THE DAMNED
“The Damned is a perfect little ice-cold January horror gem blending historical, psychological, and folk chills into a bleak midwinter’s tale to keep you up through the longest nights of the year.” – Ezra Haber Glenn, The Arts Fuse
ALADDIN 3477- I: THE JINN OF WISDOM
“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.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
KRAVEN THE HUNTER
“I nearly got tetanus, from all the edge.” – Byron McNeal, On The Reel On Tumblr
THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE WAR OF THE ROHIRRIM
“The story was basically, ‘We have Game of Thrones at home’.” – Byron McNeal, On The Reel On Tumblr
CHASING CHASING AMY
“Chasing Chasing Amy is a unique film about how a movie can affect people differently and how even the filmmaker can’t predict what that outcome could be.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 3
“Fans will love it, so will kids and that’s what is going to keep the lights on for this franchise, giving people member berries by the truckload.” – Byron McNeal, On The Reel On Tumblr
A COMPLETE UNKNOWN
“Chalamet delivers the performance of the year conveying with astounding authority Dylan’s solitary, one-off intensity, free floating rebelliousness, elusiveness, brilliance, wisdom and wiseass humor, snarky persona, and extraordinarily convincing vocals without caricaturing the artist.” – Joyce Kulhawik, Joyce’s Choices
