This too-straightforward retelling of history is too mainstream, too dull, and squanders a considerable opportunity.
“Doctor Sleep”
One of the better movies of the year, and should be embraced as a modern instant classic by fans of “The Shining.”
“Last Christmas”
You’d be better off asking Santa for a lump of coal in your stocking than wasting money on this mess of a movie.
“Midway”
Nothing comes together in this fire-sale WWII flick about the famed 1942 Battle of Midway.
“Parasite”
One of the most intriguing, intelligent, and disturbing films of the year.
“Jojo Rabbit”
This could’ve been something truly special if Waititi didn’t insist on spending the majority of his time winking at the audience.
