Carmen
(2022)
|
Julian Lytle
|
Carmen feels like an interpolation of the classic Opera. While it’s not wholly successful in everything it does, this new modern American Carmen does succeed in making an engaging film-watching experience.

Peter Pan & Wendy
(2023)
|
Julian Lytle
|
Peter Pan and Wendy is purposefully crafted with care and thoughtfulness, and while it succeeds in expanding the ideas of Wendy, Hook, and Tiger Lily, it’s at the cost of the character of Peter Pan.

Polite Society
(2023)
|
Julian Lytle
|
Polite Society is a fun and playful homage to 70s martial arts film that also mixes in Jane Austin-style romance and early 2000s teen comedies. The core sister relationship of Ria and Lena ties this fun remix of styles together to make a great experience.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie
(2023)

Julian Lytle

I think this movie does well by making a fun and coherent story with heart and feels like a celebration of the franchise by tying as much of the many facets of the franchise all together in a banger of the animated film.

Haywire is a good revenge film. This is a nice little Soderbergh snack for his fans until his next big time release. Gina Carano is pretty good in this and shows a nice sexiness and toughness that you don't see much on the big screen.

See the thing with Red Tails is that it really isn't that great of the movie. So if you go unless you don't have a decent standard of movie taste you most likely won't like and will be left wanting more.

In the end The Devil Inside is another in a long line of films trying recapture the original magic of the Exorcist. The mixing of this with found footage style of inexpensive movie making along with poor overall execution leads to an overall fail.

For the most part this film is very manipulative with how it's trying to tug at your feelings. Most are going to call this one of the best films of the season or year but while this picture is executed superbly it's not really earned its heart one bit.
