TAMMY

“Fed up with everyone, she heads out on a road trip with her grandma, but only because grandma has some money. They get into a series of increasingly silly (and vulgar) misadventures, a life lesson is learned, end of film. Yawn.” – John Black, Boston Event Guide

“Like IDENTITY THIEF, I was waiting to laugh at TAMMY, but the laughs never came.” – Jaskee Hickman, The Movie Picture Show

“Where some may see a bait and switch, I see a pleasant surprise.”  – Kristofer Jensen, C-Ville Weekly

“How many times can you play the same vulgar and aggressively stupid character before the audience moves on?” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

EARTH TO ECHO

“You have seen this movie before. More to the point, you have seen it done better, and with greater cohesion.” – Andy Crump, Movie Mezzanine

“EARTH TO ECHO is not a great movie by any means, but it’s an upbeat sci-fi flick for younger audiences that they may enjoy.” – Jaskee Hickman, The Movie Picture Show

“For those viewers who measure their ages in single digits, this will prove to be one of the best films of the summer.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

SNOWPIERCER

“SNOWPIERCER isn’t just a movie worth seeing, it’s a movie worth arguing about.” – Sean Burns, Spliced Personality

“If the film is about the evils of monetary greed and the threat of climate change, then Bong’s shrewdly assembled cast firmly proclaims just how much these issues impact us on a global rather than merely local scale.” – Andy Crump, In Review Online

“A film like SNOWPIERCER isn’t for everyone, but it’s something many will find entertaining.” – Jaskee Hickman, The Movie Picture Show

It’s rare treat for filmgoers to experience a film that dodges labels as effectively as SNOWPIERCER.” – Kristofer Jenson, DIG

“The journey through the train and the twists and turns it takes—which aren’t groundbreaking, but still work—is a big part of the fun.” – David Riedel, Santa Fe Reporter

LIFE ITSELF

“You can argue about his taste in films, or his penchant for hobnobbing with the celebrities and filmmakers whose work he wrote about, but you can’t deny the fact that the guy not only had talent, but had a passion for using that talent to write about what he loved. ” – John Black, Boston Event Guide

“The positivity is contagious, the stubborn lust for life formidable, and he never once ever stopped carrying on about how much he loved movies. Even when he couldn’t talk.” – Sean Burns, Technology Tell

“That’s the kind of person Ebert was: someone who handed down his passion from one person to the next, opening up our minds to the possibilities of the medium he loved so dearly.” – Andy Crump, Movie Mezzanine

AI WEIWEI: THE FAKE CASE

“… the more Ai changes, the more he stays the same.” – Andy Crump, In Review Online

THIRD PERSON

“This is a movie that deliberately challenges and provokes us, bending and blurring reality in ways that start out as subtle and then progress to outlandish.” – Kilian Melloy, Edge Boston

BEGIN AGAIN

“It’s featherweight. It’s unbelievable. It’s cute and charming, and it’s an antidote to crappy summer films.” – David Riedel, Santa Fe Reporter

DELIVER US FROM EVIL

“I still liked DELIVER US FROM EVIL in spite of its obvious blemishes, but I can’t say I’d recommend it to anyone looking to see a horror movie in the theaters at this time.” – Jaskee Hickman, The Movie Picture Show
