THE MONKEY
“The Monkey might not aim to be high brow. But even for low brow it doesn’t satisfy.” – Randy Steinberg, Blast Magazine
CLEANER
“Cleaner is a crackerjack action film that takes its time setting things up and then tears loose. The cleverly plotted script has more originality than a dozen superhero movies.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
OLD GUY
“Old Guy meets expectations for an action comedy while harkening back to the similarly plotted Burt Reynolds film Breaking In (1989). Generational change is a story that will never get old.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
“It takes a while to figure out what The Dead Thing is about, as it’s more of a puzzle box than an out-and-out horror film. While director Elric Kane has style to spare, some may find this a bit of a slow burn.”
“Anthony Mackie understood the assignment.”
“Renner is a real curio, pulling you in with its novel take on Artificial Intelligence, and then supplying enough plot twists for several stories. If you think you have it figured out… you still won’t see where it’s going.”
“But there’s something at the heart of Dog Man, beneath the aggressive franchising and twice as aggressive silliness—something that Davidson appears to identify with as Garfield’s ne’er-do-well kin.”
“At least the ‘creature feature’ side of Wolf Man clicks, capturing agile scares with audacious camerawork, centered on the cast’s panicked performances. But the film has less to say about paternity and modern man than it thinks it does, and much of what it does contribute to those necessary conversations regresses them instead.”
“Given the care given to the look and feel of Under the Crystal Sky, it seems odd that they would put so much effort into a movie that has – literally and figuratively – nothing to say.”
