GLITTER & DOOM
“What’s not to love about a musical that draws all its songs (and a fair amount of its dialogue) from the Indigo Girls’ body of work, gives us Ming-Na Wen in an eyepatch, and sprinkles in a bunch of fun cameos?” – Kilian Melloy, EDGE Media Network
CABRINI
“Now is precisely the right time for a movie about the patron saint of immigrants, who demanded that such people be treated with dignity and respect for their humanity.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
KUNG FU PANDA 4
“This was an earnest love letter to generations of fans.” – Byron McNeal, On The Reel On Tumblr
“I trust the future of this universe is in good hands.”
“In the end, this is how people get on with their lives even after events over which they have no control.”
“A psychological and emotional thriller of sorts, Lie with Me puts its characters (and its audience) through a wringer and keeps us guessing from scene to scene.” –
“There’s nothing inherently wrong with mixing a polemic with horrific elements. Yet by turning this into a haunted house story, the film’s message becomes muddled if not going entirely off-track.”
“There’s a big twist to the story, which ruins everything. It’s not just that the twist comes out of nowhere; it adds nothing but the twist to a story that was doing fine without it.
“The point of the film isn’t to disparage Christianity. Quite the contrary. Through news footage and interviews with prominent Christians, he demonstrates that those professing Christian nationalism are more interested in political power than in the teachings of Jesus.”
“Their holiday goals are simple: get wasted, get laid, repeat. Unfortunately for viewers, what’s exciting to their underage imagination is, for the most part, boring as hell to watch.”
“Suncoast is one from the heart for writer/director Chinn. It may prove a bit more ragged for those watching it from the outside.”
“Restore Point is a crackerjack techno-thriller from the Czech Republic that can more than hold its own with any offerings from Hollywood.”
“The best way to describe this combination romantic comedy and science fiction film is to imagine that writer/director Michael Lukk Litwak put When Harry Met Sally and The Fifth Element into a blender and set it on puree.”
“So, with all of those positives, why am I not singing the praises of this movie? Basically, it comes down to poor story choices.”
“The Taste of Things is a ravishing feast of food and romance, appetite and longing, life and death, love and loss.” –
