TMN film critic gives “Climax” 4/5 See-No-Evil monkey emojis Hello, welcome back to Truman. Hope you watched lots of movies this summer — I certainly did. “The Last Black Man in San Francisco,” “Midsommar,” “Wild […]
TMN film critique gives “Avengers: Endgame” four and a half out of five tacos. “Avengers: Endgame” is an impressive cinematic achievement, resonating both with die-hard Marvel fans and casual viewers. The $1.2 billion raked in […]
TMN film critic Gordon McPherson gives “Unicorn Store” 3.5/5 vacuums. Brie Larson’s quirky directorial debut “Unicorn Store” is entertaining, albeit decently cringeworthy. The film centers around Kit, played by Larson, a glitter-obsessed art school dropout […]
TMN film critic Gordon McPherson gives “Cold War” four out of five hammers and sickles. Spring is finally here. Hallelujah. There hasn’t been a better time to watch “Cold War,” a grim Polish love story […]
TMN film critic Gordon McPherson gives “Us” four out of five white rabbits. Director Jordan Peele’s “Us” is hair-raising, timely, darkly comedic and practically overflowing with ambitious messages. Perhaps Peele’s reach slightly exceeds his grasp, […]
TMN movie critic Gordon McPherson gives “The Guilty” five out of five headsets. With “Avengers: Endgame” coming out April 26, it seems appropriate that I review a film stripped of all effects-driven bombast — one […]

Rating: 3 out of 5 seahorses Director James Wan’s “Aquaman” is a ridiculous film that likely killed many of my brain cells, but I enjoyed its sensory overload nevertheless. This DC Comics film centers around […]
The emotionally charged “Creed Ⅱ” thrills but doesn’t quite land the knockout punch of the 2015 original.
Despite its flaws, “Creed Ⅱ” still proves an intense, heartfelt boxing drama that successfully expands upon, and would also prove a fitting end to, the “Rocky” franchise. […]
Without giving too much away, “The Passage” centers around a clumsy, disoriented, burrito-loving man named Phil, played by Philip Burgers, who doesn’t utter a word the entire film. On the run from two plump pursuers, Phil stumbles across a variety of multicultural situations — from a Spanish church service to a Haitian family household — and forges connections despite his, and viewers’, utter confusion. No explanations, subtitles or compromises. All immersive, humane, surreal entertainment that viewers will either enjoy or completely detest. […]
