This isn’t a thrilling, bloody revenge tale but rather a film that’s filled with quiet intensity and hushed fury that’s fueled by heartache and roles we are forced to play in life.

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”!

“The Space Between Us”
“The Space Between Us” amounts to nothing more than a tween angst soap opera whose gaping plot holes consume itself like a massive black hole.
“Fifty Shades Darker”
While this sequel to 2015’s “Fifty Shades of Grey” isn’t as god-awful as the original, it is still difficult to watch and review because of the film’s insistence on attempting to normalize and idealize a toxic, mentally unhealthy relationship.
“Fist Fight”
It’s “Three O’Clock High” but with teachers and a Millennial social media sensibility (#teacherfight).
“The LEGO Batman Movie”
Kids won’t like this movie and adults won’t like this movie. Just like the lead hero’s voice, this one is one big, long, boring monotone.
“Gold”
I appreciate McConaughey’s commitment to the material, but even he cannot save this sinking ship.
