Rating: Not Rated Stars: Seo In-guk, Jang Dong-yoon, Park Ho-san, Jeong So-min, Go Chang-seok, Jang Young-nam, Son Jong-hak, Jung Moon-sung, Lee Sung-wook, Hong Ji-yoon, Sung Dong-il Writer: Kim Hongsun Director: Kim Hongsun Distributor: Well Go USA Entertainment Release Date: February 14, 2023 For those who worry about such things, PROJECT WOLF HUNTING is not about searching for wild canines. It also, as it turns out, is not really about extraditing forty-seven Korean accused criminals from the Philippines, where they have taken refuge, although that’s how the film starts out. Due to an earlier airport fiasco, the police in both nations […]Read On »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Brandon Victor Dixon, Naturi Naughton, Orlando Jones, Thomas Sadoski, Michael J. Harney, Amy Sloan, Jon Tenney, Kenneth Choi, Kelly McCreary, Amanda Seales, Jeremiah King, Anthony Lee Medina, Pegah Rashti, Brian Norris, Vinny Chhibber, Shellye Broughton, William Fichtner Writer: Eromose Director: Eromose Distributor: Samuel Goldwyn Films Release Date: February 17, 2023 88 manages to pack an enormous amount of ideas into its two-hour running time. The film is articulate and well-acted. However, like its protagonist, Femi Jackson (Brandon Victor Dixon), it doesn’t ultimately know what it ought to do with all it has on its hands. Femi […]Read On »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Natalia Solián, Alfonso Dosal, Mayra Batalla, Mercedes Hernández, Sonia Couoh, Aída López, Anahí Allué, Martha Claudia Moreno, Emilram Cossío Writers: Michelle Garza Cervera & Abia Castillo Director: Michelle Garza Cervera Distributor: XYZ Films Release Date: February 10, 2023 (theatrical); February 16, 2023 (VOD) HUESERA: THE BONE WOMAN is a movie good enough to maintain its ambiguity without either patronizing or frustrating the audience. The Spanish-language, Mexican/Peruvian-made HUESERA begins at the site of an enormous statue of the Virgin Mary, which towers over the nearby trees. This is a (real) shrine where worshippers come, singing the “Hail […]Read On »

Movie Review: ATTACHMENT (NATTEN HAR BJINE)

ATTACHMENT movie poster | ©2023 Shudder

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Josephine Park, Ellie Kendrick, Sofie Gråbøl, David Dencik Writer: Gabriel Bier Gislason Director: Gabriel Bier Gislason Distributor: Shudder Release Date: February 9, 2023 (Shudder) From movies like THE EXORCIST to THE CONJURING franchise to this week’s release CONSECRATION, Catholicism still gets the lion’s share of horror movie attention. However, with 2012’s THE POSSESSION, 2021’s THE VIGIL, and this year’s THE OFFERING, among others, Jewish lore is getting some screen time, too. ATTACHMENT (NATTEN HAR BJINE), directed and written by Gabriel Bier Gislason, is the newest entry in this horror subgenre. It’s a slow burn, but a […]Read On »

Movie Review: SWEETHEART

SWEETHEART movie poster | ©2023 Film Movement

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Nell Barlow, Jo Hartley, Ella-Rae Smith, Sophia Di Martino, Samuel Anderson, Tabitha Byron Writer: Marley Morrison Director: Marley Morrison Distributor: Film Movement Release Date: February 10, 2023 SWEETHEART is a generally credible if somewhat leisurely English coming-of-age story, directed and written by Marley Morrison. Plenty of people are miserable at age seventeen. A.J. (Nell Barlow) is one of them. She drops in bits of narration as SWEETHEART chronicles a seaside vacation at a “holiday park” where the accommodations are a series of lookalike mobile homes. A.J. is dragged along on to this destination by her mom […]Read On »

Movie Review: THE OUTWATERS

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Angela Basolis, Robbie Banfitch, Scott Schamell, Michelle May, Leslie Ann Banfitch Writer: Robbie Banfitch Director: Robbie Banfitch Distributor: Cinedigm Release Date: February 9, 2023 On the plus side, THE OUTWATERS is a celebration of the natural beauty of California’s deserts and hills. It has good cinematography by director/writer/actor Robbie Banfitch, and a solid folk-rock score. THE OUTWATERS begins with a frantic 911 call that abruptly cuts off. Title cards tell us that Mojave Desert police found camera memory cards on February 22, 2022, of footage evidently recorded in 2017. We then see the footage. Musician Scott […]Read On »

Grace (Jena Malone) informs us in voiceover that her brother used to believe she had a guardian angel, while she believed in nothing. Onscreen, Grace is taking a peaceful walk outside a park when she is confronted by a nun, in full white habit, who points a revolver at […]Read On »

Movie Review: SKINAMARINK

SKINAMARINK movie poster | ©2023 IFC Midnight/Shudder

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Lucas Paul, Dali Rose Tetreault, Ross Paul, Jaime Hill Writer: Kyle Edward Ball Director: Kyle Edward Ball Distributor: IFC Midnight/Shudder Release Date: January 13, 2023 (theatrical); February 2, 2023 (Shudder) Evaluating SKINAMARINK properly probably requires someone far better versed than this reviewer is in experimental cinema, and/or slow cinema. There is indeed a genre known as slow cinema, which is pretty much what it sounds like. There are static shots; there is repetition; plots are sketchy, if they exist at all. This is intentional, to put the viewer in a state where they can experience the […]Read On »

A LOT OF NOTHING movie poster | ©2023 RLJE

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Y’lan Noel, Cleopatra Coleman, Lex Scott Davis, Shamier Anderson, Justin Hartley Writers: Mo McRae and Sarah Kelly Kaplan Director: Mo McRae Distributor: RLJE Entertainment Release Date: February 3, 2023 A lot of nothing is, tragically, too often what happens when a police officer shoots a nonthreatening civilian. Black couple Vanessa (Cleopatra Coleman) and James (Y’lan Noel) are therefore determined to do something when they see broadcast news footage of their white police officer next-door neighbor Brian (Justin Hartley) that shows him shooting an unarmed youth. James urges Vanessa to post something on Facebook, but they get […]Read On »
