MOVIE REVIEWS
Now showing around town… maybe streaming.
I Mos Def Prefer
If this were the 2010, Maggie Gyllenhaal’s The Bride! would rate a hearty "Yass Queen!”
More Like Intermediate
Yeah, yeah, it’s trying hard to be Heat, but you could say Heat tried hard to be Rififi. Crime 101 is a fun ride.
Literally Toxic
Not sure what it means if date night is Wuthering Heights, but hey. Whatever works.
Breaking the Cycle
At least Kenichiro Akimoto figured out who the real star is in the trippy All You Need Is Kill.
All Squawk
Benedict Cumberbatch stands out with normal skin in so-so semi-horror novel adaptation, The Thing with Feathers.
More of a Duke
Animated Jesus origin story The King of Kings has a very specific market and not enough creativity to attract anyone else.
Almost Campy Enough
A bit more camp and less Sydney Sweeney being toted around like a knapsack and The Housemaid could be a kinky pleasure.
Who Needs Plot?
Sho Miyake’s quiet, spare, thoughtful Two Seasons, Two Strangers proves he’s one of Japan’s best right now.
Good Enough
Wicked: For Good may not be the surprising jolt that Wicked was, but it’s got its moments.
It’s Right There in the Title
Regretting You is precisely what you’d expect from the author of It Ends With Us.
Pro’s ‘Choice’
No Other Choice proves Park Chan-wook’s almost as pissed off with late stage capitalism as Bong Joon-ho is.
‘Battle’ Ready
Put simply One Battle After Another is great shit and deserves every inch of its IMAX space.
Fresh Fruit
Somehow, Da Peng has made what might be the world’s first fruit thriller in The Lychee Road.
