FFFA 2024 Review - The Last Stop in Yuma County
Galluppi’s mindfulness in crafting The Last Stop in Yuma County truly shows what outstanding stories can come from taking a leap in the dark.
Film Review - Love Lies Bleeding
Glass subverted my expectations repeatedly through her pairing of lesbians and gym bros, the supernatural creeping into the frame, and an unexpected experimental conclusion to the movie. Love Lies Bleeding is a bloody good thriller!
Film Review - Argylle
Everyone always asks who is Argylle, but they never ask how is Argylle? Kind of disappointing, if I'm being honest.
Film Review - Anatomy of a Fall
Painting a portrait of a marriage in decline, a child irrevocably changed, and a woman in freefall, Anatomy vivisects the ripple effect of its victim’s demise, familial wounds spilling open to reveal grisly entrails for all to see.
Film Review - The Killer
In a world obsessed with John Wick, as well as its various imitators, it seems rare that we get a film that shakes up the revenge genre.
Film Review - Killers of the Flower Moon
Killers of the Flower Moon is not only a landmark film for Scorsese as a filmmaker but also tells the story of a horrific time in American history, surrounded in shame and regret.
Film Review - Retribution
Few things in cinema are as certain as the Liam Neeson action movies released at least once or twice a year for the past decade and a half.
Film Review - A Haunting in Venice
Kenneth Branagh has given audiences a mixed bag with A Haunting in Venice. The film offers nothing new in terms of mystery or thrills, and wastes it’s strong ensemble cast, which is the real disappointment.
Film Review - Marlowe
You’d be hard-pressed to say that its intended audience of older, weekday-matinee filmgoers won’t be satisfied by watching a canonised movie star like Neeson doing his thing as a 1930’s detective. Just don’t expect to be wowed by its stunning execution or originality.
FFFA 2023 Review - Zillion
Zillion tells the story of the exhilarating rise and fall of visionary entrepreneur Frank Verstraeten, the man responsible for creating and owning – for a time – Belgium’s most chaotically electric nightclub.
Film Review - THE NIGHT OF THE 12TH
A policeman’s life is not for me. The frustration and tedium bleed through in The Night of the 12th and I’m convinced it’s not all it’s cracked up to be.
Film Review - Amsterdam
A star-studded cast, 1920s decor, bursts of comedy, and a film noir-inspired story come together to make David O. Russell’s new film an enjoyable romp that should be seen on the big screen.
Film Review - See How They Run
Like any great whodunnit, See How They Run is about the investigation rather than the reveal. And with two loveable investigators, a bunch of effortless jokes, and some engaging visual storytelling, it makes for a killer night at the theatre.
Monster Fest Weekender Film Review: Miami Connection
Unashamedly self-indulgent and barely cognizant of any sort of budgetary limitation […], Miami Connection is wicked fun for the midnight movie crowd that'll have you puzzling over how a movie like this even got made.
