Athena4

Film Review – Athena

September 24th, 2022 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

When it comes to pure kinetic energy, few have matched the size and scope of Athena (2022). This is a propulsive, muscular film, exploding out of the gate with high octane action. Director Romain Gavras (who cowrites with Elias Belkeddar and Ladj Ly) has crafted a story that feels urgent in every…

Film Review – Blonde

September 15th, 2022 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

There are moments in Blonde (2022) where Ana de Armas so closely resembles Marilyn Monroe that I had trouble distinguishing between the two. She so fully inhabits the legendary star that it is uncanny. de Armas is the anchor of writer/director Andrew Dominik’s impressionistic biopic. Based on Joyce Carol Oates’ novel, the film…

Film Review – Confess, Fletch

September 15th, 2022 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

Rumors about the character Irwin ‘Fletch’ Fletcher returning to the big screen have swirled since Chevy Chase took on the role back in the 1980s.

Film Review – The Silent Twins

September 15th, 2022 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

The Silent Twins (2022) tells the true story of June and Jennifer Gibbons, twin sisters that – for reasons not entirely clear – refused to communicate with anyone except themselves. Together, they were playful, talkative, and creative spirits. But in the presence of others – even family members –…

Film Review – See How They Run

September 15th, 2022 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

See How They Run (2022) is a fun little murder mystery, even when it gets too clever for its own good. The “whodunnit” storyline is a tried and true premise. It allows for a large cast of characters to interact with their conflicting personalities. Of course,…

Film Review – Pinocchio (2022)

September 8th, 2022 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

When Walt Disney released Pinocchio (1940) as its second feature length animated film, it cemented both the man and the studio as cinematic titans. Not only did it prove that Snow White and the Seven Dwarves (1937) was not just a flash in the pan success, but that animation can…

Film Review – Honk for Jesus. Save Your Soul.

September 1st, 2022 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

Honk for Jesus. Save Your Soul. (2022) is a biting satire revolving around the culture of southern Baptist mega churches. On a wider scale, it examines the toxicity of power. The characters claim to be messengers of God but are the complete opposite. They are obsessed…

Film Review – I Came By

September 1st, 2022 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

I Came By (2022) is a suspense thriller filled with stops and starts. As soon as we get a sense of where things are going, the momentum halts in midstride and doubles back. One could argue that this is due to the narrative throwing us for…
