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”!

“3 From Hell”
In terms of shocking violence, there is still plenty to satisfy fans of gore. Sadly, though, there isn’t much else here to appreciate.
“Hustlers”
Just because a movie is female-centric and features a diverse cast doesn’t make it a masterpiece, but “Hustlers” is a pretty damn good feminist-angled critique of American capitalism.
“Ad Astra”
Highly intelligent and melancholy science fiction that will leave a lasting impression on those who can appreciate its sadness and beauty.
“Luce”
It’s horrifying in a way, because you have to keep guessing if Luce is a saint or a monster — and you will likely be wrong.
“The Peanut Butter Falcon”
The film flows with an independent spirit that’s smart and actually treats the audience like intellectuals.
