1.5/4
“At 70, Chan remains spry and in great shape, but there’s no denying that awkward framing and Cuisinart editing and speed ramping and body doubles and painted-out wire work do serious heavy lifting...” –

Hundreds of Beavers (2022)

“The director needed to kill his darlings. It's a little too long, but by the end it has justified feature length, and it's funny and fun.” –

3/4
“Plays like a Daniel Clowes graphic novel come to life. Odd and a little difficult, but it demystifies sexual kink and its strength as a comedy is that it's willing to go there.” –

3.5/4
“She ostensibly plays a cinematic supervillain in The People’s Joker, but as the story of the film—and, finally, the film itself—reaches ever-wider audiences, Vera Drew has come into focus as a cinematic superhero...” –

Home (2008)

3.5/4
“Darkly funny, haunting, and perhaps hopeful...there's a keen sense of absurdism (and in Agns Godard's brilliant photography a sort of surrealist realism, if there is such a thing) in the circumstances. [Blu-ray]” –

3.5/4
“Despite his film having prestige written all over it, Nolan the theoretical cineaste has rewritten the rules of the prestige picture...[with] his epic reconstruction and deconstruction of the Manhattan Project and the man who organized it.” –

“It comes down to the extended climax to make or break Dead Reckoning...and happily, the finale delivers with what could be the most impressive train shenanigans since Buster Keaton's The General.” –

“This early slasher movie and somewhat Psycho rip-off is also an artful and unnerving gothic horror picture in its own right. [Blu-ray]” –

The Flash (2023)

“For all its flaws, The Flash proves strong on character where it counts as it serves up its MCU-style comedy, tragedy, and wow-factor visuals...In the final equation, the Scarlet Speedster gives us a largely enjoyable run for our summer-movie money.” –

“Not as hardcore as the in-your-face, bloody, gory, sweaty, dirty, puss-y, oozing, festering, nightmarish 1987 original, but still honors Clive Barker's concept with a stronger, more-interested-in-world-building narrative.” –
