Audiences will debate whether the final takeaway is self-deprecating or self-congratulatory, but either way, it's so far up its own ass that it can't breathe.

It is a darkly comic and deeply disturbing look at the intersection of journalism and entertainment, of justice and exploitation.

It's as funny as it is stressful.

The actors' amusement here is just infectious enough to make Alpha Gang passably entertaining, but not infectious enough to be much more than that.

Not only does the story of Rogue Trooper get more interesting the more weird directions it branches out in, but it felt to me as if the animation actively improved over the course of its runtime. I don't know if that's me getting more accustomed to the style or if the later scenes were animated later in the film's long production cycles.

There are very few legacy sequels that get close to living up to an original, and even with those low expectations, Practical Magic 2 is one of the weakest that's graced our screens. If I had magical powers, I'd make it disappear.

While it's not for everyone, Onslaught definitely explodes, creating a relentless action-horror hybrid you won't soon forget.

None of this is Angourie Rice or Spike Fearn's fault, as this mismatched couple has brief glimpses of chemistry that almost manage to sell the preposterous nature of the material.

The End of Oak Street is a movie that throws almost everything conceivable at the wall to see what sticks, and somehow, with just a 99-minute runtime, it tells a story that's cohesive enough to work, mysterious enough to keep you intrigued, and deliriously fun enough to keep you engaged from beginning to end.

To say that Coyote vs. Acme is the best cartoon-characters-in-the-real-world movie since "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" is both 100% correct and also not that huge a compliment, considering "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" is a perfect movie and everything else in the genre ranges from mixed bag to trash.
