Film Review – Tom and Jerry

March 1st, 2021 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

I am of the firm belief that to appreciate great films, one must watch and appreciate the bad ones. It’s a delicate balancing act – how can one truly understand what makes a movie good without understanding what makes them terrible? Admittedly, this a bit…

Film Review – I Care a Lot

February 22nd, 2021 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

It’s a nasty scheme. A doctor – under dubious circumstances – picks out one of their patients. They make sure the patient is financially secure, has little to no acquaintances, and are elderly but healthy enough to stick around for the near future. The doctor…

Film Review – Judas & the Black Messiah

February 16th, 2021 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

There are two stories running through Judas and the Black Messiah (2021). The first is the “Black Messiah,” Fred Hampton, the slain chairman of the Illinois chapter of the Black Panther Party. Hampton was a charismatic and powerful figure in the 1960s, able to bring people together…

Film Review – Saint Maud

February 12th, 2021 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

Saint Maud (2021) is the kind of horror film that crawls underneath your skin and sends shivers down your spine. It doesn’t just startle us with jump scares and gore (although there is plenty of that), it also delves into the psychological aspects of its characters.…

Film Review – Malcolm & Marie

February 10th, 2021 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

Malcolm & Marie (2021) is a relationship drama that features a troubled couple hashing out their problems while questioning whether they should be together. It is tender, explosive, sexy, messy, indulgent, and everything in between. Maybe that’s what writer/director Sam Levinson was going for. Relationships are…

Film Review – The Little Things

February 2nd, 2021 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

The Little Things (2021) feels like it belongs to a bygone era. It’s influenced by the mystery/thrillers of the 90s and 2000s, such as Kiss the Girls (1997) or Along Came a Spider (2001). Denzel Washington – who stars here – had his hand in the genre too, with Fallen (1998) and The…

Film Review – The White Tiger

January 29th, 2021 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

Writer/director Ramin Bahrani’s The White Tiger (2021) is a pitch-black look at the harsh economic divisions of Indian society. It starts off as a dark comedy – a satire lampooning the caste system that prevents many from rising above their class standing. But as the story unfolds,…

Film Review – Locked Down

January 27th, 2021 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

As the Covid pandemic rages on, we find more and more films falling into a specific subgenre detailing how the disease has upended our normal way of living. Most of these stories feature characters staying at home and interacting with others through Zoom or Skype…
