“Michael Keaton slips back into the role of the titular character like an old pair of shoes. He’s still got it.” – Byron McNeal, On The Reel On Tumblr
REAGAN
“Reagan the movie is, I suppose, marginally better than Reagan the president, inasmuch as it has neither instituted economic policies which have crippled three generations and counting, nor caused through inaction the deaths of tens of thousands of Americans (though it is early yet in its theatrical run). It is still leagues away from what you or I might consider a ‘good movie,’ or even ‘a movie.’” – Oscar Goff, Boston Hassle
WOLVES AGAINST THE WORLD
“Wolves Against The World is not destined to become a horror classic, but it demonstrates an ambitious filmmaker with something to say who is making the most of the limited means at his disposal.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
“The Exorcism of Saint Patrick is a slow-burn horror movie, the first of a trilogy of films by writer/director Quinn Armstrong under the rubric ‘Fresh Hell.’ It’s notable in taking the notion of religious ‘gay conversion therapy’ – seen in the 2018 film Boy Erased – and upping the ante.” 
“Between The Temples is a movie likely to repel some Jewish viewers and leave many non-Jews wondering what the point of it was.” 
“Fede Álvarez returns to big-screen horror with Alien: Romulus, both a satisfying revival of the franchise and a remix of the original films to make something new but still revolving around a group dealing with unimaginable horrors. The final result has a few nicks and bumps, though the film certainly brings its A-game when splatter horror takes over.” – 
“A from-the-ground-up reconstruction of the infamous 1979 Bob Guccione-financed film, assembled from more than 90 hours of film (much of it long thought to have been lost), the Ultimate Cut is three hours of eye-popping footage never seen until now thanks to the use of alternate takes and cut scenes.” – 
“Unfortunately for the filmmakers, Skincare is only willing to go skin deep.” 
“As a film that gives a transgender man’s point of view, Close To You is a breakthrough that will speak to those in similar circumstances, whether being transgendered or connected to someone who is. One can only hope as other films about such characters get made, this will be seen as the start of the conversation not the culmination of it.” 
“Ezra Glenn reviews King Coal, the new PBS documentary about the culture and legacy of the coal industry.”

“A talented cast is left stranded in The Instigators, which may be the worst movie shot in Boston since Blown Away (1994). There may be others even worse, but it certainly deserves a place on the dishonor roll.”
