  1. I'm not sure Sam Mendes' latest is a masterpiece as so many critics are exclaiming but it is very probably the most artful and earnest drama ever adapted from a comic book.

    A sweet and fresh comedy that was a joy to watch.
  2. I recommend the film wholeheartedly to lovers of weirdo cinema, for people who don’t expect films to follow a strict format, and for those who love the art of writing for film. The screenplay by Emigholz is a behemoth that somehow doesn’t crash, although it seems like it could at any given moment.
  3. The women both in front of and behind the camera work wonders in subverting genre expectations, but not in the hokey, pandering way that female-led blockbusters so often settle for.
  4. The greatest accomplishment of Occupation: Dreamland is showing those of us on the home front that it really is possible, Republican howling to the contrary aside, to support our troops without supporting the war itself.
  5. In the end, A Galaxy Far, Far Away shadows its parent films in that it's just good clean fun for the whole family.
  6. The Eyes of Ghana leans heavily into the inspirational part of the story, and that’s understandable. Hesse is an inspiring figure, still fighting to preserve his country’s culture, restore film, and teach the younger generation, even in his 90s. But the film goes a little too hard on this point by adding soaring music and minimizing some of the complexity.
  7. Manages to be impressively unsettling given the flaws in its foundation.
  8. If you are a lover of art, especially abstract art, you must see Beyond The Visible – Hilma af Klint. You’ll be blown away by af Klint’s genius and how ahead of her time she really was.

    It did a great job of giving chills and making me jump. It may not be the most original film out there, but which ones out there today are completely original anyways?
  9. Best of all, Robert Downey Jr., as Rick's seedy private eye provides a little comic relief at his own expense.
  10. This is an archival footage documentary that is essential viewing for anyone who is curious about the Phillips’s legacy, the Houston Oilers, and Houston culture in general of the 1970s.
  11. While I appreciate getting a cult classic a new coat of 4K to be mean for the stream in fine fashion, Caligula: The Ultimate Cut is not your grandpa’s Caligula.

    Schwimmer impresses with this film.
  12. Seahorse’s presentation, while intimate and well-pieced-together, comes off a bit flat, considering how truly lyrical and groundbreaking it could have been.
  13. Horror movies usually aim to scare, entertain, and teach us. Amulet mostly does all three. Very nicely done.
  14. An important, compelling story that had to be told.

    Goodbye, Petrushka is a heartfelt narrative and very much writer/director Nicola Rose’s story. It’s not a perfect film, but it’s a very personal one.
  15. Those seeking visceral thrills may be somewhat underwhelmed by Descendent, but the filmmaker firmly establishes himself as a descendant of the Benson/Moorhead cinematic lineage.
  16. I thoroughly enjoyed the street level perspective of the world being destroyed, it just would've been nice if they hadn't crapped out at the end.
  17. The narrative may prove a bit indeterminate and slow-moving to jaded audiences. Yet it remains an incisive and unusual little tale, which we could certainly use more of these days. That is something I personally think about all the time.
  18. Hairspray isn’t all that bad, frankly. The songs are catchy, most of the leads are engaging enough (Blonksy and Bynes especially), and there’s just enough low-key subversiveness to keep everything from getting too saccharine.
  19. Ashes in the Snow is a good, yet unsatisfying movie with the potential to have been so much better. The pace is too slow, and the characters’ arcs are predictable.
  20. See the true story of Sister Helen and her band of weary men now.
  21. Klondike plunges you into the midst of a nightmarish life, on the brink of utter and complete collapse, leaving you wrung and dry. Not a light weekend watch, then, nor a particularly original or subtle one – but artfully produced, deeply affecting cinema nevertheless.
  22. Too often, the movie follows up Adams’ chaotic humor with weak slapstick and the incongruous love story.

    As he proved with "The Bourne Identity," director Doug Liman can devise an enjoyable little action movie.

    Overall, however, for a children's film, it hits all the major notes. Keep it musical, keep it lively, keep it cute and, you know, if you can, slip in a moral.
    • 58 Metascore

    This film's twelve times better than anything else on offer at the moment.
  23. A good-natured comedy that, while not always funny, remains as sincere as The Book of Mormon. No, really, that is a massive compliment.
