With deeply moving and dynamic performances top to bottom, American Woman is a powerhouse of a film.
With sophisticated cinematography and aesthetics, The Strangers: Prey at Night and its moody semblance of survival preserves dread just enough to deserve its place in slasher cinema.
Not all the jokes in Fist Fight land, but the film still works surprisingly well as a satirical exploration of the American education system.
With little of the humor and spark that made the original a Christmas classic, Bad Santa 2 is a misconstrued disaster for all involved.
There is offense to be taken with the frame and exterior of physical bodies. Beauty, it has been said, is in the eye of the beholder. Yet, one can’t help but feel that, since the rise of feminism and the development of the male-gaze interpretation, almost all appreciation for the aesthetics of a given film has been entirely lost.
