Review of Jumanji: The Next Level (2019)

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 10 Dec 2019

Too often, The Next Level passes off callbacks to gags from its predecessor as jokes, all while presuming that viewers have an unhealthy…

Review of Richard Jewell (2019)

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 04 Dec 2019

Like so many of the works of Eastwood’s long late period, Jewell offers a story without much of an endpoint, with an uplifting coda that…

Review of Queen & Slim (2019)

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 25 Nov 2019

Maybe it’s inevitable that the film ends up feeling like an extremely diluted combination of Matsoukas’ two most famous music videos,…

Review of The Hottest August (2019)

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 12 Nov 2019

While it never feels completely defeatist, her film offers scattered snapshots of an uncertain society in its dog days…

Review of Midway (2019)

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 06 Nov 2019

A stolid film that largely rests on its director’s competence at helming extravagant aerial views of pyrotechnic destruction…

Review of Redoubt (2019)

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 30 Oct 2019

It seems as though the artist, all too aware of his reputation for both pageantry and shock value, has decided to offer nothing of the kind…

Review of Black and Blue (2019)

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 24 Oct 2019

A generically competent but unsuspenseful chase film that never lives up to its potential for either social commentary or thrills…

Review of Synonyms (2019)

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 22 Oct 2019

Review of Jay and Silent Bob Reboot (2019)

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 16 Oct 2019

Awkward and unfunny in exceptionally long stretches, Reboot probably won’t turn his diehard fans against him…

Review of Gemini Man (2019)

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 09 Oct 2019

One can smirk at the movie’s fuzzy philosophies and primordial clichés and still appreciate the delivery of Lee’s action scenes…

Review of Mister America (2019)

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 09 Oct 2019

Running only a little shorter than the average season of On Cinema At The Cinema, it’s never as cringe-inducingly funny or inventive as…

Review of Memory: The Origins of Alien (2019)

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 01 Oct 2019

The result often feels superficial; it is neither a definitive account of the creation of Scott’s touchstone of horror and sci-fi, nor a…

Review of The Death of Dick Long (2019)

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 25 Sep 2019

Billy Chew’s screenplay takes at least one important lesson from the best of both crime movies and small-town portraits: The characters,…

Review of Rambo: Last Blood (2019)

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 20 Sep 2019

The sequence is Last Blood’s pièce de résistance, and perhaps the only compelling reason the movie has to exist…

Review of Super Size Me 2: Holy Chicken! (2019)

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 03 Sep 2019

Spurlock’s documentary turns out to be the exact thing it is meant to expose: an unfulfilling product passed off as something that’s good for you…

Review of Don't Let Go (2019)

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 28 Aug 2019

What keeps Don’t Let Go watchable is, ironically, its predictability: the cop-movie clichés, the shootouts, the mishandled evidence, the…

Review of Angel Has Fallen (2019)

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 21 Aug 2019

Given the awfulness of its predecessor, which was this publication’s pick for the worst film of 2016, a sequel that’s merely pedestrian…

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 14 Aug 2019

Review of Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw (2019)

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 31 Jul 2019

Review of Point Blank (2019)

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 12 Jul 2019
