Review: Heart trumps flaws of ‘The Creator’

Review: ‘Equalizer 3’ offers diminishing returns

By Terry J. Wood · Friday, Sep 1, 2023

The film is slick and fast and brutal, and at times humorous and touching. If its repetitive nature doesn’t bother you, the film will likely entertain you in the moment.

Review: ‘Gran Turismo’ solid entry to cap summer movie season

By Terry J. Wood · Friday, Aug 25, 2023

The movie is deftly shot with surprisingly few digital effects, which really pays off. The drone shots put you in the action, which is quite compelling.

Review: Thin characterization stakes new Dracula film, ‘The Last Voyage of the Demeter’

By Terry J. Wood · Friday, Aug 11, 2023

The film boasts great production values, a stylish flair for such a grim tale, and a fairly creepy and animalistic vampire who is more demon from Hell than creature of the night.

Review: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot delivers animated eye candy

By Terry J. Wood · Friday, Aug 4, 2023

Compliments to the screenwriters for striking a balance that is for kids but still is adult-friendly for those wishing to play along.

Review: Solid conclusion can’t save overlong ‘Haunted Mansion’

By Terry J. Wood · Friday, Jul 28, 2023

I’m more used to films devolving in the back half today than actually coming together as this movie did for me. The sheer likability of the cast is hard to dismiss.

By Terry J. Wood · Friday, Jul 21, 2023

Review: New Indy movie fails to capture magic of original three films

By Terry J. Wood · Friday, Jun 30, 2023

At 80 years old, Harrison Ford remains a star. His charm, gruffness, charisma and wry smile carries the movie as well as anyone could expect.

By Terry J. Wood · Friday, Jun 23, 2023
