Film Reviews
Film Review: “Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die”
“Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die” is unique, funny, and uncomfortably close to the world we’re already building, if not already living in.
Film Review: “Arco”
The artistry reinforces the film’s core belief that love, family, compassion, and simply talking to one another could fix more than we assume.
“Sinners Sets Record with (16) Nominations for the 98th Annual Academy Awards
Sinners, Ryan Coogler’s supernatural period drama about twin bootlegging brothers, set a new record when the nominations for the 98th Annual Academy Awards were announced this morning,
Film Review: “No Other Choice”
Tonally, “No Other Choice” balances the story’s bleakness with a surprising layer of absurd, slapstick comedy
Film Review: “28 Years Later: Bone Temple”
“28 Years Later: Bone Temple” is still bloody and bizarre like the last film, but it’s also personal and weirdly optimistic
Film Review: “Marty Supreme” (Review #2)
The real Marty Reisman had a long career, and Safdie ends his own tale while his athlete is still young. Perhaps he knew well enough wrap things up while the game was going well.
Film Review: “Song Sung Blue”
Based on a true story (I highly recommend seeing the documentary of the same name), “Song Sung Blue” succeeds mostly on the performances of Jackman and Hudson.
Film Review: “The Housemaid”
The film is well paced, and director Feig wisely let’s the story play out without telegraphing the next twist. All in all, this is a film I really recommend.
Film Review: “Avatar: Fire and Ash”
“Avatar: Fire and Ash” is the first film for a third time, and no amount of budget money or visual spectacle can fix that repetitive storytelling.
