Ordinary Angels (2024)

3/5
“Ritchson enjoys a nice break from his breakthrough role as the titular Reacher. When Ritchson gets a look of grim resolution on his face, it’s usually a prelude to baroque bloodshed. Here he successfully modulates it to portray collapsing religious faith.” –

“If a horror movie is only as good as its monster, Sawtooth Jack lives up to expectations. Like Frankenstein’s monster, he’s hideous, but also weirdly poignant in his hideousness. This is solid Halloween fare.” –

3.5/5
“The good guy/bad guy duality — opposite sides of the same coin — has been done to death in past Batman movies. In this one, suffice it to say, it’s taken to startling heights.

“Under Hopper’s vision, the movie did capture a cultural shift from the hippie ethos of Easy Rider to punk rock’s feverish nihilism, represented by Linda Manz’s character, Cebe.” –
