JOKER: FOLIE A DEUX
“And if substituting dialogue for music is your plan, at least spread it thin or write original songs, it didn’t work for Moulin Rouge and it certainly didn’t work here.” – Byron McNeal, On The Reel On Tumblr
“Goebbels and the Führer is a disturbing film and is meant to be.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
THE WILD ROBOT
“Well written, animated brilliantly and slightly imperfect, just like Roz and that’s beautiful.” – Byron McNeal, On The Reel On Tumblr
MEGALOPOLIS
“So how cool is it that an 85-year-old Maverick, who has some of cinema’s most significant achievements on his resume (Godfathers 1 & 2, Apocalypse Now, and The Conversation), finds the balls to risk it all on a dream movie that maybe only he fully understands?” – John Black, Cinekong
SUPER/MAN: THE CHRISTOPHER REEVE STORY
“Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story may not focus as much on his movie career as some might like, but it does justice to his remarkable life.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
DEAD TEENAGERS
“After watching all three “Fresh Hell” movies, particularly Dead Teenagers, it’s clear that writer/director Armstrong is at the start of what promises to be a very interesting career.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
THE CRITIC
In the end, The Critic holds one’s attention even if it doesn’t achieve great art. If you’re willing to play along, though, it is damn good entertainment. – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE
“Michael Keaton slips back into the role of the titular character like an old pair of shoes. He’s still got it.” – Byron McNeal, On The Reel On Tumblr
REAGAN
“Reagan the movie is, I suppose, marginally better than Reagan the president, inasmuch as it has neither instituted economic policies which have crippled three generations and counting, nor caused through inaction the deaths of tens of thousands of Americans (though it is early yet in its theatrical run). It is still leagues away from what you or I might consider a ‘good movie,’ or even ‘a movie.’” – Oscar Goff, Boston Hassle
WOLVES AGAINST THE WORLD
“Wolves Against The World is not destined to become a horror classic, but it demonstrates an ambitious filmmaker with something to say who is making the most of the limited means at his disposal.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
