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

“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.”

“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.”
“Watching two veteran actors bringing their characters to life is one of many possible pleasures at the movies. Watching them struggle in vain against a script that’s just spinning its wheels is not. The Rule Of Jenny Pen – a purported psychological thriller – is the latter.”
“Aladdin 3477- I: The Jinn of Wisdom takes the Aladdin story into the 35th century and then moves the action from the Middle East to southeast Asia. The question is whether there’s an audience for it.”
“As thin as Ben is on the page, Latif’s performance makes him practically transparent. He starts as a scumbag and only grows scummier as the story movies along.”
“My Name Is Alfred Hitchcock is an unusual approach to the oeuvre of filmdom’s ‘Master Of Suspense.’ Some forty years after his death, it imagines him coming back and discussing his life and career from a modern perspective. It is audacious and it works.”
“Tom Hardy and director Kelly Marcel made a film that was joyless and cynical.”
“In the end, Hangdog is just a shaggy dog story in search of a punchline.”
