Wanted | Star Newspapers (Chicago, IL) | Michael Drakulich | Too ridiculous to be entertaining and too long to keep everyone's attention. If fate were only so virtuous as this film would have us believe. | 2/4 | 4 | 2 | 4 | false | 2 | 7 | 2 | 2,228 |
Bad Company | Star Newspapers (Chicago, IL) | Michael Drakulich | In this film we at least see a study in contrasts; the wide range of one actor, and the limited range of a comedian. | 2/4 | 4 | 2 | 4 | false | 2 | 7 | 2 | 2,228 |
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull | Star Newspapers (Chicago, IL) | Michael Drakulich | An iconic film character deserved a better story than this. | 2/4 | 4 | 2 | 4 | false | 2 | 7 | 2 | 2,228 |

Sex and the City | Star Newspapers (Chicago, IL) | Michael Drakulich | What does that say when a self-admitted narcissist receives such a following? In playing the victim card so often, Sarah Jessica Parker's character is one of the most unlikable characters I've seen in a long time. | 1.5/4 | 4 | 1.5 | 4 | false | 1 | 7 | 2 | 2,228 |

The Incredible Hulk | Star Newspapers (Chicago, IL) | Michael Drakulich | The Hulk is one of Marvel Comics more unsuccessfully developed superheroes.

You Don't Mess With the Zohan | Star Newspapers (Chicago, IL) | Michael Drakulich | Why does Adam Sandler continue to make these comedies that aren't funny? Because your neighbor's 13-year old kid keeps going to see them. | 1.5/4 | 4 | 1.5 | 4 | false | 1 | 7 | 2 | 2,228 |

B.A.P.S. | Star Newspapers (Chicago, IL) | Michael Drakulich | Apallingly bad. Robert Townsend's attempt at satirizing black culture is far off the mark. | 0/5 | 5 | 0 | 5 | true | 0 | 6 | 1 | 2,229 |
Enchanted April | Star Newspapers (Chicago, IL) | Michael Drakulich | Beautifully filmed and acted with a pleasant, wry sense of humor about it. Mirand Richardson shows why she is one of our greatest living actresses. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | true | 4 | 6 | 1 | 2,229 |
Guys and Dolls | Star Newspapers (Chicago, IL) | Michael Drakulich | Ya gotta love seeing the first glimpse of Don Corleone here. A fun screen adaptation if not musically sound. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | true | 4 | 6 | 1 | 2,229 |

