Fantastic Fest 2021: KNOCKING
By Liz Lopez Rating: B The Swedish film Knocking started its festival run at Sundance early this year and continued to multiple film festivals internationally before arriving at Fantastic Fest. I found the film very intriguing, despite having viewed stories that feature a woman who is trying very hard to have people believe her about… Continue reading Fantastic Fest 2021: KNOCKING
HALLOWEEN KILLS
By Laurie Coker Rating: C- Jamie Lee Curtis still draws viewers and apparently, the makers of ‘Halloween Kills’ know it. They tout her as the star of the latest in the Michael Myers slasher saga and yet, she has fewer than fifteen minutes of screen time. Co-writer/director David Gordon Green, along with Danny McBride and… Continue reading HALLOWEEN KILLS

HALLOWEEN KILLS
By Mark Saldana Rating: 3 (Out of 4 Stars) The Halloween slasher saga continues, and does so with an interesting, but not as solidly conceived sequel as the previous installment.

THE LAST DUEL
By Mark Saldana Rating: 3.5 (Out of 4 Stars) Ridley Scott’s newest movie tells a compelling true story that takes place in 14th century France, but certainly has some relevance in the modern world, as it deals with the repercussions of sexual assault. In this era, when men are being held more accountable for misogyny… Continue reading THE LAST DUEL
SURVIVE THE GAME
By Liz Lopez Rating: C+ Directed by James Cullen Bressack and written by Ross Peacock, this action crime thriller is ambitious in its efforts to tell another story about the law enforcement efforts to pull off a drug bust. The intention is there, but the script really lacks anything new that hasn’t been done in… Continue reading SURVIVE THE GAME
MADRES
By Liz Lopez Rating: B+ When I first saw the trailer for the Welcome to the Blumhouse film Madres, I had an idea of what the story would include when Diana (Ariana Guerra, Five Feet Apart, Dumplin’) discovers items from the previous residents of the home on the ranch where she and her husband Beto… Continue reading MADRES
