VERDICT: Disney’s umpteenth live-action remake of an animated classic turns out to be another bad apple.