300 | Starburst | Andrew Pollard | If you're looking to see the rich, deep imagery of 300 play out in the most beautiful, bone-crunching way possible, this 4K offering is absolutely a must-have. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 3 | 5 | 1 | 2,230 |
Acts of Vengeance | Starburst | John Townsend | Borrowing from all manner of similar films and television shows, Acts Of Vengeance fails to blend these elements into a cohesive narrative. | 5/5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | false | 4 | 5 | 1 | 2,230 |
Amulet | Starburst | Jack Bottomley | Amulet is a bold and impressive directorial debut. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 3 | 5 | 1 | 2,230 |
Aquaslash | Starburst | Martin Unsworth | It plays like an extended segment from a Final Destination film. Even at just over hour, the story is stretched thinner than the girls' bikini straps. | 2/5 | 5 | 2 | 5 | false | 1 | 5 | 1 | 2,230 |
Blood Fest | Starburst | Andrew Marshall | The frustrating thing about Blood Fest is that it can't seem to decide what kind of film it is. | 5/5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | false | 4 | 5 | 1 | 2,230 |
Centigrade | Starburst | Jorge Ignacio Castillo | Allegedly inspired by real events, Centigrade portrays some decidedly uncinematic aspects of the ordeal, like tedium, yet it doesn't go as far as to become unsavoury. | 2/5 | 5 | 2 | 5 | false | 1 | 5 | 1 | 2,230 |
Deep Blue Sea 3 | Starburst | Jack Bottomley | Great fun and infinitely superior to even some cinema-released shark flicks. Bonus points too, for co-starring a heroic shark called Sally! | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 3 | 5 | 1 | 2,230 |
Full Metal Jacket | Starburst | Andrew Pollard | A hard-hitting movie laced with moments of dark humour and brimming with social commentary, Full Metal Jacket is viewed as one of the all-time great war movie. | 5/5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | false | 4 | 5 | 1 | 2,230 |
Immortal | Starburst | Grant Kempster | Less a fully formed feature and more a curiosity for fans of the genre, Immortal is well executed despite what appears to be a low budget and does the best it can to squeeze everything it can out of the script and the cast. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 2 | 5 | 1 | 2,230 |
Kin | Starburst | Ryan Pollard | All these positives aren't enough to make this movie good, since it's let down by an incredibly dated story full of some of the most tired clichés, without even attempting to add something new or fresh to spice things up. | 5/5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | false | 4 | 5 | 1 | 2,230 |
Monstrous | Starburst | Joel Harley | Well-acted by its two stars and written with deliberation and pace (by Shields herself, no less), this is a thoughtful character study and a slowly unfolding mystery - a more serious version of Creep, but without all the found footage and peachfuzz. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 2 | 5 | 1 | 2,230 |
Nail in the Coffin: The Fall and Rise of Vampiro | Starburst | Chris Jackson | Engaging, thoughtful and heartfelt, Nail In The Coffin is a worthy examination of both a legendary figure in the wrestling world and the man behind it. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 3 | 5 | 1 | 2,230 |
Relic | Starburst | Jack Bottomley | Relic is a tormentingly emotional experience but come the gruesomely unexpected, unusual and shattering conclusion, you're left reeling by an ending that will stay with you long after and perhaps forever more. | 5/5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | false | 4 | 5 | 1 | 2,230 |
Rent-A-Pal | Starburst | Alan Boon | Rent-a-Pal is an understated gem, and deserves a huge audience for all its principals, dealing with a subject that is rarely touched upon by mainstream cinema. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 3 | 5 | 1 | 2,230 |
Seven Stages to Achieve Eternal Bliss | Starburst | Laura Griffiths | It's a morbid concept but so ridiculous, particularly in the film's final act, it works | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 3 | 5 | 1 | 2,230 |
She Dies Tomorrow | Starburst | Nick Spacek | She Dies Tomorrow aches with tension and possibility, and maintains that through to the last frame, refusing to let the viewer off with easy answers. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 3 | 5 | 1 | 2,230 |
Shirley | Starburst | Laura Potier | The essences of a psycho-sexual thriller, a feminist drama, and a supernatural horror are effectively blended together to create one fiercely subversive study of Shirley Jackson, with truly fantastic performances from Moss and Young. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 3 | 5 | 1 | 2,230 |
Sputnik | Starburst | Jonathan Edwards | Lacking in killer instinct, Sputnik is a competently put together film which could have benefited more from its deadly concept. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 2 | 5 | 1 | 2,230 |
The Dare | Starburst | Jacob Walker | The Dare just doesn't deliver satisfying enough answers to these questions. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 2 | 5 | 1 | 2,230 |
The Honeymoon Phase | Starburst | Martin Unsworth | The climactic reveal would have been enough a payoff without heightening the reality at that point. That said, it's a solidly entertaining film that highlights the darker side of relationships. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 2 | 5 | 1 | 2,230 |
The Other Lamb | Starburst | Joel Harley | This is provocative, disturbing, and deeply unsettling cinema... and all without a single jump scare or flamethrower in sight. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 3 | 5 | 1 | 2,230 |
The Owners | Starburst | Martin Unsworth | After showing great promise as a cat-and-mouse home invasion caper, the result is a tad muddled and a damp squib, but by no means a disaster. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 2 | 5 | 1 | 2,230 |
The Rental | Starburst | Jack Bottomley | Franco and Joe Swanberg's screenplay is a beautifully shot, Vacancy-like voyeurism thriller which drips into a tech-savvy slasher, and Franco's direction allows much of the drama to initially stem from real life tensions and friction among friends. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 3 | 5 | 1 | 2,230 |
The Silencing | Starburst | Joel Harley | It's desperately dull and predictable - down to the boring reveal at the end. It does moody and atmospheric well, but that will only take you so far. Ultimately, it's too muted for its own good. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 2 | 5 | 1 | 2,230 |
The Swerve | Starburst | Martin Unsworth | Although The Swerve isn't a traditional horror film, it is nevertheless deeply disturbing and will resonate with viewers, regardless of gender. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 3 | 5 | 1 | 2,230 |
Two Heads Creek | Starburst | Martin Unsworth | The satire of racist attitudes beats you around the head, but thanks to the blood-soaked climax, Two Heads Creek ends up being a crowd-pleasing beast. If nothing else, you'll have an appreciation of the music of Aussie legend Norman Rowe. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 2 | 5 | 1 | 2,230 |
Uncle Peckerhead | Starburst | Nick Spacek | There's a ton of heart in Uncle Peckerhead, thanks to the fact that the music sounds like a real band. It's catchy, kind of like a mix between the bouncy underground pop of Lemuria, mixed with Green Day's stadium punk rock. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 3 | 5 | 1 | 2,230 |
The Danish Girl | State.ie | Hilary A White | Every second in Hooper's film is arranged like a Vanity Fair shoot... Indeed, so overwrought are some moments that you may struggle to keep a straight face amid all the hamming and political worthiness. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 2 | 5 | 1 | 2,231 |
The Adjustment Bureau | Strange Horizons | Walter Chaw | it would be offensive if it weren't so clearly an object better pitied or ignored. It's a conversation-starter for idiots, God bless 'em. | 0.5/4 | 4 | 0.5 | 4 | true | 1 | 9 | 2 | 2,232 |

Le Petit Lieutenant | Stylus Magazine | Sky Hirschkron | So, it can't quite be said that [Xavier Beauvois] is bereft of novel, impressively lurid ideas for murders, because he's expressly against them, if we're to take Antoine's lust for intrigue as our own. | B | long_letter | null | null | false | 13 | 18 | 1 | 2,239 |

The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things | Stylus Magazine | Sky Hirschkron | [The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things] has a deceptively desultory structure where no moral system or 'new daddy' seems to hold much water upon introduction, but each accumulates ideas which make an atavistic reappearance at the most inopportune of tim | B+ | long_letter | null | null | false | 14 | 18 | 1 | 2,239 |
