REPTILE
“Del Toro, who worked on the script crafted by director Grant Singer and Benjamin Brewer, has a meaty role that – like much of the cast – plays him against type.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

BARBIE
“Barbie’s about to confront real life, feet on the ground…until Greta and co-writer/husband Noah Baumbach turn into Chatty Cathy (also created by Ms. Handler) and kill the momentum by scripting the elaborate details of a metaphysical portal to the real world, how to get there, all the gadgets on the journey and why weird Barbie is weird.” – Joyce Kulhawik, Joyce’s Choices
“The biggest message that we all have to find our own way.” – Byron McNeal, On The Reel On Tumblr
“The movie revels in the history of Barbie, from the related dolls that didn’t quite take off (including one that got pregnant), to the notion that the doll presents both an impossible physical ideal and yet also allowed the children playing with Barbies to imagine endless possibilities not only for her but for themselves.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
OPPENHEIMER
“Nolan has not only crafted one of the best films of year. He has made one that will be watched and discussed long after much of its competition has been forgotten.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
“Christopher Nolan has orchestrated a blazing field of talent around a detailed, masterfully edited, multi-faceted plot with a central core: the making of the bomb and its fallout, globally and personally for the genius at the helm: J. Robert Oppenheimer.” – Joyce Kulhawik, Joyce’s Choices
TIGER WITHIN
“By focusing on the interior life of only one of the two main characters, Tiger Within is more of a missed opportunity than a film rediscovery.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
BIOSPHERE
“In a 53-minute segment of an anthology series, they might have gotten away with the audacity of their premise. At twice that length, this is at best a potential cult film for a limited audience.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
THE OUT-LAWS
“Perhaps one of the few benefits of the pandemic is that this is the sort of movie unlikely to attract theater-going audiences anymore.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
MAFIA MAMMA
“Full disclosure: I didn’t finish watching Mafia Mamma. I couldn’t. It’s awful.” – John Black, Cinekong Reviews
“Mixing raunchy comedy with scenes of bloody violence, the movie tries to please a variety of viewers but may only leave them confused.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
