'The Call of the Wild' Review

We don't get family films like this anymore.

'Sonic the Hedgehog' Review

Works as a run-of-the-mill family movie with oddball pop culture jokes that won’t make sense in two years.

Spies in Disguise Review

Have the people at Blue Sky been listening to the Trashmen? Because apparently bird is the word.

Frozen II Review

Does it live up to the predecessor? Well, in some ways yes and in most ways no.

Lady and the Tramp Review

They saved their best for their streaming service.

Abominable Review

If Dreamworks are incredible at one thing, it's creating cute and cuddly creatures that you want to buy a stuffed plush of.

Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark Review

Maybe my excitement for this flew way too close to the sun.

Dora and the Lost City of Gold Review

Moner comes onboard as if she was Clockwork Orange-d into binging endless episodes of Dora the Explorer until she became one with the titular character, which she did.

The Art of Racing in the Rain Review

Forget The Art of Racing in the Rain, you should’ve called this The Art of Seeking Distribution.

The Lion King Review

Unable to hold even the wax to the candle to the original.

Toy Story 4 Review

You’re going to see this regardless. I’m just here to reiterate why it’s so damn good.

Missing Link Review

I just want to see the color script of the film because nearly each frame is such a beautiful piece of work.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse Review

Sony has finally used their Spidey powers for good.

Ralph Breaks The Internet Review

Besides being an insightful social statement of internet culture, there is a timely narrative attached that is bolder than any story that any animated film has told this year.

Rendy Jones 11/02/2018 Rendy Jones 11/02/2018

The Nutcracker and the Four Realms Review

This is supposed to be a movie based on “The Nutcracker” and instead you have what feels like an “Alice” clone.

Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween Review: Nostalgic Trip For Fans and the Family

While the 2015 film was a fun and campy romp of the “Goosebumps” creatures coming to life, this is more reminiscent of its source material and the television series, but with a bigger budget. This is distinctively a “Goosebumps” movie that has the same nature that the TV show had.

Smallfoot Review: Yeti Animated Feature Steps on Familiar Field

All of the vocal performances are great, but the characters are written so thinly, especially when it comes to the powerful message the film tries to convey.

The House With A Clock in Its Walls Review

This is going to be a quick one.

A.X.L. Review

There’s nothing much to say about this Direct-to-DVD film that somehow inadvertently made its way to a theater.

Christopher Robin Review

Did an executive from the studio say, “We’re Disney. We can’t let this be smart and dignified. We’ll be as silly as ALL OF OUR CURRENT MOVIES ARE!”

Rendy Jones 07/22/2018 Rendy Jones 07/22/2018

Teen Titans Go! To the Movies Review

“Teen Titans Go! To the Movies” takes jabs at everything superhero-related, the business of movie studios, and of course the studio they came from; it’s similar to what the merc with the mouth does but in an appropriate manner.

Rendy Jones 07/01/2018 Rendy Jones 07/01/2018

Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation Review

This is an animator’s movie... as in a movie where animators are able to go buckwild with their movement and care less about whatever narrative attached.

Incredibles 2 Review

For “Incredibles 2” being the first sequel by Writer/Director Brad Bird (based on a property that he created), he thoroughly delivers on making a serviceable sequel for fans who adore the predecessor.
