It tries so hard to be progressive by flipping the script from horny teenage boys to horny teenage girls, but the gender-swapped spin still feels old and stale.

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”!

“A Quiet Place”
The biggest mistake you’ll make when watching “A Quiet Place” isn’t making a sound — it’s using logic to overanalyze the story.
“Ready Player One”
The legendary Steven Spielberg dishes out a liberal serving of memberberries piled-high atop a generic, hollow bowl.
“Flower”
“Flower” mixes teenage angst with bouts of (supposed) dark comedy that takes inherently risky material and nearly destroys it with utter implausibility.
DVD & Streaming: April
Our recommendations for what’s new for home viewing this month.
“The Death of Stalin”
I love political satire as much as anyone, but this film is insufferable with its back-slapping, elitist brand of supposed “humor.”
