The script is balanced by earnest performances and an engaging look into a culture that’s grossly underrepresented onscreen.

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”!

“Obit”
As far as newsroom docs go, this isn’t as intriguing as “Page One” but it still manages a lovely exploration of the true craft of writing and is a film that all journalism junkies should seek out.
“Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul”
Even if your kids are begging to go see it, save your money.
“King Arthur: Legend of the Sword”
There real problem with this one is its indifference. The movie is mostly just a lot of noise and a lot of style over substance, resulting in a whole lot of bored audiences.
“The Case for Christ”
At least atheists aren’t completely demonized or portrayed as mustache twirling villains in this one.
“Sleight”
Once in a while a film comes along that perfectly captures the spirit of what indie cinema should be. “Sleight” is a bold work of vibrant creativity, a solidly crafted film with a primal grittiness and an intimate, small scale story that’s also as clever as hell.
