Film Critic

United States

Pet Sematary (2019)

Publish Date: March 16, 2019
"[It] that succeeds in some areas where the 1989 version failed while ultimately failing to deliver an ending that resonates as deeply as its source material."

IndieWire
Booksmart (2019)

Publish Date: March 11, 2019
"Smart, funny and wild at heart (...) A charming successor to recent films like 'Blockers' and 'Lady Bird'"

Austin Chronicle
Overlord (2018)

Publish Date: September 23, 2018
"[It] fails to deliver on nearly every level (...) As a piece of moral commentary cloaked in a sci-fi gimmick, 'Overlord' is uninspired. As an action thriller, it’s just aggressively boring."

Screen Crush
Apostle (2018)

Publish Date: September 22, 2018
"A solid mystery-thriller (...) [It] feels almost too conventional for the man who gave us 'The Raid' (...) But it’s just basic enough for something like Netflix. Maybe that’s the point. (...) Rating: *** (out of 5)"

Screen Crush
Ready Player One (2018)

Publish Date: March 12, 2018
"It’s disheartening that the finished product is little more than the cinematic equivalent of a pop culture mashup tee (...) [It] takes cherished icons of film and coats them in garish CGI."

Screen Crush
Blockers (2018)

Publish Date: March 12, 2018
"A funny, smart, and totally heartfelt comedy that is impressively conceived from top to bottom (...) [It] finally gives young women the teen sex comedy they deserve (...) Rating: **** (out of 5)"

Screen Crush
A Quiet Place (2018)

Publish Date: March 10, 2018
"What begins as a smart, effective throwback to simple post-apocalyptic survival stories evolves into a knuckle-biting, chest-tightening thriller (...) Rating: **** (out of 5)"

Screen Crush
Wheelman (2017)

Publish Date: September 25, 2017
"As a visual exercise, 'Wheelman' is interesting (...) [It] offers a unique, rarely-seen perspective, but it’s ultimately wasted on a film that fails to deliver any actual excitement"

Screen Crush
Porto (2016)

Publish Date: March 15, 2017
"While Yelchin is predictably good with what he’s been given, Jake is one-dimensional (...) 'Porto' reads like a short student film pointlessly extended to feature length."

Screen Crush
Return to Oz (1985)

Publish Date: August 29, 2014
"There's nothing grandiose or extravagant in Dorothy's second coming; when you peek behind the curtain this time, all you'll find is a scared little girl. No wonder so many people wanted to forget it"
