Filmrecensies van Don Shanahan

Indiana Jones has become a time capsule and should have stayed a time capsule. You can’t get that same kind of sunset ending twice or three times. Recensie

The captivating and rarified results from Celine Song show mature restraint, reward patience, and disarm all sympathies for living and being alive. Recensie

This movie was better off not slamming the accelerator through its narrative entanglements to the next action showdown. Miller and company are best in The Flash when they are not doing something super and addressing the bigger themes about their conditions and consequences. Recensie

Wiping away all the dropped cameos, the central high-spirited affection in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is incredibly powerful. Recensie

Gattaca isn't full of special visual effects and spectacular fights and aliens, but it is a visually stunning film. It is a work of art, and I will rewatch it. Recensie

Sign Lulu Wilson up for action, horror, comedy, or whatever she fits. Let her make more of these Becky romps or give her something bigger. Recensie

The celebrated music does that purely on its own, but the rest of the spectacle, amid some foibles, is all there as well. This is a fitting use of an entertainment appointment for families ready to skip the streaming couch for the summertime big screen. Recensie

While a modern 21st century maturity against frank toxic masculinity was infused to be appreciated, there is an unmistakable edginess that is missing, top to bottom in White Men Can’t Jump. Recensie

The real question for Hypnotic is whether these inclusions and angles are nods and homages or cheap knockoffs. For a while, the invisible layers are bonkers, but they flirt with turning clever after a while. Nevertheless, it still feels like the trivial latter. The aftereffect of all this creates one of the most cockamamie and off-the-rails action movies in recent memory. Recensie

More than anything, What’s Love Got to Do With It puts a strong emphasis on family honor and its aforementioned different speed of romantic finality. Those nuclei become natural and not forced on a journey where the wallup and flourish surprisingly arrive in two different places. Recensie

A Tourist’s Guide to Love respects its characters, its audience, and its cultural depictions with more tact and nobility than the norm, giving us a refreshing and relaxing PG-rated romantic drama. Recensie

Any air-conditioned frost of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 can be scraped or shaken off relatively easily, but not this movie’s heart. Recensie

Lowery seems to be the one hired auteur from Disney that takes the prospect of “re-imagining” seriously to deconstruct and reconstruct big mythos. Recensie

Regrettably, there was a fuller movie possible that was washed away at the end. Recensie

This is one of the most affecting performances of Steve Zahn’s career and a beautiful spotlight of his ageless appeal. Recensie

Admiring the semi-straight effort, bets could be made where this cookier version would play better than this soapy one and fit the comedy strengths of his director Andy Fickman. Recensie

To say Showing Up is watching paint dry or, in the case, clay dry is far too mean. Quiet is one thing and introspective is another. Do you relish the glacial anticipation and personal payoff of creative culmination or are you just showing up to the art show at the end, as characters do here, for the wine and cheese. Recensie

Mamma Mafia wastes two of the best female actors of their generation. Recensie

The narrative scaffolding around Carl Nargle in Paint is terribly flimsy. Not a cog in the story fits his antiquated dimensions, and it shows. Recensie

Those curious and poised to watch composures rattled, zingers exchanged, balls busted, and dreams fulfilled get all that and then some in Air. Recensie

Banner and Sedgwick dangle and then decidedly choose a bumpy climactic path, putting us right back to curiosity versus anxiety. Correcting either for a wayward soul or two exceeds this movie’s reach. Recensie

Egerton’s charm turns what could have been a semi-lame biopic into an R-rated, borderline caper film of corporate espionage circling dire Cold War consequences. Recensie

Much can be complimented in those crisply stylish attempts at big ideas and even bigger questions. Yet, it is hard to fathom the so-called infinite as having something missing, but a penetrative punch is absent. Recensie

Boston Strangler, for better or worse, needed more of its ominous titular villain. Those looking for a more forensic treatment of this historical hullabaloo will not find that satisfaction here. Yet, there’s more than enough respectful polish and attempts at prestige in Boston Strangler to stand out slightly above the pile of repetitive television entries. Recensie
