A lot of fuss is being made about “Arrival,” and I get it. But this isn’t exactly my definition of an enjoyable time at the movies.

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”!

“Doctor Strange”
Superhero origin stories are usually the best of any comic book franchise, and “Dr. Strange” is another enjoyable introduction to a lesser known character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
“Blood Father”
“Blood Father” is a conventional, mostly unoriginal thriller but it still is a bit of good, campy fun.
“Unleashed”
The delightfully offbeat premise of “Unleashed” is without question the film’s greatest strength.
“En Man Som Heter Ov (A Man Called Ove)”
“En Man Som Heter Ov (A Man Called Ove)” is a bittersweet tale of life, love, loss and loneliness, a movie that reminds us all that life is best lived surrounded by friends and family. It’s also one of the best films of the year.
“American Honey”
I have much respect for the intensely personal, visually stunning “American Honey,” the new avant-garde style film from director Andrea Arnold. How I wish it didn’t read as an overblown, self-indulgent disarray of semi-compelling ideas. This film is overly pretentious, rambling, and thinks it’s more important, and far better, than it actually is.
