There are a couple of show-stopping action sequences, but fans should prepare to see a softer, gentler side of the original bad boys.

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”!

“Arctic”
Cerebral in its own way, with a purposely vague story that rewards the thoughtful viewer.
“Like a Boss”
A tolerable movie that is perfectly acceptable for a mindless girls’ night out; emphasis on the “mindless.”
“1917”
The showiness eases up as the emotional weight of the story unfolds, but it’s still hard not to get stuck on the challenges of the moviemaking rather than the characters that should be the focal point of the film.
“Portrait of a Lady on Fire”
An impeccably detailed, beautifully acted, refined drama with a strong feminist angle that’s as stirring as it is thought-provoking.
“Uncut Gems”
Sandler’s character is an irritating scumbag and while I guess that’s what he was going for in his performance, it’s shrill and unpleasant to spend time around this loser.
