Movie reviews of The Massie Twins

Here, the thrills can never really be described as larger-than-life characters engaging in heroic undertakings; this world is dark, gritty, brutal, and unforgiving – yet uncommonly absorbing. Review

By the end, it doesn’t feel like a complete film, but it’s nonetheless effective, thought-provoking, and sweet. Review

The camaraderie, humor, and bittersweetness of the finale can’t overcome the strangeness of Lee’s fate, which doesn’t feel like fitting justice. Review

As insightful as it is colorful, and as cinematically entertaining as it is provocative. Review

It may not be a nail-biter, but the subject matter is educational, captivating, and entertaining. Review

This lack of verve carries over to the musical numbers as well, which can’t manage to replicate the catchiness of those written for the original. Review

One meaningless battle after another assaults the senses, until even the action sequences appear dull. And with such one-note characters, none of the adventure, destruction, romance, or peril have any impact. Review

The two leads are quite impressive, managing to overcome the limitations of their largely stock roles to create a warmth and an energy not often found in such softball approaches to periods of historical despair. Review

The love story itself is the highlight, boasting a rawness and realism, smartly designed amid the alternating fantasy and horror of a carefree past and a forbidding future. Review

The boisterous, tumbling waters certainly make for a unique backdrop to the drama, additionally providing a nemesis for the climax, which again returns to the macabre subjects of classic film noir. Review

Bursting with deviant creativity, Mutant Aliens transitions into quite the adventure film, full of shootouts and high-speed chases, though it remains less focused – and, ultimately, less amusing – than Plympton’s previous efforts. Review

Although the animal has been switched from a seafaring man-eater to a land-based monstrosity, Grizzly doesn’t craft much of an identity beyond Jaws in the woods. Review

It’s as if Cuaron aims to convey that any random period in an individual’s life can be either usual or unusual, but undoubtedly not the heavily embellished fiction most often witnessed in customary moviemaking. This, of course, infrequently translates into entertainment. Review

More of a remake than a continuation, this follow-up provides moderate amusement but ultimately only for audiences itching for continued massacres from the vengeful, cursed specter. Review

Lanthimos once again opts to inject bizarreness for the sake of bizarreness, at a great detriment to both artistry and entertainment value. Review

The space-bound, sci-fi/horror subgenre is rare enough that Event Horizon is still a welcome inclusion. Review

Alternating with the mild adventure are moments of brief body horror, a hint of humor, glimpses of nudity, and even intermittent flirting. Review

Isn’t a complete adventure as much as it is a small, confined exercise in horror and suspense. It’s also worth mentioning that the acting is exceptional... Review

Everything about Creed II happens like clockwork; there’s not a single moment that isn’t entirely anticipated. Review

As the film progresses, the frights become more carefully crafted and the story smarter; brief bits of gore and dead bodies still pop up, but Below is more interested in building a creepy atmosphere and a sensational sense of dread. Review

Proves to be a powerful, sobering, haunting epic of human frailty and cruelty – a staggering, unequaled masterpiece of such intrinsic traits. Review

The creativity is admirable, even if the end result is more of a joke than it should have been. Review

A competent, consistent horror anthology. Review

By the end of it all, despite a few major revelations, this middle, middle chapter reveals itself to be little more than a collection of hunts. Review
