Meet Me in St. Louis (1944) 99% “Underneath its sometimes frothy and often witty trappings, it’s a wistful meditation on the inevitable losses that accompany growing up and moving on.” – Miami Herald Nov 10, 2022 Full Review Hellbender (2021) 97% “Hellbender has wit, style and some awesomely gruesome special effects.” – Reason Online Feb 26, 2022 Full Review Dead & Beautiful (2021) 42% “Like most heavily metaphored shows, D&B is more about style than action or characters, and it eventually collapses from the strain of its own weighty symbolism.” – Reason Online Nov 5, 2021 Full Review I Trapped the Devil (2019) 71% “If you think of it as a film, you will scream for the sweet, blissful release of an axe buried in your head. But if you view it as a video version of the book The Idiot's Guide To 8mm Filmmakin, there are a number of useful lessons.” – Reason Online Jul 23, 2021 Full Review Lady Boss: The Jackie Collins Story (2021) 100% “If you're getting the idea that I think Lady Boss is 1) a lot of fun and 2) not to be taken too seriously, you're right. Like Collins' novels, it's best read -- err, watched -- at the beach, Tom Collins firmly in hand.” – Reason Online Jun 25, 2021 Full Review The Amusement Park (1975) 97% “Like Romero's zombie films, it's short on production costs, acting talent (the on-screen announcement that the cast is made up of volunteers is scarcely necessary), plot and just about everything else but ghastliness.” – Reason Online Jun 5, 2021 Full Review Friends: The Reunion (2021) 67% “Collectively, they look great for people you haven't seen in 17 years, but time marches on, even for the Jennifer Anistons of the world. Yet the appeal of Friends still rings clear after all these years, to multiple generations.” – Reason Online Jun 5, 2021 Full Review Lucy the Human Chimp (2021) 89% “The program inevitably raises some issues about human anthropomorphism and scientific indifference to animal welfare. But mostly it's a meditation on the difficulties attendant upon falling in love across species lines.” – Reason Online Apr 23, 2021 Full Review Tina (2021) 92% “Tina offers much more than a retread. No 온라인카지노추천 show or movie has ever put together a more torrid collection of clips of Tina on stage: whirling, spinning, leaping, frantically cavorting like Mick Jagger before Mick Jagger existed.” – Reason Online Mar 26, 2021 Full Review The United States vs. Billie Holiday (2021) 55% “As an actress, Day mostly smolders -- not inappropriately, given the script -- but as a vocalist she runs the gamut from playful to anguished as she performs the Holiday songbook... If only the rest of "Billie Holiday" could have lived up to her.” – Reason Online Mar 13, 2021 Full Review Effigy: Poison and the City (2019) 100% “Made by a team of rookies, it's an eccentric yet intriguing mix of murder, psychopathy, weird feminism and primitive police procedural.” – Reason Online Dec 18, 2020 Full Review My Psychedelic Love Story (2020) 90% “This is a wildly entertaining, if often incoherent, tale. Even when she is idiotic, amoral, or nearly indecipherable --which is pretty often -- Harcourt-Smith is a charming storyteller as she weaves the Leary story.” – Reason Online Nov 30, 2020 Full Review Exhumed: A History of Zombies (2020) “PBS unleashes a slavering pack of fanged academics on zombies, and the bloody brain cells and decapitated IQ points are scattered in all directions. Save yourself and stick to CBS' kidney-transplant sitcom.” – Reason Online Nov 5, 2020 Full Review Books of Blood (2020) 20% “A genuinely creepy collection of stories that collide as they snowball down a hill of murder, suicide, and ghosts, ultimately forming into something that you'll be sorry you watched when it's time to turn the lights out.” – Reason Online Oct 9, 2020 Full Review All the Way (2016) 85% “A pockmarked hodgepodge of a narrative that fails to provide the context that made Johnson's civil-rights efforts so stunning.” – Reason Online Oct 7, 2020 Full Review Centigrade (2020) 40% “IFC Midnight's immersion in survivalist tedium.” – Reason Online Aug 29, 2020 Full Review The Binge (2020) 23% “Isn't that bad, but certainly isn't that good, either.” – Reason Online Aug 29, 2020 Full Review The Sleepover (2020) 67% “The real strength of The Sleepover is the kids. Kevin and Clancy, played by Disney Channel regulars Maxwell Simkins and Sadie Stanley, are hilariously authentic.” – Reason Online Aug 21, 2020 Full Review Mr. Jones (2019) 86% “Director Holland tells this story in masterful style... Chalupa's script is effective -- she frames the issues efficiently and her characters are compelling -- but less accurate.” – Reason Online Jun 29, 2020 Full Review The Vast of Night (2019) 92% “If you're looking for a movie where people say things like "There's something in the sky!" and "I've seen good people go bad, and smart people go mad!", you're not likely to do better than The Vast of Night this summer.” – Reason Online Jun 12, 2020 Full Review The Wretched (2019) 74% “I've seen deer-gutting videos that made more sense.” – Reason Online May 1, 2020 Full Review The Apollo (2019) 96% “Everybody who was anybody in black show business played the Apollo. And now Oscar-winning filmmaker Roger Ross Williams has captured the excitement in an HBO documentary, The Apollo.” – Reason Online Nov 4, 2019 Full Review “Shadow of the Towers goes off the rails, turning from a credible, if not necessarily remarkable, reminiscence about a brutally painful day to simplistic immigration agitprop.” – Reason Online Sep 9, 2019 Full Review Untouchable (2019) 87% “If you want a crash course in Weinstein's thoroughgoing and possibly criminal loutishness, you couldn't possibly do better than this report from British television documentarian Ursula Macfarlane.” – Reason Online Sep 3, 2019 Full Review Hitsville: The Making of Motown (2019) 100% “Arguably one of the finest music documentaries ever produced.” – Reason Online Aug 26, 2019 Full Review
