Here are review links for this film submitted by our members: Matt Donato @ We Got This Covered Excerpt: Bushwick sets New York City ablaze but never tells us why, leaving viewers with nothing but street violence and an empty hopelessness. Jared Mobarak @ JaredMobarak.com Excerpt: Bushwick strives to capitalize on the adrenaline rush aesthetic of a videogame, masking its numerous cuts with distracting close-ups and pans to transport us from one sequence to the next as though we’ve never left. It’s an admirable attempt, but one that doesn’t wholly work as far as adding anything to what’s already a pretty […]

Here are review links for this film submitted by our members: Matt Donato @ We Got This Covered Excerpt: Watching xXx: Return Of Xander Cage mimics the effect of mainlining a Red Bull/Jolt Cola concoction while you skydive off the Empire State Building with only a handkerchief for a parachute. Charlie Juhl @ Citizen Charlie Nguyen Le @ The Script Lab Excerpt: … not nearly as “dope” as it thinks it is.  Brent McKnight @ The Last Thing I See Excerpt: Nonsense garbage, but the most entertaining nonsense garbage I’ve witnessed in years. Darren Mooney @ the m0vie blog Kristy Puchko […]

Here are review links for this film submitted by our members: Francisco Cangiano @ CineXpress [Spanish] Matt Donato @ We Got This Covered Excerpt: Wonder Woman has long been a character for little girls to idolize, but Patty Jenkins’ smashing success grants a forceful push towards gender equilibrium in the superhero movie world. JD Duran @ insessionfilm.com James Jay Edwards @ FilmFracture Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews Charlie Juhl @ Citizen Charlie Mark Leeper @ Mark Leeper Excerpt: The script by is unusually introspective Wesley Lovell @ Cinema Sight Brent McKnight @ The Last Thing I See Excerpt: Wonder […]

Here are review links for this film submitted by our members: Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat @ Spirituality & Practice Excerpt: Powerful crime thriller with fresh insights into grief and how to be a good steward of one’s pain. Charlie Juhl @ Citizen Charlie Nguyen Le @ InSession Film Excerpt: Sheridan’s work cinematically addresses one of the coldest crimes to have ever been committed (and is still happening) on this star-spangled soil. Brent McKnight @ The Last Thing I See Excerpt: A taut, cold mystery. Simon Miraudo @ Student Edge Jared Mobarak @ JaredMobarak.com Excerpt: Sheridan isn’t one to pull […]

Here are review links for this film submitted by our members: Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat @ Spirituality & Practice Excerpt: The third in a series of sci-fi epics that surges with an unflinching focus on spiritual matters. Francisco Cangiano @ CineXpress [Spanish] Matt Donato @ We Got This Covered Excerpt: While War for the Planet of the Apes’s third act is a bit hairy, the sequel helps cement the franchise as one of the more exciting mainstream properties worth watching. Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews Nguyen Le @ InSession Film Excerpt: As simians and Homo sapiens touch base with […]

Here are review links for this film submitted by our members: Francisco Cangiano @ CineXpress [Spanish] Matt Donato @ We Got This Covered Excerpt: Valerian And The City Of A Thousand Planets is a fantasy adventure that’s nowhere near as adventurous or fantastical as it should be. Unless starbursts and Cara Delevingne sticking her head up a memory-reading jellyfish’s butt is enough to impress? Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews Charlie Juhl @ Citizen Charlie Nguyen Le @ The Critical Critics Excerpt: Or pop in “The Fifth Element” again. Wesley Lovell @ Cinema Sight Brent McKnight @ The Last Thing I […]

Here are review links for this film submitted by our members: Francisco Cangiano @ CineXpress [Spanish] Matt Donato @ We Got This Covered Excerpt: Cut out every scene that doesn’t involve Cogman and Anthony Hopkins. That’s the only way I’d even watch the opening credits of Transformers: The Last Knight again. Nguyen Le @ InSession Film Excerpt: Also, what is aspect ratio, anyway? – the film asks. Brent McKnight @ The Last Thing I See Excerpt: The cinematic equivalent of a crowd chanting “U-S-A, U-S-A!” Jared Mobarak @ BuffaloVibe Excerpt: Fact: Transformers: The Last Knight is its franchise’s most entertaining entry. […]

Here are review links for this film submitted by our members: Matt Donato @ We Got This Covered Excerpt: Tragedy Girls is a wicked, womanly triumph. Hearts and smiley faces float from smartphones not only to reflect social media interactions, but to mirror our own approval of Tyler MacIntyre’s suburban gorefest. James Jay Edwards @ FilmFracture Brent McKnight @ The Last Thing I See Excerpt: Biting, wicked, and deceptively earnest. Jared Mobarak @ The Film Stage Excerpt: The whole becomes a wide-open venue for heightened caricatures and homage with enough Valley Girl snark and reality-TV charisma to let a few […]

Here are review links for this film submitted by our members: Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat @ Spirituality & Practice Excerpt: One of the best films of the year with its sturdy depiction of the grace that accompanies turning an enemy into a friend. Francisco Cangiano @ CineXpress [Spanish] James Jay Edwards @ FilmFracture Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews Charlie Juhl @ Citizen Charlie Wesley Lovell @ Cinema Sight Brent McKnight @ The Last Thing I See Excerpt: Brutally flawed and devastatingly human. Simon Miraudo @ Student Edge Jared Mobarak @ BuffaloVibe Excerpt: McDonagh draws the authentic, angry response […]

Here are review links for this film submitted by our members: Francisco Cangiano @ CineXpress [Spanish] Matt Donato @ We Got This Covered Excerpt: Thor: Ragnarok may be a better comedy than epic action adventure, but it certainly makes us fall even more in love with the “Cosmic Marvel” universe. Because, you know, “Jeff Goldblum in a golden space robe.” Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews Charlie Juhl @ Citizen Charlie Nguyen Le @ InSession Film Excerpt: … everyone is having absolute fun bouncing off each other that nearly nothing matters. Wesley Lovell @ Cinema Sight Simon Miraudo @ Student […]
