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”!

“47 Meters Down: Uncaged”
The end result is mediocre, even for a mindless throwaway movie.
“The Farewell”
The clash of cultures and tug-of-war over familial connections to the past eventually comes down to one thing: it’s the time you spend with your family that really matters in the end.
“The Art of Self-Defense”
It’s alarming that “The Art of Self-Defense” isn’t as shocking as you’d think, which perhaps says it all.
“Angel Has Fallen”
This is a movie with an abundance of mediocrity, from the ludicrous plot to the hackish directing.
“Blinded by the Light”
This film feels fake, inauthentic, unoriginal, and doesn’t seem to come from a place of sincerity.
