MOVIE REVIEWS
Now showing around town… maybe streaming.
No Hard Anything
If raunchy is what you’re looking for, No Hard Feelings isn’t even close to dirty.
Cheesy ‘Rider’
Shin Kamen Rider, Shin Masked Rider, whatever the title, it’s the least of Hideaki Anno’s Shin Trilogy.
Maximum French
Do you actually think Both Sides of the Blade’s love triangle, as interpreted by Claire Denis, will be simple?
Oh, ‘Father’
Robert De Niro must have enjoyed that de-aging because he’s dumped grandpas for About My Father.
Flash & Dash
Troubled star. Massive budget. Boardroom stupidty. Must be DC’s latest drama. The Flash is… Okay!
Caught in a Web
Bigger, longer and cut to within an inch of its life, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is literally half a movie.
Another ‘Round’
Tape up your ribcage. Ma Dong-seok punches his way through the latest in the burgeoning franchise in The Roundup: No Way Out.
The Music Man
The documentary Ennio isn’t big on insight into the man that’s created defining film moments, but it sure does sound good.
Lights Out
One of Stephen King’s bazillion short stories, The Boogeyman, gets a creepy adaptation, perfect for hot summer nights.
Press Pass
It’s no Spotlight, but Wang Jing’s The Best Is Yet to Come is more journalistic than it has a right to be.
The Dusty Trail
With The Covenant Guy Ritchie heads to a war zone for his first non-urban thriller. Yes, Guy!
‘Day’ Gone By
Proving good things come in small packages, Day Off is a little slice of nuthin’ that’s surprisingly effective.
Anti-‘Social’
For an idea of what Social Distancing is about, refer to the Chinese title. Just don’t expect much.
