BOFCA REVIEW ROUNDUP: 8/15/2025
NOBODY 2
“If you are familiar with action comedies, then some of these cliches will be easily recognizable.” – Byron McNeal, On The Reel On Tumblr
EAST OF WALL
“Although East of the Wall never reaches its potential dramatically, it does showcase a powerful performance that resonates long after the sun has set in the Badlands. And it’s not from one of the professional actors but from the head of the family, Tabatha.“ – John Black, Cinekong
IN TRANSIT
“Can art equate with love? Can the tranquil nature of a serene and predictable domestic life feed the growth of one’s soul and the creative impulses that are part of living fully?” – Kilian Melloy, CineSaurus Rex

THE NAKED GUN
“It’s not art, but The Naked Gun should make you laugh… a lot. And stick around through all the closing credits.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
“Neeson totally leans into parodying his career catalog of action/suspense films and it fits this setting so well.” – Byron McNeal, On The Reel On Tumblr
THE BAD GUYS 2
“The Bad Guys 2 is an animated romp intended for the whole family, but if you don’t have any kids to take, don’t miss out on the fun and go see it by yourself.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS
“Far from perfect, but with this level of talent and style on display I am oh so impressed.” – Byron McNeal, On The Reel On Tumblr
“Despite that, this movie may be the least MCU-like movie to come out of the MCU in years — probably since Eternals.” – Rodney Brown, Nerd Caliber
SHOSHANA
“Shoshana, set in Tel Aviv in the 1930s and 1940s is not likely to change anyone’s mind, but it’s a powerful drama that shows that the fighting – and killing – has been going on for a long time.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
OH, HI!
“Having written a book about romantic comedies (I’ll Have What She’s Having), I’ve both defended the genre and criticized many romcoms in recent years that simply don’t work. Oh, Hi! does not work.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
HAPPY GILMORE 2
“(Sandler’s) no longer the angry young man you see in the many flashbacks included in the film; he’s older, wiser, and much more in control of his comedy.” – John Black, Cinekong
“This whole film wreaks of Netflix corporate, and for whatever reason.” – Byron McNeal, On The Reel On Tumblr

SAINT CLARE
“Saint Clare is the sort of movie that keeps surprising you even if you think you have it figured out. It’s a rich film that adds a lot of texture to what might have been a run-of-the-mill thriller.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
