28 YEARS LATER: THE BONE TEMPLE
“28 Years Later: The Bone Temple is a visceral film that will either convince you that a zombie movie can have substance or else make you wonder if the people praising the film are zombies themselves. For the record, this reviewer is definitely in the former camp.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
SOUND OF FALLING
“Mascha Schilinski’s generational family drama preserves a past of repeated traumas that echo through the ages.” – Killian Melloy, Cinesaurus Rex
FATHER MOTHER SISTER BROTHER
“What’s it all about? The better question is: What isn’t it about? This film feels more integrated and complete than have some Jarmusch joints.” – Killian Melloy, Cinesaurus Rex
ROSEMEAD
“Lucy Liu makes this a devastating gut punch of a movie.” – Killian Melloy, Cinesaurus Rex
DEAD MAN’S WIRE
“Director Gus Van Sant touches lightly on male-to-male eroticism, with the slightest tinge of BDSM, in this true hostage-taking story.” – Killian Melloy, Cinesaurus Rex
WE BURY THE DEAD
“Zombie hordes have overrun TV and movie screens. Is there anything fresh to be found in the midst of ravening teeth and rotting flesh? As it happens, there is.” – Killian Melloy, Cinesaurus Rex
“Every time Ava and her body-hunting partner, Clay (Brenton Thwaites), walk into a home or business, your heart leaps into your throat, anticipating what they will find.“ – John Black, Cinekong
SONG SUNG BLUE
“Jackman proved his musical chops with Les Miserables and The Greatest Showman, and now he shows himself a powerhouse performer of pop as well.” – Killian Melloy, Cinesaurus Rex
THE PLAGUE
“With his debut feature The Plague, writer-director Charlie Polinger demonstrates that he is adept at describing the signs and symptoms of adolescent awkwardness and the bullying it draws.” – Killian Melloy, Cinesaurus Rex
MARTY SUPREME
“Look for Timothée Chalamet to bask in some serious awards buzz for his starring role in Josh Safdie’s Marty Supreme, a nervy, screwball-ish paean to the American conviction that talent, drive, and a soupcon of brashness must comprise a recipe for success.” – Killian Melloy, Cinesaurus Rex
“I couldn’t take my eyes off Marty Supreme our titular hero who forges new frontiers of passion, swagger, and downright assholery as played by Timothée Chalamet.” – Joyce Kulhawik, Joyce’s Choices
THE TESTAMENT OF ANN LEE
“As noble failures go, The Testament of Ann Lee is one of the most intriguing of 2025. It’s compelling to watch… but its spirit remains elusive.” – Killian Melloy, Cinesaurus Rex
GOODBYE JUNE
“Goodbye June may be a bit unusual for a Christmas movie, but it ultimately captures the spirit of the season. Some advice: have a box of tissues handy.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
WAKE UP DEAD MAN: A KNIVES OUT MYSTERY
“Rian Johnson sets about spinning the kind of hall-of-mirrors narrative that made the first two Knives Out movies so much fun.” – Killian Melloy, Cinesaurus Rex
A FEW FEET AWAY
“It’s ironically apt that the viewer may, to some degree, experience a version of what the frustrated Santiago suffers: This is a film that’s strangely, stubbornly hard to connect with emotionally.” – Killian Melloy, Cinesaurus Rex
AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH
“Avatar: Fire and Ash continues to offer striking visuals and compelling storytelling and should more than satisfy fans of the series.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
DAVID
“The animated David is a decidedly mixed bag. There are some things that impress while other parts of the film are cringeworthy. Perhaps the youngsters for whom this is directed to will be more charitable.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
