We Said: “There’s so much to
admire about Valerian from a technical standpoint that you almost want to
forgive everything else that is so wrong with it. You’ll keep waiting for the
light switch to turn on and for [Writer/Director Luc] Besson to fully realize Valerian’s
immense potential. But after a couple of hours you’ll find that forgiveness and
patience can only travel so far.” Rating:

We Said: “I imagine the majority
of filming The Hitman’s Bodyguard was Reynolds and Jackson bouncing snark
off of one another like a freshly-tossed smoke grenade. Surely, most of the film seems ad-libbed
right there on the spot, giving the duo ample chance to hit their “muthaf**ka”
quota in about five minutes. Three minutes if you include co-star Salma Hayek.”

a young criminal (Robert Pattinson). After a botched bank robbery leaves his

We Said: “Set afire by the
combination of Oneohtrix Point Never’s sonic soundtrack and Sean Price
Williams’ searing 35mm visuals, Good Time is a treat for the senses.
As it rages to an inevitably chaotic conclusion, we’re left with a bittersweet
reminder that Good Time is, at its core, a story about family and one’s
devotion to it.” Rating: 4 out of 5
