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”!

“Infinitely Dense”
A cerebral, character-driven thriller that uses science fiction to explore the desperate human desire to escape reality.
“Last Train to Fortune”
Rough around the edges and uneven in spots, this modest Western stumbles with its pacing and humor, but its easygoing charm and genuine heart make it enjoyable enough.
“Black Zombie”
A fascinating look at the Haitian Revolution that completely reframes the zombie myth, turning horror history into an act of reclamation.
“How to Live on Earth”
It’s a bit dry, but I’ll take this kind of optimism over another two hours of climate catastrophe any day.
“A Good Little Soldier”
Bleak, biting, and darkly funny, the film turns workplace cynicism into an all-too-familiar joke, as those trying to humanize work may be trapped in the very machine they’re meant to fix.
