5 Star Movies

5 Star Movies: Loving Vincent, Roman J. Israel Esq., The Cloverfield Paradox, Kingsman: The Golden Circle, The House

Loving Vincent: I’m not sure the story ever grabbed me but the gimmick here is that it is a hand-painted movie and it really is a gorgeous, hand-painted movie. So impressive. **3/4

Roman J. Israel, Esq: I like watching Tony Gilroy movies. Excellent Denzel Washington performance and just a great atmosphere. ***1/2

The Cloverfield Paradox: A ridiculously stacked cast acts in a dumb sub-B movie with a big Cloverfield monster tacked on at the end. *

Kingsman: The Golden Circle: Not sure the Americans added much to the story, but I will tell you what: these folks can do a god damn action sequence. ***1/4

The House: An insane amount of comedians is dicking around and it’s a fun time. ***
