Film Review – A Sun

January 29th, 2020 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

The Taiwanese film, A Sun (2019) made the festival rounds last year and just hit Netflix for a wider audience. Directed and co-written by Mong-Hong Chung (along with Yaosheng Chang), this is an emotionally devastating story of family, regret, tragedy, and reconciliation. There is a…

Film Review – The Gentlemen

January 24th, 2020 | POSTED BY Sarah Ksiazek

Guy Ritchie is a prolific screenwriter and director. He has a style that is unmistakably original in some of his films. Surprisingly (at least for me), the recent live-action Aladdin (2019) is also one of his films. Ritchie is not afraid to take chances and divert…

Film Review – Church & State

January 21st, 2020 | POSTED BY Benjamin Rendall

Church & State has its heart in the right place but it takes on too many personalities, which causes it to lack a central focus. Mark Lawrence, an older gay man with no history of activism, starts Restore Our Humanity to oppose Article 3 that…

Film Review – Troop Zero

January 21st, 2020 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

Troop Zero (2020) is so sugary sweet that it should come with a health warning. There are moments where the sentimentality is so abundant that Steven Spielberg may think to himself, “Ok, this might be too much.” But beneath the cutesy exterior lies a message…

January 17th, 2020 | POSTED BY Sarah Ksiazek

Following a long break from Bad Boys II in 2003, Will Smith and Martin Lawrence are back as Detective Mike Lowery and Detective Marcus Burnett of the Miami Police Department. Both characters are striving to be Bad Boys for Life. Well, Mike strives more for this moniker…

Film Review – Dolittle (2020)

January 16th, 2020 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

Dolittle (2020) is the kind of middle-of-the-road film that is frustrating to write about. On one hand, it’s not remarkable enough to jump over the moon and sing its praises. On the other, it’s just competent enough to provide some level of entertainment. It’s the…

Film Review – Underwater (Second Take)

January 11th, 2020 | POSTED BY Sarah Ksiazek

January is usually the month that film studios drop their supposed film duds. When a film has a January release date, the eyebrows go up.  Underwater completed filming in 2017. It is possible that 20th Century Fox’s sale to Disney had something to do with the delay. Regardless…

Film Review – Underwater

January 9th, 2020 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

It’s rare for a film to start at the beginning of the second act. Normally, we are given some introductory scenes where we learn a little bit about our characters and their relationships. This is meant as a set up so that we understand what…
