Juror #2 (15): Clint Eastwood’s Courtroom Drama Is Gripping And Boasts a Stellar Cast.
One Mann's Movies Film Review of "Juror #2". A court-room drama from Clint Eastwood that provides riveting entertainment. 4/5.
Heretic (15): A Twinkly But Evil Hugh Grant Delivers The Goods In This Horror/Thriller.
One Mann's Movies Film Review of "Heretic". An entertaining A24 offering that is absolutely made by a twinkly Hugh Grant. 3.5/5.
Bird (15): Andrea Arnold’s Gritty Coming of Age Fantasy/Drama Flies High.
One Mann's Movies Film Review of "Bird". City-based fantasy/drama with feelgood vibes despite the background. Recommended. 4/5.
Sex (’15’): An Interesting Subject Spied From A Detached And Dull Viewpoint.
One Mann's Movies Film Review of "Sex". An interesting Norwegian study of infidelity but filmed in a dull and frustrating way. 2/5.
Woman of the Hour (15): A Watchable But Disjointed True Crime Flick .
One Mann's Movies Film Review of "Woman of the Hour". A crime thriller about the mass murderer and game show contestant Rodney Alcala. 3/5.
A Different Man (15): Art Imitating Life.
One Mann's Movies Film Review of "A Different Man". A clever comedy/thriller. 3.5/5.
Venom: The Last Dance (15): A Great Cast… Utterly Wasted.
One Mann's Movies Film Review of "Venom: The Last Dance". Poor end to the Eddie Brock trilogy. Totally forgettable. 2/5.
Smile 2 (18): A Sequel That Well Surpasses the Original.
One Mann's Movies Film Review of "Smile 2". One of the best gory horror's of the year in my book. Naomi Scott is superb. 4/5.
The Room Next Door (12A): Clunky Dialogue In The First Half Of This Almodóvar Left Me Cold .
One Mann's Movies Film Review of "The Room Next Door". It's well shot but I'm afraid I found this Almodóvar clunky and contrived. 2.5/5.
