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”!

This bold, colorful mix of political drama and movie musical is ambitious and heartfelt, but just not strong enough to work.
“In Your Dreams”
Dares to acknowledge complex family emotions while still delivering a colorful and comedic good time.
“Steve Schapiro: Being Everywhere”
A documentary about a photographer who somehow managed to be in the right place at the right time for decades.
“Eddington”
An ambitious, frustrating, and ultimately fascinating mess of a movie.
“Newport & the Great Folk Dream”
Folk music fans are in for a thrilling musical experience, as the documentary features raw, soulful, and unfiltered performances from the archives.
