greta-isabelle-huppertGRETA

“Good trash is hard to come by these days, but watching the legendary Isabelle Huppert sink her teeth into the “stalker from hell” archetype in GRETA feels like getting struck by a bolt of lightning sent from the gods of camp.” – Charlie Nash, Edge Boston

“GRETA is [Neil] Jordan’s most gonzo fairy tale since 1999’s unfairly derided IN DREAMS, and in Huppert he’s found his ideal Big Bad Wolf.” – Sean Burns, The ARTery

“GRETA has impressive credentials for a horror/thriller movie. It’s a B-movie with A-movie production values.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

 

THE IMAGE BOOKThe-Image-Book-1600x900-c-default

“By tearing cinema down to its foundations once again, this restless raconteur is, as always, forcing us to look at the familiar as if for the first time.” – Sean Burns, The ARTery

download (10)HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON: THE HIDDEN WORLD

“…likely the most agreeable HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON film for kids, but it might mark the most disappointing entry yet when it comes to adult enjoyment.” – Greg Vellante, Edge Boston

“…there were a lot of things left on the cutting room floor that could have made HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON: THE HIDDEN WORLD a better film, but as is… it’s just fine.” – Byron McNeal, Nerd Caliber

“Those who recognize the thinness of the script may not find the vivid animation is enough to overcome it.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

invisibles1-articleLargeTHE INVISIBLES

“Part narrative feature, part docu-film, an entirely fresh and unforgettable take on the horrors of the Holocaust; this movie may be examining a facet of the worst crime in human history, but it has found a way to enjoy the best of both cinematic worlds.” – Kilian Melly, Edge Boston

FIGHTING WITH MY FAMILY

“…an entertaining and surprisingly touching story that may not turn you into a pro wrestling fan but will make you appreciate the effort and hard work that goes into succeeding in that world.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

THE MAN WHO KILLED HILTER AND THEN THE BIGFOOT

“If you’re able to buy into the admittedly odd premise, this is a movie that defies expectations.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
