BOFCA REVIEW ROUNDUP 5/26/2017

PIRATES 5PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES

“From the start, PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES proves itself to be mediocre.” – Jaskee Hickman, Cinematic Essential

“The damn thing is just a hair over two hours but by the time the house lights came up I felt like I’d been stuck watching it a for goddamn week.” – Bob Chipman, Geek.com

“As a movie it’s disposable. As this year’s edition of a favorite ride, it will likely satisfy.” – Daniel Kimmel, North Shore Movies

“The fifth and supposedly final installment turns out to be the best movie in the franchise since THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL.” – Nick Casaletto, We Live Entertainment

“What hurts BAYWATCH is basically having a first half that fails to impress.” – Jaskee Hickman, Cinematic Essential

“It turns out to be a lot more entertaining than it has any right to be.” – Daniel Kimmel, North Shore Movies

“There’s a point where being ironically disposable turns into regular disposable, and BAYWATCH gets there a lot sooner than it needs to.” – Bob Chipman, Geek.com

BOFCA REVIEW ROUNDUP 5/19/2017

alien covenantALIEN: COVENANT

“It can’t surprise us as the early films did. Instead, it plays in the margins, providing variations on a theme.” – Dan Kimmel, North Shore Movies

“A rip-snorting scare picture with a deliciously sick sense of humor.” – Sean Burns, Spliced Personality

“Scott and company decided to take this franchise down a cliché, though sometimes mesmerizing, path.” – Nick Casaletto, We Live Entertainment

“ALIEN: COVENANT isn’t a great film, but it’s a solid one that serves its purpose by moving the franchise forward.” – Jaskee Hickman, Cinematic Essential

“I don’t give a damn where the Alien comes from and neither should you.” – Bob Chipman, Geek.com

“What a fantastically odd and different movie.” – Nick Casaletto, We Live Entertainment
