Welcome

Hello. I’m Kevinthecritic, and welcome to my film and TV review blog.  I’ve been writing film reviews since 2005 and decided to start posting them up here.  Good, bad, unmentionably terrible, nothing is safe from my criticism!  Enjoy!

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes Lacks the Bite of its Predecessors

December 4, 2023 by Kevin

2.5 out of 5 stars (decent) While I never wrote full reviews of them on release, The Hunger Games is one of my favorite film franchises.  Coming out when I was a teenager, these films helped me grow as a critic, making me realize the value of strong characterizations, the exploration of dark, sometimes uncomfortable… Continue Reading

Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie: Mighty Cute Fun For The Very Young

October 22, 2023 by Kevin

3 out of 5 stars (average) Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie is the cutest superhero film your kids can see this year.  Based on the popular Paw Patrol TV show (currently with an impressive 10 seasons), The Mighty Movie is a standalone sequel to the 2021 film that sees its four-legged heroes gain superpowers to… Continue Reading

Barbie: The Surprising Love It Or Hate It Film of 2023

July 26, 2023 by Kevin

3.5 out of 5 stars (above average) Barbie is one of those films you’ll either be entirely on-board with or spend its runtime groaning in agony.  Coming from the minds of Greta Gerwig (director of Little Women and Lady Bird), Barbie is a fiercely feminist film made for adults whose direct satire of men and… Continue Reading

July 20, 2023 by Kevin

3 out of 5 stars (average) I didn’t play with Barbie dolls much when I was a kid, but I had boxes and boxes of toys.  I spent many hours acting out little adventures with them, all organized into small boxes so I could mix and match if I wanted.  To this day, most of… Continue Reading

Book Club 2: This Next Chapter A Pleasant Improvement

May 25, 2023 by Kevin

3 wedding dress montags out of 5 (average) Back in 2019, I gave a royal kicking to the geriatrically star-studded Book Club.  Of course, a mid-20’s guy probably wasn’t their target demographic, but even still, I distinctly remember being bored mostly due to the film’s inability to commit to its raunchy humor and beguiling choice… Continue Reading

Polite Society: A Bonkers, Thoroughly Entertaining Ode to Sisterhood

May 14, 2023 by Kevin

4 out of 5 stars (one of the best of the year) Polite Society is one of the standout films of 2023.  It’s a creative, bonkers, and highly entertaining film about how far one would go for their sibling that manages to marry multiple genres and tones without ever breaking a sweat.  Add to that… Continue Reading
