The Brown Note Movie Review

The Commuter (2018)

Middling effort in the Liam Neeson mutli-verse.

Ricky Gervais Humanity (2018)

Sadly, far less laugh-out-loud funny than previous efforts and with deeply problematic targets (no less than three rows he's had with members of the public on Twitter and a really bad Caitlyn Jenner bit).

Ready Player One (2018)

Even thought his output this century has been mostly bad, sci-fi used to be Spielberg's safe space. This lackluster, forgettable effort exists in a problematic 1980's boys world.

Pacific Rim Uprising (2018)

Guillermo del Toro has ruined more sequels by NOT directing them than any other director, this, sadly, has none of the magic that made his original wonderful.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018)

The godawful Jurassic series has so far given one classic and five duds. What on earth was I smoking here to give this such a good review?

Jumanji: The Next Level

A lot to enjoy with this board game movie sequel and it sure looks pretty, even if it over-eggs much.

Jim Jeffries This Is Me (2018)

One of my favorite comedians this century's lesser stand-up works.

Game Night (2018)

I've been a fan of Jason Batemen since It's Your Move (look it up) and Rachel McAdams is his worthy co-star in the often hysterical comedy.

Coco (2019)

This heart soaring Mexican effort from the Pixar team, sits just shy of WALL-E, Inside Out and UP in their all time hall of fame. (as a side note, on my mixcloud page is a recent 8 episode, 8 hour travelogue on Mexico).

Blockers (2018)

Superior teen-adult comedy finds, improbably, that John Cena - alongside The Rock and Dave Bautista - is as good a comedic actor as wrestler.
