BOFCA REVIEW ROUND-UP: 02/16/2018

df11042fca089e9d428646165de05469acf9641dBLACK PANTHER

“BLACK PANTHER is one of the best films to come out of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.” – Jaskee Hickman, Cinematic Essential

“BLACK PANTHER entertains, emotionally stirs, and thoughtfully provokes its audience with the swagger and confidence of an instant classic. And a meaningful one, at that.” – Greg Vellante, Edge Boston

“If you are invested in art as a political force, then you will be able to stand up cheering at BLACK PANTHER too.” – Deirdre Crimmins, Daily Grindhouse

“As with very few in the genre, this is a game-changer.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

“This is by far the most visually exciting Marvel adventure yet, eschewing their usual drab airport parking lots and stairwell fights in favor of grand, eye-popping colors courtesy of Coogler’s FRUITVALE STATION cinematographer Rachel Morrison and glorious costume designs by DO THE RIGHT THING’s legendary Ruth E. Carter.” – Sean Burns, Spliced Personality

“…most important of all, the film carries a potent vision of the future liberated by an imaginary paradise of a past.” – Joyce Kulhawik, Joyce’s Choices

 

movie-trailer-early-manEARLY MAN

“EARLY MAN has the ability to make you laugh and enjoy yourself with everything else that’s included.” – Jaskee Hickman, Cinematic Essential

“This is sure-fire family entertainment during school vacation week. Indeed, it’s for Aardman fans of all ages.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

“EARLY MAN, despite paling in comparison, is still an exceptional work from Aardman that delivers exactly the type of humor, heart and heroism we’ve come to expect from the production company.” – Greg Vellante, Spectrum Culture

“Even with all of the narrative conventions weighing on EARLY MAN, there’s still a bounty of laughs to be mined from it.” – Sam Cohen, Substream Magazine
