SKYSCRAPER
“In the late 1970s on the comedy series “SCTV,” John Candy and Joe Flaherty did a bit called “Farm Film Report” in which they reviewed the films of the day. Their highest praise was for movies that “blowed up real good.” They would have loved SKYSCRAPER.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
“SKYSCRAPER is an action movie where you’re going to get what you’re probably hoping for.” – Jaskee Hickman, Cinematic Essential
“The high points of SKYSCRAPER are, not too surprisingly, its literal high points.” – Greg Vellante, Edge Boston
“Put bluntly, we deserve better than this. The Rock deserves better than this. Neve Campbell deserves better than this. Big, dumb summer action movies deserve better than this.” – Deirdre Crimmins, High-Def Digest
HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA 3: SUMMER VACATION
“Overall, HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA 3 is an easy movie for summer vacation. It contains no real scares, but it’s fun enough for monster kids of all ages.” – Deirdre Crimmins, High-Def Digest
ZAMA
“With a richly textured visual technique and bone-dry humor, [Lucretia] Martel takes no small pleasure in depicting the gears of colonialism grinding up its own.” – Sean Burns, The ARTery
THE KING
“THE KING isn’t particularly interested in Elvis Presley as an artist or a person, cutting his most famously iconic performances to such smithereens the uninitiated may wonder what the fuss was all about.” – Sean Burns, The ARTery

Robyn Bahr looks at LOVE IS
ANT-MAN & THE WASP
“for a story full of small things getting big and big things getting small, the most satisfying thing about “Ant-Man and the Wasp” is its human-scaled sense of proportion.” – Sean Burns, NorthShoreMovies
“With a top-notch cast and exceptionally witty script, this is pure fun.” – Dan Kimmel, NorthShoreMovies
“A fine movie where the faults are glaring but not that damaging.” – Jaskee Hickman, Cinematic Essential
“It’s a Marvel movie, so you should know by now the villains are a red-herring and the “real” arch-nemeses are the insecurities and personal failings the heroes need to overcome.” – Bob Chipman, Geek.com
THE FIRST PURGE
“It’s RED DAWN for #TheResistance.” – Bob Chipman, Geek.com
“Worthy of the praise bestowed upon other, more critically favored, horror films.” – Deirdre Crimmins, High Def Digest
“Goes exactly where the other Purge movies have dared to go: batshit insane.” – Andy Crump, Paste
“Thanks to storytelling and some pretty solid acting, we’re able to connect with the characters of THE FIRST PURGE the way we should.” – Jaskee Hickman, Cinematic Essential
WHO’S WATCHING OLIVER?
“If you can imagine Woody Allen directing “Psycho,” you have a sense of what this movie is like.” – Dan Kimmel, NorthShoreMovies
