'John Wick 3' Movie Review (C) John Wick 3 profile US release date: May 17, 2019 MPAA: R Box Office: $170,179,000 | Scott Sycamore | May 20, 2019 |
It starts out sweet and inventive, but the deeper it goes, the more rancid and missionary it ends up being. | ||
'Focus' Movie Review (B-) | Scott Sycamore | February 28, 2015 |
'Jupiter Ascending' Movie Review (D+) | Scott Sycamore | February 9, 2015 |
This flick fails in such a way that you cannot believe what you are looking at. | ||
'Whiplash' Movie Review (B+) | Scott Sycamore | October 26, 2014 |
Finally someone in the cinematic universe shows up with some quality material. | ||
'Guardians...Galaxy' Movie Review (B+) | Scott Sycamore | August 7, 2014 |
Now here's a real whiz-banger, kids: a comical-book movie that's actually FUN! | ||
'Dawn...Apes' Movie Review (C+) | Scott Sycamore | July 17, 2014 |
As Caesar and the apes of this movie know, sometimes when you change the game, you end up destroying it. | ||
'Edge of Tomorrow' Movie Review (C+) | Scott Sycamore | June 7, 2014 |
'Days of Future Past' Movie Review (B-) | Scott Sycamore | May 25, 2014 |
The set pieces have been scaled up from previous films, and move the overall action along nicely. | ||
'Amazing Spider-Man 2' Movie Review (C+) | Scott Sycamore | May 21, 2014 |
The main problems with this film boil down to: a lack of extended quality action set pieces, as well as very murky character motivations. | ||
'Godzilla (2014)' Movie Review (C) | Scott Sycamore | May 16, 2014 |
'Red State' Movie Review (B-) | Scott Sycamore | August 27, 2011 |
For a hardcore cult film, Kevin Smith did impressively well with the subject. | ||
'Machete' Movie Review (B-) | Scott Sycamore | September 7, 2010 |
It's almost as if Rodriguez doesn't quite trust himself to pull certain things off, and purposely injects badness as some form of self-sabotage. | ||
'Transsiberian' Movie Review (B-) | Scott Sycamore | July 28, 2008 |
This is a fun little indie thriller. Director Brad Anderson didn't wow me, but he added another decent one to his film canon. | ||
'Indiana Jones 4' Movie Review (B) | Scott Sycamore | May 23, 2008 |
It's damn silly and averagely-scripted, but still it's fun! I think this might be the best climactic artifact scene in any Indy movie. The scope and fury of it is bombastic. | ||
'Run, Fat Boy, Run' Movie Review (C+) | Scott Sycamore | March 27, 2008 |
Instead of taking an adventurous and entertaining route, it sticks to formula that an infant wouldn't drink out of its bottle. | ||
'88 Minutes' Movie Review (C+) | Scott Sycamore | March 24, 2008 |
If you eat up crime-type stories, you might find it a halfway-okay way to pass the time. | ||
'American Gangster' Movie Review (C+) | Scott Sycamore | November 1, 2007 |
'Death Proof' Movie Review (B) | Scott Sycamore | June 30, 2007 |
A man who knows how to juxtapose and effortlessly mix genres all in a single moment stands tall in my book. | ||
'Spider-Man 3' Movie Review (C+) | Scott Sycamore | May 5, 2007 |
There's no question about it: this is a flawed-as-hell movie. When something gets this over-stuffed and over-budgeted, it almost can't help but suffer from the mass-appeal Hollywood stench. | ||
'V for Vendetta' Movie Review (B) | Scott Sycamore | March 19, 2006 |
We have a true cinematic Vendetta...The film has myriad flaws of course, but they are not egregious enough to capsize a full sense of enjoyment. Chow down for England. | ||
'Syriana' Movie Review (C+) | Scott Sycamore | November 25, 2005 |
Syriana plays as a very static and talky "thriller" that never really succeeds as a piece of entertainment. | ||
'Get Rich or Die Tryin'' Movie Review (C+) | Scott Sycamore | November 15, 2005 |
He flashes his big smile and can seem almost sweet at times, but we know that his moral compass doesn't exactly point in the right direction. And this might be the main problem: he's just too violent to really gain sympathy. | ||
'Zathura' Movie Review (C-) | Scott Sycamore | November 9, 2005 |
I would expect that anybody without a very childish sensibility will be quite disappointed by this offering. | ||
'Saw 2' Movie Review (C+) | Scott Sycamore | October 28, 2005 |
It's all mind-numbing savagery without real nuance or subtlety. | ||
'Walk the Line' Movie Review (C) | Scott Sycamore | October 15, 2005 |
If you're going to film the tale of a remarkable life, make sure it's a remarkable movie. Walk the Line is not. | ||
Most Popular Article 'Serenity' Movie Review (D+) Serenity profile US release date: September 30, 2005 MPAA: PG-13 Box Office: $25,335,935 | Scott Sycamore | October 3, 2005 |
All you regular moviegoers out there should be warned: this is not the exciting experience that you may think or hope it?s going to be. | ||
'Flightplan' Movie Review (B) | Scott Sycamore | September 26, 2005 |
Imagine my delight when I found myself absorbed in this flick despite knowing quite a bit about it beforehand. | ||
'Cry Wolf' Movie Review (C) | Scott Sycamore | September 22, 2005 |
We never feel any tension or fright; we are simply watching the people go through the motions of a silly story. | ||
'Dick and Jane' Movie Review (D+) | Scott Sycamore | September 21, 2005 |
A shamefully forgettable and infuriatingly unfunny hack-job. | ||
'Lord of War' Movie Review (B) | Scott Sycamore | September 20, 2005 |
{Andrew Niccol} has crafted a keen slice of entertainment with a relevant message. | ||
