BOFCA REVIEW ROUNDUP: 7/7/2023

TIGER WITHIN

“By focusing on the interior life of only one of the two main characters, Tiger Within is more of a missed opportunity than a film rediscovery.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

 

BIOSPHERE

“In a 53-minute segment of an anthology series, they might have gotten away with the audacity of their premise. At twice that length, this is at best a potential cult film for a limited audience.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

THE OUT-LAWS

“Perhaps one of the few benefits of the pandemic is that this is the sort of movie unlikely to attract theater-going audiences anymore.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

BOFCA REVIEW ROUNDUP: 6/30/2023

MAKEUP

“A slow-burning story of attraction, loss, and self-discovery.” – Kilian Melloy, EDGE Media Network

 

 

INDIANA JONES AND THE DIAL OF DESTINY

“…if all you’re looking for is big screen escapism, the awkwardly titled Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny certainly delivers.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

 

“Though this escapade takes us under the sea, up in the air, through the back alleys of exotic locales, and back in time– what held me through the drawn-out chases, the not-so-surprising twists, and the clunky climax, was Harrison Ford’s Indiana Jones still cracking his whip and wearing his fedora. Hats off to him.” – Joyce Kulhawik, Joyce’s Choices

 

ELDORADO – EVERYTHING THE NAZIS HATE

“The need to remember history is with us always; the need to remember this particular history is crucial, and urgent, to the exact moment in which we find ourselves.” – Kilian Melloy, EDGE Media Network

 

NIMONA

“Originally a project of Twentieth Century-Fox/Blue Sky (“Ice Age,” “Rio”) it was scrapped when Disney shut down Blue Sky upon acquisition of the movie studio. Now completed, it is easily one of the most original and entertaining animated stories in some time.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

THE FLASH

“Director Andy Muschietti made something truly entertaining, so I will give credit where it is due.” – Byron McNeal, On The Reel On Tumblr

“Calle makes you feel the pain of the loss of Krypton in a couple of silent looks, more than every line of dialogue Henry Cavill’s Superman ever delivered on the subject, combined.” – Rodney Brown, Nerd Caliber

BOFCA REVIEW ROUNDUP: 6/9/2023

BLUE JEAN

“The film poses a nightmare situation that no one should ever have to navigate – though, thanks to anti-LGBTQ+ red state laws, too many people here and now in America are faced with dilemmas of the same sort.” – Kilian Melloy, EDGE Media Network

FLAMIN’ HOT

“Flamin’ Hot is a pleasant fable which should not be confused with a documentary.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

 

 

HOLLYWOOD DREAMS & NIGHTMARES: THE ROBERT ENGLUND STORY

“Englund seems to have mastered the skill his predecessor Boris Karloff had of being able to frighten audiences on the screen while becoming a beloved figure in real life.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

 

BROOKLYN 45

“It’s a horror movie for adults, particularly those who have left their youth far behind, and know what it is to wrestle with the demons of one’s past.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
