WONKA

“This movie was a much needed shot of serotonin, and I don’t use that statement lightly.” – Byron McNeal, On The Reel On Tumblr

“I like my chocolate dark and rich. This prequel was neither.” – Joyce Kulhawik, Joyce’s Choices

CHICKEN RUN: DAWN OF THE NUGGET

“Chicken Run: Dawn Of The Nugget doesn’t top the original, but by shifting from a parody of prisoner-of-war movies to a very conscious effort here to spoof the Mission: Impossible series, it provides enough laughs for the whole family.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

UNDER THE INFLUENCER

“The success of the film rests on Scorce, who plays the early comic moments with abandon, yet let’s us see that there’s something more to Tori than being a bubbly online personality.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

THE THREE MUSKETEERS – PART 1: D’ARTAGNAN

“The Three Musketeers – Part 1: D’Artagnan tells the first half of the story, and is the first from France in decades, filled with sword fights and palace intrigue, but never losing sight of the characters amidst all of the swashbuckling.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

FAST CHARLIE

“Fast Charlie doesn’t break any new ground in the genre, but it’s the sort of engaging escapade that Hollywood used to turn out with ease.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

THE ARCHIES

“The Archies, against all expectations, works. In moving these iconic American teenagers to India, it manages to make them seem fresh and original.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

SILENT NIGHT

“For those who appreciated John Woo’s past movies, his return to Hollywood brings his unique style back to the big screen.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

IT’S A WONDERFUL KNIFE

“In letting the blood flow while holding onto the Capraesque optimism that triumphed in the original, they’ve created a holiday horror show that stands out from the rest.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

NAPOLEON

“It would be difficult to make a movie about Napoleon that is not epic or sweeping or grand, and Scott’s Napoleon does not fail in its attempt to match these characterizations. High budget and vast though it is, this version of Napoleon’s conquests—militaristic and romantic—is very paint by the numbers.” – Randy Steinberg, Blast Magazine
