Sound of Metal (2019) 97% EDIT “Ahmed pours himself into his role as a drummer rapidly losing his hearing and turns a pretty good movie into something close to great with a punishing performance...” – The Ringer Apr 19, 2021 Full Review Bill & Ted Face the Music (2020) 83% EDIT “The duo is back-and much older-but they're just as whimsical and lovable as we left them...” – The Ringer Aug 31, 2020 Full Review The Tax Collector (2020) 17% EDIT “The Tax Collector is the flick Redbox forces you to rent if you rack up too many late fees; it's the joyless turkey a fallen matinee idol makes when there are literally no other options...” – The Ringer Aug 11, 2020 Full Review Beastie Boys Story (2020) 95% EDIT “Beastie Boys Story is hopefully the last act in a pleasurable but awfully indulgent burst of multimedia brand management.” – The Ringer Apr 29, 2020 Full Review Trolls World Tour (2020) 72% EDIT “A movie only a bored child could love...” – The Ringer Apr 18, 2020 Full Review The Invisible Man (2020) 92% EDIT “The pleasant revelation of The Invisible Man is how well it works on a scene-to-scene, scare-to-scare basis; what's a bit disappointing is how minor its resonance beyond the frame feels.” – The Ringer Feb 29, 2020 Full Review Pete Davidson: Alive From New York (2020) 40% EDIT “The cycle begins anew. Alive From New York is designed to trigger a modest but manageable backlash. Whatever happens from here-good, bad, or ugly-you can bet Davidson will at least get some material out of it.” – The Ringer Feb 29, 2020 Full Review Taylor Swift: Miss Americana (2020) 91% EDIT “And at its most affecting, Miss Americana proves, above all, that Swift can relate.” – The Ringer Feb 1, 2020 Full Review Dolittle (2020) 15% EDIT “Dolittle is not very good and certainly not subversive in the slightest, but it'd be far, far worse if it were. No doubt that the Artist Formerly Known as Iron Man is concocting baffling and controversial schemes to unleash in the years to come...” – The Ringer Jan 16, 2020 Full Review Dolemite Is My Name (2019) 97% EDIT “[Murphy] is still the guy everyone loves, and still the guy who makes everyone just a little bit nervous, at least. You'd love him less if he weren't.” – The Ringer Oct 25, 2019 Full Review The Laundromat (2019) 42% EDIT “Throughout, Banderas and Oldman pop up in ever-louder tuxedos to further boast about their deviousness, chewing so much scenery that eventually the very soundstage they're standing on is nearly bare.” – The Ringer Oct 21, 2019 Full Review Joker (2019) 68% EDIT “Joker turns nihilism into an Olympic sport, and given that aspiration, if that's even the right word, there was only one song worthy of the soundtrack.” – The Ringer Oct 10, 2019 Full Review Blinded by the Light (2019) 89% EDIT “...this movie is entirely devoted to capturing what makes Springsteen so beloved and enduring, and willing to risk looking uncool to get there. It's not trying to convert you, but it does a fine job of depicting the unembarrassed fervor of the converted.” – The Ringer Aug 19, 2019 Full Review Good Boys (2019) 81% EDIT “It has the distinct, lazy "80 percent of an actual movie" vibe you get from most Netflix originals...you've seen this movie before, worse versions, maybe, but better versions, definitely.” – The Ringer Aug 16, 2019 Full Review The Lion King (2019) 52% EDIT “The remake's ceiling is Good Enough. Favreau hits that ceiling often enough, sure. But even in those moments, don't expect to be thrilled-only soothed. It is, indeed, a problem-free philosophy.” – The Ringer Jul 19, 2019 Full Review Jonas Brothers: Chasing Happiness (2019) 75% EDIT “Chasing Happiness has a familiar and pleasing rise-and-fall-and-rise arc from ungodly success to grim disillusionment to triumphant rebirth.” – The Ringer Jul 8, 2019 Full Review Toy Story 4 (2019) 96% EDIT “Toy Story 4 functions as a reverent send-off for both Woody and Hanks, with a denouement every bit as stingingly sweet as Endgame's...” – The Ringer Jun 21, 2019 Full Review Homecoming: A Film by Beyoncé (2019) 98% EDIT “Homecoming is a full-blown and painstakingly lush concert film dropping quick bursts of backstage footage amid the glamor and grandiosity of the instantly beloved show itself.” – The Ringer Apr 18, 2019 Full Review Guava Island (2019) 74% EDIT “Guava Island is a breezy fable with insurgent aspirations that are better off not being fully realized; likewise, for the discerning Amazon Prime subscriber, it gives you what you want, which is to be left wanting more.” – The Ringer Apr 15, 2019 Full Review Unicorn Store (2017) 66% EDIT “Larson has a winsome quirky-comedy energy, but can't yet tell a joke either on camera or behind it; she has big ideas and societal aspirations that will quadruple in impact once her movies no longer insist on spelling them out in giant bubble letters.” – The Ringer Apr 9, 2019 Full Review Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998) 75% EDIT “Guy Ritchie's scrappy, twisty, cheerfully ultraviolent tale of hapless small-time English hoodlums might be his best work.” – The Ringer Mar 26, 2019 Full Review Being John Malkovich (1999) 94% EDIT “Accept that even Jonze and Kaufman will most likely never provide a worthy substitute to Being John Malkovich themselves. It's awfully hard, even 20 years later, to find a movie even half as bizarre that was also even half as successful.” – The Ringer Mar 25, 2019 Full Review The Dirt (2019) 37% EDIT “Anyone watching this film for actual Musical Content is bound to be disappointed...” – The Ringer Mar 22, 2019 Full Review Scrooged (1988) 71% EDIT “Scrooged is, indeed, phenomenally loud, and also very mean, and somehow also ultimately heartening, in a loopy yuletide sort of way.” – The Ringer Nov 27, 2018 Full Review Ralph Breaks the Internet (2018) 88% EDIT “Ralph Breaks the Internet is a B+ kids movie and an A+ parental nightmare.” – The Ringer Nov 26, 2018 Full Review
