Ejecta movie review: ech file

Fri, Feb 27, 2015

Quite possibly an alien torture device designed to turn our brains to mush. *sob*

Catch Me Daddy movie review: nowhere to run

Fri, Feb 27, 2015
16 comments

A lurid meatgrinder of a movie in which the young-woman protagonist is reduced to a passive object of male rage, greed, and possessiveness.

A Dark Reflection movie rating: red light

Fri, Feb 27, 2015

Would-be conspiracy thriller undermines its own noble intent with its amateurism and dull, plodding earnestness.

It Follows movie review: sexually transmitted dread

Fri, Feb 27, 2015
363 comments

Wait. Really? Horror movies are still doing the punishing-girls-for-having-sex thing? Ah, but this is 80s retro, so it’s “okay,” then.

The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel movie review: return visit

Thu, Feb 26, 2015
5 comments

There’s not much of a story, just a chance to spend more time with the gang of classy sexy randy oldsters. And that’s just fine.

Focus movie review: con inartistry

Thu, Feb 26, 2015

Unpleasant, humor free, and contrary to accepted codes of movie morality. And that’s before it shows its hand as a pile of implausible sentimental mush.

Wed, Feb 25, 2015

Reaches beyond ordinary laughable movie nonsense to create a moment — only one, alas — that will reign in the annals of cheesy cinematic history.

Maps to the Stars movie review: kill it with fire

Mon, Feb 23, 2015

Quite hilarious in a deeply disturbing way that you won’t want to look straight on at, lest it forever ruin you as a lover of movies.

Drunktown’s Finest movie review: native voices

Fri, Feb 20, 2015
no comments yet

Infuses a familiar tale of small-town life and youthful disaffection with a crisp sense of hope teased out of Navajo tradition.

The Wedding Ringer movie review: manfriendwhore for sale

Fri, Feb 20, 2015
17 comments

A festering pile of fatphobic, homophobic, sexist, grossout garbage in which men are manipulative liars but women are worse.
