A meditative study on the death of creativity, the bittersweet agony of memory and grief, and the need for connection, be it human or animal.

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.
Please share your own comments on our reviews. We encourage all forms of respectful debate. We are, after all, “Fanatical About Film”!

“Old”
Follows the typical pattern of a Shyamalan project: a good idea with slightly better than average storytelling that culminates in a finale reveal that’s an anticlimactic letdown.
“Escape Room: Tournament of Champions”
Do you really care if the cast and crew is turning in Oscar-worthy work, or do you just want to see somebody get sucked alive into a pit of quicksand?
“Black Widow”
Takes a character that’s not very interesting and tells her story in a way that makes us care.
“Food Club (Madklubben)”
If you’re seeking some encouragement in your own life, this could be just the movie you need.
“Queen Bees”
The real heart and soul of the film is Burstyn, who provides the ideal anchor for this charming story of friendship, love, and forgiveness.
