Film Reviews
Panic Fest Film Review: “Oddity”
“Oddity” is all red meat as it will make you laugh, peek between your fingers, and keep you on the edge of your seat
Panic Fest Film Review: “Cannibal Mukbang”
“Cannibal Mukbang” has a near perfect list of ingredients, but only time will tell if it’s an acquired taste or a smorgasbord for all
Panic Fest Film Review: “Infested”
If you aren’t seeing “Infested” in a crowded dark theater, not only are you doing yourself a disservice, but you risk feeling the spiders on you as you watch one of the best horrors of the year at home
Panic Fest Film Review: “Boy Kills World”
“Boy Kills World” goes balls to wall with bone crunching kung-fu fighting, deranged, yet hilarious violence, and Looney Toons absurdism
Panic Fest Film Review: “Sting”
“Sting” isn’t perfect, nor is it great, but I admire that it seems like everyone knows they’re making a modern creature feature with chuckles and a cast that will put a smile on your face
Film Review: “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire”
Overall, “Godzilla x Kong” may be good to munch popcorn along to but that’s about it.
Film Review: “Monkey Man”
But squirm away because I can guarantee you this isn’t the last time you’ll see Patel behind the camera.
Panic Fest Film Review: “Azrael”
“Azrael” is more than a silent gimmick, it’s an experience you’ll never forget
Film Review: “Spaceman”
Overall, “Spaceman” has some pretty visual effects and a couple of extraordinarily good emotional moments that will pull at the heart strings. Yet, it’s still not enough to make the film more than something average.
Film Review: “Dune: Part Two”
Overall, “Dune: Part Two” is one of the greatest achievements in film this century and surely there will be plenty of anticipation for “Dune Messiah.”
Film Review: “Arthur the King”
With the Easter holidays approaching, “Arthur the King” is truly a film for the whole family.
Film Review #2: “Killers of the Flower Moon”
“Killers of the Flower Moon” is one of the most audacious, sprawling epics director Martin Scorsese has ever created.
Film Review: “Camp Pleasant Lake”
“Camp Pleasant Lake” barely tickles the funny bone and barely offers up anything remotely new or fresh
Film Review #2: “Bob Marley: One Love”
The highlights of “One Love” include Ben-Adir’s performance and, of course, its music.
Film Review #1 – “Bob Marley: One Love”
Thanks to the hard work of Ziggy Marley, “Bob Marley: One Love” is a loving and inspiring tribute to a man who left this world much too soon. But his music, and his message, lives on.
Film Review: “Zone of Interest”
“Zone of Interest” is actually so banal in discussing the banality of evil, it fails to deliver anything meaningful or even lasting
Film Review – “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom”
For someone who has been a fan of at least some of the DC movies, or the Zack Snyder universe, it is a bit sad to see the unfinished storylines come to an end.
Film Review – “Maestro”
On a positive note, the performances are excellent. Cooper channels Bernstein down to his voice patterns. Mulligan carries most of the emotional baggage of the film and never delivers a false note.
Film Review: “American Fiction”
“American Fiction” tells us that everyone, while living the same experiences, enjoying the same triumphs and enduring the same tragedies, all have a unique story to tell
Film Review: “Laced”
“Laced” has enough creativity to entertain you for 90 minutes and has the potential to chill you to the bone
Film Review: “Migration”
Like other ILLUMINATION films, these are characters you want to spend time with and, most importantly, want to succeed.
Film Review: “DICKS: The Musical”
A fun, hilarious comedy, “Dicks: The Musical” is best described as “a fun and raucous Parent Trap.” And that’s a good thing.
Film Review: “The Sacrifice Game”
“The Sacrifice Game” squeezes out of every drop of blood from her cast and every ounce of Christmas cheer from the ending exclamation point.
