Movie reviews of Christie Robb

As in Les Mis, Hooper has his cast sing live, and it is Hudson’s performance of the signature song Memory that far outshines every other musical number here. It’s likely what you’ll be humming as you walk out of the theatre, and the one thing you’ll most remember about these Cats. Review

An impressive film, I anticipate great things to come from Attanasio, Morrone and Dale. Review

In the end, Nekrotronic delivers a little bit of everything, but it not enough of the right things. Review

This is definitely a film made for fans of the show, as a newbie would probably be completely lost even with the recap. But for those who spent 2011-2016 devouring the show like a warm scone fresh out of the oven, the movie is a delightfully unnecessary, but very welcome, treat. Review

The film is praiseworthy in the way it covers a civilian taking a moral stand against a corrupt state. Review

With such a breadth of information to cover, the film would have benefited from a bit less artifice and a bit more contextual information. Still, it’ll stay with you, prompting some serious thinking about the intersections of political and corporate interests and what people will do to maintain power. Review

The premise was interesting, centered around a teenage Leonardo Da Vinci who brings mechanical contraptions into being in 15th century Italy. But as we passed the 10 minute mark with no inciting incident, I realized we were in trouble. Review

Weird, occasionally wandering, Leto, provided a glimpse into the experience of artists living in a gritty, austere world that I’ve not thought much about before, but probably will now. Review

You just wish that there was more of a story there, more character development, more cheerleading even. The cast is way too good for this. Review

As it is, the movie tries to be too many things and ends up being an ok entry rather than a good one. Review

This charming bit of nostalgia makes for an excellent holiday movie that celebrates the joys of childhood, imagination and family. Review

If you don’t know a lot about Callas, do your research beforehand and come for the music and her arresting performances. Review

A pretty movie with some great voice acting that’s got enough detail in the background to make you smile. But it’s the kind of amusement you’ll probably forget about soon enough, like planking, Keyboard Cat, or Doge memes. Review

Oscar-bait good. Review

Visually stunning, but emotionally monotonous... Review

Satirical and quietly devastating, I Am Not a Witch is a fairy tale rooted in the dust. Review

It’s nice for a bit, but maybe not quite as good as in the old days. Review
