Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard (2021)

Publish Date: June 8, 2021
"This film, even more than its surprisingly successful predecessor, is exhausting and obnoxious. A few good lines don’t save a slapdash, snarky mess."

SlashFilm
Launchpad (TV Series) (2021)

Publish Date: May 27, 2021
"If you want to watch stories that are truly different and unexpected – and hey, what a bonus, original – you need to make time for these shorts."

SlashFilm
Tom and Jerry (2021)

Publish Date: February 25, 2021
Tom & Jerry struggles for two pretty unavoidable reasons: the two leads are uninteresting, and the interaction between live actors and animated characters is never once remotely believable"

SlashFilm
Safety (2020)

Publish Date: December 8, 2020
"The cast of 'Safety' is as convincing as possible. Disney knows how to make blandly effective sports dramas. But some stories are less inspiring than they seem."

SlashFilm
Godmothered (2020)

Publish Date: December 1, 2020
"Godmothered tries to be modern, but only at the end, and only after serving as a reminder that you could be watching a much better version of the same kind of story."

SlashFilm
The Croods: A New Age (2020)

Publish Date: November 22, 2020
"[It] will satisfy the basic need to see something new. But only truly extraordinary cinema is appropriate to champion at the moment. And this ain’t it."

SlashFilm
Clouds (2020)

Publish Date: October 12, 2020
"'Clouds' is nice and well-meaning, but also very much like its title, wispy and transparent and easy to look past."

SlashFilm
Greyhound (2020)

Publish Date: July 5, 2020
"Hanks has indeed crafted an extraordinarily swift and tight screenplay, yet he’s also chosen to strip almost every possible bit of characterization from everyone on screen"

SlashFilm
Onward (2020)

Publish Date: February 20, 2020
"[It] is…OK. The problem with Onward is that Pixar’s original films are incredible. OK is, simply, just not good enough."

SlashFilm
A Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon (2019)

Publish Date: February 10, 2020
"This sequel is cute and fun (...) But where 'Shaun the Sheep Movie' felt comedically risky and goofy and brilliant, 'Farmageddon' is a bit dated on arrival"

SlashFilm
Jumanji: The Next Level (2019)

Publish Date: December 9, 2019
"Often fun, but a big step down from the first one"

SlashFilm
Togo (2019)

Publish Date: December 3, 2019
"A perfectly decent if unremarkable real-life drama all about man and his best friend (...) It’s a decent enough way to spend two hours, but only just."

SlashFilm
Lady and the Tramp (2019)

Publish Date: November 3, 2019
"'Lady and the Tramp ‘19' has the unique and not entirely exciting honor of being the best Disney remake of the year, meaning simply that it is the least awful of those films"

SlashFilm
Dora and the Lost City of Gold (2019)

Publish Date: August 4, 2019
"A perfectly pleasant if unremarkable family adventure (...) It’s a surprisingly funny blend of fish-out-of-water comedy and adventure, even if the familiarity is hard to ignore."

SlashFilm
Ma (2019)

Publish Date: May 28, 2019
"The cast is willing and able, and there’s nothing wrong with a scary movie that doesn’t want to bombard you with shocks from the start. But 'Ma' isn’t ever able to fully develop its characters, leaving them all a bit stranded."
