A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE
“The sight of military personnel responding to an actual crisis rather than being wasted on political theater strikes a nostalgic chord, and the sense that we’re watching a well-organized, competent government respond to an existential threat seems like it belongs to a different political era.” – Killian Melloy, Cinesaurus Rex
RUNNING FOR THE MOUNTAINS
“Mining is a deeply traditional occupation in West Virginia, but it’s only become more environmentally destructive even as forms of energy production such as wind and solar have become more effective alternatives.” – Killian Melloy, Cinesaurus Rex
LAST DAYS
“Where does devotion cross into delusion? Where does a desire for friendship darken into forcing oneself onto others? The movie asks these questions, along with other, equally disturbing ones.” – Killian Melloy, Cinesaurus Rex
BLUE MOON
“Some of the best scenes in the movie are when Hawke/Hart shuts up and just reacts physically to what’s being said to him or about him. They’re so good that you even forget about the combover.” – John Black, Cinekong
“The movie could have been better with a different writer, Ansari’s schtick was not well suited for this story.” 
“If you have ever sought therapy or have ever worked in the field, this is worth your time.” 
“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.” 
“It looks good and sounds good (thanks to Trent Reznor), this was a very expensive light show.” 
“It’s a cinematic hot pocket, not filling with no essential value to it.” 
“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.” 
“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.” 
“The story has a bittersweet conclusion, but it also shows glimmers of hope, however faint it is.” 
“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?” 
“
“PTA’s guerilla style of cinematography really suits this story, there was no excessive use of Shakey cam shooting and the like.” 
“I never knew the Rock had this much nuance in his repertoire”
