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”!

Sundance Review: “Free and Easy”
It’s not often that American audiences have the ability to view an artistic work simmering with such discontent and restless revolution from a country like China, and that’s part of what makes “Free and Easy” so special.
Sundance Review: “The Big Sick”
There are certain movies that are so intensely personal, so fiercely credible that there’s no question they are based on true stories. “The Big Sick” feels authentic because it is authentic.
Sundance Review: “Wind River”
“Wind River” is a story of savagery, loneliness, and slow burning pursuit.
“Live By Night”
“Live By Night” isn’t rotten, it’s simply forgettable.
“Sleepless”
“Sleepless” is essentially a bad cop chase movie set inside a Las Vegas casino.
