JOHN CANDY: I LIKE ME

“You come away from John Candy: I Like Me with both laughter and tears, happy that his comedic talents are preserved for new generations to discover and sad to think of what might have been.” Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

TRON: ARES

“It looks good and sounds good (thanks to Trent Reznor), this was a very expensive light show.” Byron McNeal, On The Reel On Tumblr

BOFCA REVIEW ROUNDUP: 10/3/2025

SINCERELY SAUL

“Clearly Sincerely Saul is not for every taste. Those of a certain age with an especially twisted sense of humor may be able to relate. Everyone else will wonder what the hell is going on.” Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

 

THE LOST BUS

“This thriller manages not to feel claustrophobic, and if the occasional exploding heating oil tank has a tacked-on feel, such moments still provide propulsion to an already-breakneck visual spectacle.” Killian Melloy, Cinesaurus Rex

KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN

“The story has a bittersweet conclusion, but it also shows glimmers of hope, however faint it is.” Byron McNeal, On The Reel On Tumblr

WENT UP THE HILL

“If it’s a moral injury for a gay man to be compelled by a ghost to have sex with a woman, then why isn’t it an equally egregious abuse for a church, or society as a whole, to do the same thing?” Killian Melloy, Cinesaurus Rex

 

SPINAL TAP II: THE END CONTINUES

What was cinematic lightning in a bottle four decades ago plays like something nasty floating in a punch bowl in 2025.John Black, Cinekong

 

 

ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER

THE SMASHING MACHINE

“I never knew the Rock had this much nuance in his repertoire” Byron McNeal, On The Reel On Tumblr
