Sand Castle (2017)

Publish Date: April 19, 2017
"An engaging, gripping fact-based drama"

Philadelphia Inquirer
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016)

Publish Date: December 12, 2016
"A tepid if fairly competent prequel (...) But It tries so hard to be an epic masterpiece - with self-important speeches and an insanely outsize orchestral score - that it ends up a laughable parody of itself (...) Rating: ** (out of four)"

Philadelphia Inquirer
Masterminds (2016)

Publish Date: September 29, 2016
"'Masterminds' is filled with the sort of idiotic bathroom humor that has become standard in big-screen comedies, but it is enlivened by the surreal slapstick touches that made Napoleon Dynamite so good (...) Rating: **1/2 (out of four)"

Philadelphia Inquirer
The 9th Life of Louis Drax (2016)

Publish Date: September 1, 2016
"With its clever structure and pacing, its range of emotional notes, and its remarkable use of magic realism, The 9th Life of Louis Drax makes for an absorbing and memorable mystery"

Philadelphia Inquirer
Ice Age: Collision Course (2016)

Publish Date: July 21, 2016
"The best I can say of 'Ice Age: Collision Course' is that it has nice coloring and good picture contrast (...) Rating: *1/2 (out of four)"

Philadelphia Inquirer
The Idol (2015)

Publish Date: May 26, 2016
"Fans of Abu-Assad's earlier films may be puzzled by his subject matter, but they needn't worry that he has gone soft."

Philadelphia Inquirer
A War (2015)

Publish Date: April 18, 2016
"Lindholm's mastery of film form is matched by his willingness to engage with some of the most intractable moral quandaries that haunt contemporary life"

Philadelphia Inquirer
The Boy and the Beast (2015)

Publish Date: March 3, 2016
"A brilliant, funny morality tale that examines the transformative effects of martial-arts training."

Philadelphia Inquirer
Kung Fu Panda 3 (2016)

Publish Date: January 28, 2016
"It's easy to mistake the simplicity of plot and theme here for simple-mindedness (...) 'Kung Fu Panda 3' has the economy of a Zen koan, not to mention its inner harmony and wisdom (...) Rating: ***1/2 (out of four)"

Philadelphia Inquirer
Ride Along 2 (2016)

Publish Date: January 14, 2016
"Ride Along 2 - propelled by an unintelligent, predictable story line and enough gunplay and explosions to eradicate a small nation - is good for a few belly laughs. But not much more"

Philadelphia Inquirer
Shadowhunters: The Mortal Instruments (TV Series) (2016)

Publish Date: January 11, 2016
"A dull YA fantasy adventure that takes itself so excruciatingly seriously it invites mockery."

Philadelphia Inquirer
Second Chance (TV Series) (2016)

Publish Date: January 11, 2016
"'Second Chance' is preposterous, silly, and forgettable. But it never takes itself too seriously and it flows along at a good pace. Take it or leave it."

Philadelphia Inquirer
American Crime 2 (TV Series) (2016)

Publish Date: January 4, 2016
"'American Crime' returns with an equally powerful, compelling, and intelligent story."

Philadelphia Inquirer
#Horror (2015)

Publish Date: December 26, 2015
"Despite its many drawbacks, Subkoff's film deserves to be seen, if only for its wildly imaginative use of the medium and for the urgency of its message"

Philadelphia Inquirer
Childhood's End (TV Miniseries) (2015)

Publish Date: December 12, 2015
"The disturbing alien plot unfurls through a wondrous, hours-long act of dramatic magic that draws together elements from ancient religions and modern science."

Philadelphia Inquirer
South of Hell (TV Series) (2015)

Publish Date: November 24, 2015
"Good for scares, but lacks substance."

Philadelphia Inquirer
Spotless (TV Series) (2015)

Publish Date: November 11, 2015
"'Spotless' is great fun. Intelligent, well-written, and beautifully photographed, it has a remarkably sharp satirical edge."

Philadelphia Inquirer
W/ Bob and David (TV Series) (2015)

Publish Date: November 9, 2015
"You're not likely to find better sketch comedy on TV. It's a shame there are only four episodes."

Philadelphia Inquirer
The Last Kingdom (TV Series) (2015)

Publish Date: October 26, 2015
"Isn't in the same league as that other medievalesque literary adaptation Game of Thrones, nor does it have the epic scope of Vikings. But its breathtaking photography, glorious fight scenes, and fantastical story make it a worthwhile treat for genre fans."

Philadelphia Inquirer
Code Black (TV Series) (2015)

Publish Date: September 28, 2015
"The derivative 'Code Black' takes elements from every medical drama before it, puts those aspects into a blender, and throws the results at the audience at high speed."
