CAFE SOCIETY
“It’s a strange picture. A melancholic dirge in the guise of a comic bauble, at once light as a feather and pitilessly sad, Café Society is Woody Allen’s best since Midnight In Paris. They’ll make a great double bill someday, both films interrogating a warm and fuzzy nostalgia that’s incredibly soothing and ultimately useless.” – WBUR’s The ARTery, 07/22/2016

HUNT FOR THE WILDERPEOPLE
“A boisterous outdoor adventure, nodding to influences from Up to The Blues Brothers while maintaining a distinctly funky vibe all its own. It has the stylized exaggerations and emotional directness of the best children’s literature. Everything is just a bit louder and more colorful than real life, but the feelings are straightforward and unadorned.” – North Shore Movies, 07/21/2016

INDEPENDENCE DAY: RESURGENCE
“An insanely crummy-looking picture. Minus any movie stars and skimping on production values, it’s the off-brand blockbuster equivalent of shopping at the Dollar Tree. At least ninety percent of this movie appears to have been shot in front a greenscreen. Everybody’s backlit in cheapo digital with a sickly, algae-colored pallor, actors melting into murky backgrounds.” – North Shore Movies, 06/24/2016
