The Black Phone
Though the twists and turns aren’t necessarily surprising, they are set up so well that the tension builds to a satisfying series of payoffs

Beckett
Take away any personality and you have the story of a guy running around Greece while bleeding. It is about as entertaining as it sounds.

Those Who Wish Me Dead
There is little in the way of creativity or passion. However, Jolie is good enough to carry the movie. I wish she had been allowed to.

The Little Things
Good acting and intriguing themes are done in by weak plotting and the screenplay’s inability to get its points across effectively.

Run
It contains individual scenes that are compelling, but is largely unable to carry the tension over to its plotting and one major character.

The Witches
An uneven production that has enjoyable high-points, but peaks in the middle, before building to a frustratingly dull final act.

Rebecca
Despite a couple good performances and some quality production design, it just isn’t interesting.

7500
Sadly, 7500 runs out of fuel just as it seems prepared to kick into high gear.

The Invisible Man
It is a skillfully made suspense thriller that kept me consistently engrossed, even though I sort of knew where it was going.
