MOVIE REVIEWS
Now showing around town… maybe streaming.
Could be Uglier
The Ugly has got to be one of the most frustrating films of the year so far.
Almost Across the Line
If ever there were a time to really just stick with the procedural stuff, it’s in Relay.
A Watery Grave
Third time is not the charm for Dante Lam’s ‘Operation’ series because Operation Hadal is a mess.
Crazy in Love
It’s a standard rom-com but hey, at least Pretty Crazy tries for a non-standard ending.
The Banishing
It appears to be the end of the road in The Conjuring: Last Rites, at least for TCCU on the big screen.
Which Way Out?
Exit 8, strangely, is not about getting lost in the Tokyo subway, a horror all its own.
Lost in the Woods
Haunted Mountains: The Yellow Taboo makes the urban legend shocker an official sub-genre.
Delusions of Romance
Celine Song has a whole ‘thing’, and if you like it, you’ll like Materialists.
Devil’s in the Details
If ever a movie were critic-proof, it’s Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle.
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.
