“Obsession”

By Brett_G on

7.4

Instead of going to therapy, just measure how much of this film you personally identify with… it’ll give you a great sense of clarity. A “be careful what you wish for” scenario for the ages. Phenomenal performances from beginning to end. If you’re anything like me, you’ll be genuinely disturbed from the first frame to the last. So much creativity in the scares. It earns every laugh and every bead of sweat as the plot devolves further and further into madness. I was engrossed in every single scene of this… highly recommend!

“The Sheep Detectives”

By Brett_G on

8.1

I’ll go as far as to say this is one of the best films of the year. It has everything. I laughed, I cried, I was on the edge of my seat most of the runtime… all of it completely unexpected. One of those delightful surprises chancing cinematic art on the big screen every week. A wonderfully warm tale of intrigue and a masterfully executed whodunnit. Take a chance on the live action sheep murder mystery movie – you won’t regret it!

“Backrooms”

In one word? Aesthetic.

It took me a solid 48 hours to fully process just what the hell I witnessed during this 2 hours in the theater. I still wasn’t entirely sure, and may never be fully certain.

AS the liminal space envelopes you, each frame comes alive with clues in every pixel, every micro expression on the faces of the cast. Prepare to have your mind blown, and leave with a sense of bewilderment. The second and third acts will either fill you with love or hatred – there really is no in between. I fell into the former, having been looking forward to this one for months now. A refreshing time enjoying originality!

“The Devil Wears Prada 2”

7.6

For some reason, this reminded me of the “Entourage” movie. Pure nostalgia and akin to visiting old friends for a good hang. Everyone hitting their best notes in the harmony perfectly and effortlessly exuding grace that most movies dream of. The perfect amount of sappy paired with just the right amount of sass. Here’s hoping they keep the sequels to a once in a generation thing to avoid cheapening our favorite cinematic luxury brand.

“Michael”

Ugh… this is everything wrong with biopics. Nothing new, and an runtime fit for a miniseries. I loved every bit of the music, and it has its moments, but this one ultimately falls flat in that it plays it safe at every turn, blending into its genre in a way that should be offensive to fans of the king of pop. The man deserves a much more interesting biopic!
