The film is slowed down by a darker, more lurid focus to its storytelling rather than one with any sort of sophisticated narrative or character development.

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”!

“Billion Dollar Babies: The True Story of the Cabbage Patch Kids”
A look at how masterful merchandising, American capitalism, and a homegrown idea came together in one perfect pop culture storm.
“100 Yards”
A dull and sorely boring martial arts movie with a lackluster story and disappointing lack of adventure.
“Close to Vermeer”
This documentary has given me the tools not only to see Vermeer’s works differently, but has fostered an appreciation and admiration of the artist that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
“The Delinquents”
With deadpan humor and an observational style that’s peppered with an existential twist, the film is surreal, awkward, and very, very strange.
“Mother, Couch”
A challenging film that’s more interested in setting an overall existential mood than presenting an engaging narrative.
