X
West sets out to make a bloody, heart pounding horror movie with X, and, for the most part, succeeds beautifully.
Deep Water
Watching Deep Water is equivalent to driving past a bad car accident. You don't want to look but you simply can’t turn away.
Dream a Little Dream
If Dream a Little Dream's plot sounds like Vice Versa or Freaky Friday, it's because it is - with some slight variations.
An American Werewolf in London
I don't think anyone could argue that Landis is an excellent filmmaker, and An American Werewolf in London is a prime example of his talent.
The Sword and the Sorcerer
The Sword and the Sorcerer starts off simple enough and, with the exceptions of the supernatural elements, could be a very plausible story.
The Adam Project
On the surface, The Adam Project is simply a sci-fi thriller with a strong cast, but underneath the top layer, there are other messages about grief, deception, and bullying.
Turning Red
Chiang gives Mei a cheery attitude that jumps out of the speakers and draws the viewer in.
Matrix Resurrections
Reuniting members of the original cast … proved to create a good balance with a talented group of thespians.
