MOVIE REVIEWS
Now showing around town… maybe streaming.
Fresh Fruit
Somehow, Da Peng has made what might be the world’s first fruit thriller in The Lychee Road.
Good ‘Bad’ Movie
The Bad Guys 2 goes bad, but in a good way, and not in the way sequels go bad. Good.
Oh, Mickey
Bong Joon-ho still hates the rich, but he adds demagogues to the mix in Mickey 17.
Billion Dollar Baby
Well, there’s certainly more movie in Jiaozi’s billion-dollar grossing Ne Zha 2.
Still a Mystery
Despite alleged maverick Bob Dylan being the subject, A Complete Unknown is as average as it gets.
The Empire Strikes Again
Wuershan is two-for-two with Creation of the Gods Ii: Demon Force and damn, did he just promise zombies?
Very Vincible
Invincible Swordsman is indeed a movie, with, like, actors and stuff, and Zzzzz…
Mostly Bearable
Maybe the thin air got to the creatives behind Paddington in Peru and left them a touch lightheaded.
Best Intentions
If you've got a 10-year-old that needs a history lesson, White Bird: A Wonder Story is that lesson.
Superior Programming
Fire up Robot Dreams and The Iron Giant with The Wild Robot and have a perfect triple bill.
Ride or Die
Austin Butler certainly makes The Bikeriders look cool – or maybe it's the other way around.
‘Long’ Overdue
Sho Miyake delivers another thoughtful drama for adults about adults in All the Long Nights.
Family Business
For a first film with a huge shadow looming over it The Watchers isn’t bad. It’s just not great.
