    I don’t go out of my way to drag films, as there is so much time and effort put into every project, and a film of this caliber was likely made with the best of intentions. But intending to craft a pitch-black dark crime comedy is different from actually executing one well. And Riff Raff just doesn't land.

    Fangs Out is not great and hardly promising, but there is an admirable quality to it that you can’t help but embrace.

    Assassin Club has the benefit of starring a relatively well-known actor, but even Golding can't save this movie from its mediocrity. Any hope Assassin Club had of being good is squandered within the first ten minutes.

    Johnny & Clyde is a chaotic, unamusing mess.

    Taurus plays like a personal project, but that doesn’t make it good. However, Baker should take pride in knowing he has a future in acting; he just needs to pick better projects.

    This is a terribly unfunny venture, which fails at the film’s only job.

    The film is a basic thriller with little to offer audiences who enjoy the genre.

    Those who may be new to the genre or merely want to disengage for a little bit will find merit in Choose or Die. But for bona fide horror fans, the derivativeness and the flatness of the execution is too much to tolerate.

    Asking For It is a pop-rock take on the revenge thriller that tries to take a stance, but fails to make a case for why it exists. Asking For It often feels like a mansplaining version of what a modern revenge thriller should be.

    The lingering lesson in all of this is Megan Fox deserves better and Big Gold Brick is a solid turd of a movie.

    Dog
    The tonal imbalance and the mismanaged themes make for an extremely uncomfortable watch. However, Dog might find an audience, one that is not so bothered by the lack of depth, and who will tolerate the surface-level insight into the issues it barely touches upon.

    There could have been a lot to love about The King’s Daughter, but it seems the creative team simply did not know what to do with it.

    Borrego, written and directed by Jesse Harris, is misguided and fails to be thought-provoking or contemplative on the matters it seems to be about.

    Although the film's narrative is passable at best, it struggles to maintain any momentum due to uninteresting characters and predictably bad writing.

    First Date is a hodgepodge of familiar tropes and homages to teen romcoms and, while there is a sliver of promise, the film is lacking in charm.
