Lisey's Story (TV Miniseries) (2021)

Publish Date: May 24, 2021
"Despite the involvement of starry names in front of and behind the camera, intriguing fantasy elements and fascinating themes, the show never achieves the resonance it seems to be reaching for"

CBR
Army of the Dead (2021)

Publish Date: May 10, 2021
"A fun piece of escapist entertainment that remains engaging throughout its two-and-a-half-hour runtime (...) Army of the Dead packs in more plotlines than the typical monster flick, and most of them are surprisingly successful"

CBR
Trigger Point (2021)

Publish Date: April 14, 2021
"Trigger Point is solidly made and contains just enough action to be diverting, but its abrupt ending makes it feel woefully incomplete."

CBR
Them: Covenant (TV Miniseries) (2021)

Publish Date: April 5, 2021
"Them emphasizes the deep psychological horror of Black trauma, creating a story in which the actions of real people are ultimately more harrowing than those of any paranormal entity."

CBR
The Nevers (TV Series) (2021)

Publish Date: April 4, 2021
"An engrossing, sometimes frustrating riff on the 'X-Men' (...) [It] tells a sprawling, often promising story, but it also introduces too many mysteries and provides too few answers."

CBR
The Gloaming (TV Series) (2020)

Publish Date: March 20, 2021
"There's no shortage of police procedurals to choose from on TV, but The Gloaming's supernatural intrigue makes it a unique and mostly rewarding option."

CBR
SAS: Red Notice (2021)

Publish Date: March 11, 2021
"The plot of 'SAS: Red Notice' is a variation of 'Die Hard', but it has enough whiz-bang action to keep things exciting."

CBR
Tell Me Your Secrets (TV Series) (2021)

Publish Date: February 18, 2021
"A jumble of contrived mysteries and bizarre revelations

CBR
Barb and Star Go to Vista del Mar (2021)

Publish Date: February 11, 2021
"While their new film is unlikely to garner the same amount of love and acclaim as their first, it’s still an enjoyably goofy comedy that once again centers on the theme of female friendship."

CBR
The Snoopy Show (TV Series) (2021)

Publish Date: February 4, 2021
"A nostalgic, heartwarming delight (...) The Snoopy Show is a reminder of how nice it can be to spend time with a sincerely entertaining story."

CBR
Dara of Jasenovac (2020)

Publish Date: February 3, 2021
"The simplistic characterizations of the film’s heroes and villains makes the story feel one dimensional."

CBR
Brothers By Blood (2020)

Publish Date: January 20, 2021
"[It] is too oppressively hopeless and oddly listless to touch the heart."

CBR
The Delivered (2019)

Publish Date: January 14, 2021
"A baffling movie experience. I appreciated the strong performances and design elements, but they don’t make up for the slow story, the pedantic arguments about religion or the movie's insistence that the terrible events of the film liberated Fanny."

CBR
Dr. Bird's Advice for Sad Poets (2020)

Publish Date: January 4, 2021
"[It] takes on the serious issue of mental illness with quirky insight, cinematic flourish and gentle humor (...) it maintains a delicate humanity that makes it easy to sympathize with its characters"
