MOVIE REVIEWS
Now showing around town… maybe streaming.
The Kids are Alright
Maybe don’t believe it all, but a great deal of Weapons’ hype is totally justified.
Fresh Fruit
Somehow, Da Peng has made what might be the world’s first fruit thriller in The Lychee Road.
Really Into Each Other
Together asks you to look at how close you’re sitting to your partner. Is this really necessary?
Good ‘Bad’ Movie
The Bad Guys 2 goes bad, but in a good way, and not in the way sequels go bad. Good.
Tangled Web
Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy is a B movie dressed up like a franchise tentpole.
Baby ‘Steps’
It’s far from fantastic but The Fantastic Four: First Steps has a hokey charm that’s something of a tonic right now.
Finding a Voice
Thinley Lhamo’s carefully modulated performance is reason enough to check out Nepali director Min Bahadur Bham’s Shambhala.
‘Animals’ Crackers
Dream Animals is better than any movie based on a cookie has a right to be.
Haute Fromage
Only in France could cheese play a crucial role in a coming-of-age film. Case in point: Holy Cow.
100% Locust-Free
More dinosaurs, fewer giant grasshoppers, zero Chris Pratt. Jurassic World Rebirth has a lot going for it.
Lateral Upgrade
No dancing, no hallways, not animalistic child murder. M3GAN 2.0 is an upgrade in length but not much else.
A Well-Oiled Machine
If you’re going to crank out formula, mix it right, like Joseph Kosinksi and Brad Pitt do in F1.
