Damsel (2024)

Damsel (2024) is not in distress but it is dull

A grittier-than-usual fairy tale about a princess (MBB) condemned to be sacrificed to a bloodthirsty dragon by a ruthless monarch (Wright). She turns the tables on her scaly tormentor and escapes her doom to take revenge on the kingdom that betrayed her.

The set-up for this grungy fantasy flick is promising but it's not as thrilling as it wants to be. The pacing is off (a common problem with Netflix movies) and the characterization changes on a dime. A young prince is introduced as …

You'd have to be made of stone not to be moved by this story of an ordinary individual doing a single good act that saved numerous lives.

The film picks up directly after the events of Dune with Paul …

Drive-Away Dolls

A flabbergasting disappointment from one half of the writing and directing team behind "Fargo" and "The Big Lebowski." Although amusing in parts, "Drive-Away Dolls" is amateurish at best.

Lisa Frankenstein

Good first impressions don't last, as the looney but shapless "Lisa Frankenstein" never finds an edge or a main idea to commit to.

Out of Darkness

Logan D. McCoy - wrote on 02/14/24

With little doubt, "Out of Darkness" is one of the scariest things to come out a long while. No one feels they can be trusted, and nowhere they go ever feels safe.
