BOFCA REVIEW ROUND-UP: 12/13/2019

Jumanji Next LevelJUMANJI: THE NEXT LEVEL

“Is THE NEXT LEVEL as good as its predecessor? No, but it gets close at times and will most likely provide you with legitimate entertainment.” – Jaskee Hickman, Cinematic Essential

 

Richard JewellRICHARD JEWELL

“It’s an important reminder of one our most fundamental rights: that a person is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

 

 

Adam Sandler Uncut GemsUNCUT GEMS

“What UNCUT GEMS presupposes (and exasperatingly argues) is that, despite all faults, even the most doggedly self-destructive and ignorant humans aren’t without merit. That underneath all the apprehension lies something decent, even if that decency is defined by that person’s own terms.” – Sam Cohen, EDGE Media Network

 

 

BOFCA REVIEW ROUND-UP: 12/06/2019

Portrait of a Lady on FirePORTRAIT OF A LADY ON FIRE

“PORTRAIT OF A LADY ON FIRE understands above all other things that nothing lasts. Even if you commit it to something indelible, be it a canvas or one’s own mind, that’s still all you’re left with in the end. No matter how hard you try to remember, time will always end up as the victor.” – Greg Vellante, Spectrum Culture

 

 

BOFCA REVIEW ROUND-UP: 11/22/2019

Al Pacino and Robert De Niro in the movie The IrishmanTHE IRISHMAN

“For all those that derided Scorsese for supposedly making films that support the unchecked male ego, THE IRISHMAN makes the director’s viewpoint even clearer: These violent and broken men are not to be worshipped, as they are constantly twisting the truth to appease the emotional faults that threaten to tear them apart.” – Sam Cohen, EDGE Media Network

“It’s an unexpectedly gripping elegy on a procession of tough guys and the meaning of their deeds, especially as embodied here by the Mount Rushmore of actors who have left us indelible imprints of their performances on film.” – Joyce Kulhawik, Joyce’s Choices

“In some ways, you can say that THE IRISHMAN was a safe movie for Martin Scorsese to make.” – Jaskee Hickman, Cinematic Essential

Tom Hanks as Mr. Rogers holding his puppet Daniel the Tiger in the movie A Beautiful Day in the NeighborhoodA BEAUTIFUL DAY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD

“It leaves us with an appreciation for Fred Rogers, and how much we could use someone of his temperament today.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

“I would encourage all to take the time to watch A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD as Tom Hanks delivers a stellar performance in another memorable role.” – Jaskee Hickman, Cinematic Essential
