DARK PHOENIXDARKPHOENIX

“A poorly made film telling a bad story that we’ve already seen told badly once before.” – Bob Chipman, The Escapist

“I started wondering why I decided to even give this movie a chance.” – Jaskee Hickman, Cinematic Essential

“…while it may not rank with the very best in the series neither is it just going through the motions.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

THE SECRET LIFE OF PETS 2SECRET PETS 2

“An awfully cute way to watch a menagerie of animals being adorable on screen.” – Deirdre Crimmins, HighDefDigest

“…  a fun entry for the younger set that may fall short of the original but manages to work on its own.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

 

CHASING THE DRAGON II: WILD WILD BUNCHCHASING DRAGON II

 

“The fact that CHASING THE DRAGON II doesn’t waste too much time on all the stuff we’ve already seen before kept me in the movie.” – Jaskee Hickman, Cinematic Essential

 

 

THIS ONES FOR THE LADIESTHIS ONE’S FOR THE LADIES

“nowhere is there a sense that the male gaze is not welcome — but when it comes down to it, just as the title tells us, this one is indeed for the ladies.” – Killian Melloy, EDGE Boston
