I think a good measure of a comedy is calculated by how many times it can make me laugh divided by the number of attempts. The majority of the jokes here made me giggle, and some made me roar. I laughed. And I laughed a lot.

FANATICAL ABOUT FILM!
Movies are our religion and the theater our church. Our gods are named Tarantino, Anderson and Scorsese.
We attend services 3-4 times a week and take our communion in the form of soda and popcorn. We offer up these reviews in hopes of pleasing our deities.
We are a married couple and we are both passionate about movies, and we hope you’ll find it interesting to read our “he said, she said” viewpoints. Oftentimes we agree but, as evidenced by many a late night discussion shared among film fans, it’s more fun when we don’t.
Please share your own comments on our reviews. We encourage all forms of respectful debate. We are, after all, “Fanatical About Film”!

“I Feel Pretty”
Here is a comedy with something meaningful to say, a film that asks us all to stop being our own worst critics, to stop hating our real and imagined flaws, and to be kind to each other.
“Tomb Raider”
I love the idea of a strong female driven action / adventure series and Vikander is a fantastic choice to play Lara, but this uninspired origin story swiftly wears thin and settles itself into a long loop of repetition.
“Truth or Dare”
It’s spring, and that means it’s time for a new teen-friendly, concept-based horror film from producer extraordinaire Jason Blum.
“Chappaquiddick”
There are critical questions raised that are never answered, making “Chappaquiddick” a suspenseful and compelling (if convenient) blur of fact and fiction.
“Beirut”
“Beirut” feels like a throwback to old school political thrillers of the past and delivers little fresh or trendy by way of its story line.
