I don’t want to hear any of that “but it’s a slow burn!” talk: if a movie is unhurried to the point it’s no longer entertaining, then it’s not a success.

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”!

“The Pope’s Exorcist”
The type of religious horror film that should be forgettable but isn’t, thanks to an engaging performance from Russell Crowe and a strong story that overdelivers on what it promises.
“Blue Hour: The Disappearance of Nick Brandreth”
A faux true crime documentary that feels real until the story grows into an overly complicated, bizarre mess about time travel and the occult.
“The Bigfoot Trap”
This tightly-edited thriller about a man locked in a Bigfoot trap is entertaining, intense, and has script with a surprising amount of depth.
“Guy Ritchie’s The Covenant”
A deeply meaningful and touching story of honor and brotherhood that’s wrapped up in an intense wartime thriller.
“Renfield”
The real horror of it all is the way director Chris McKay blows what should have been a slam-dunk premise.
