Bernard Boo's Movie Reviews
All movie reviews written by Bernard Boo
-
Triple 9
Blistering urban action and a game, A-list cast are weighed down by a dizzying, intrusive plot.
-
Touched With Fire
A cute but redundantly lyrical sanitarium romance.
-
The Witch
Almost sexual in its slow build to climax, Eggers' period piece carefully illuminates the horrors of domestic mistrust and misogyny.
-
Embrace of the Serpent
A visually sumptuous, frightening meditation on colonialism's violent stamping-out of indigenous culture.
-
Zoolander 2
Derek returns to the runway, trips and falls flat on his face...and no one's laughing.
-
Deadpool
Ryan Reynolds slays in this blood-drenched, gabby superhero send-up.
-
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
A lit-horror mash-up that mostly works but slows considerably in its second half.
-
Hail, Caesar!
The Coens impress again with this hilarious love letter to Old Hollywood.
-
The Finest Hours
This uninspired, effects-driven dramatization is ice cold.
-
The Revenant
Artsy ambition sullies this bloody frontier tale of man vs. man.
