PACIFIC RIM: UPRISING

“Although this won’t be well received due to everything it gets wrong, there are some things in PACIFIC RIM UPRISING that people may like.” – Jaskee Hickman, Cinematic Essential

“Like most of these event movies, there’s a threat of more to come before the credits close. Let’s hope that someone with a good reason for returning to this universe gets attached to the project.” – Sam Cohen, Substream Magazine

“This agonizing cash-grab is quite literally a vegetable, dead on arrival inside a coffin made of mediocrity and buried within a shallow grave of uninspired bullshit.” – Greg Vellante, Edge Boston

 

downloadUNSANE

“A deliciously nasty little thriller with a ragged, low-budget edge, the film feels like a kicky, throat-clearing exercise by a guy who just wanted to see if he could go make a whole movie on his phone.” – Sean Burns, The ARTery

“As you watch UNSANE, you’ll learn that what’s most important are the elements that allow this to be a sound mystery that manages to keep you busy on a mental level.” – Jaskee Hickman, Cinematic Essential

“UNSANE questions the true nature of people and curiously explores whether we can even trust our neighbors, creating a strong case for us all to just become hermit crabs viewing the world from a smartphone shell.” – Greg Vellante, Edge Boston

“I am not saying specifically that UNSANE should be avoided, but if you do choose to see it, keep your expectations reserved, even when the film itself promises you more.” – Deirdre Crimmins, Film Thrills

“Rather than looking cheap, the iPhone-lensed images capture a certain queasiness, as though you’re witnessing something that you shouldn’t.” – Brett Michel, The Improper Bostonian
