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”!

“Black Bag”
While the dialogue is sharp, wickedly written, and delivered with precise doses of scathing, stinging verve, it also feels a little too self-indulgent for the majority of the film’s runtime.
“Opus”
The film wants to be a biting critique of pop culture obsession, a psychological thriller, and an eerie horror film all at once, but it never quite lands any of these elements in a satisfying way.
“Shuffle”
This documentary exposes the darker side of addiction treatment, giving a shocking look at how profits are prioritized over people.
“Foul Evil Deeds”
Vignettes of everyday pettiness, bad decisions, and low-key cruelty are all delivered with a heavy dose of deadpan dark humor.
“Any Day Now”
Struggles under the weight of too much exposition, unnecessary backstory, and a sluggish pace that makes the whole thing feel way longer than it needs to be.
