Phantom Thread (2017)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - April 15th, 2018 - Blu-ray and DVD

Phantom Thread is a triumph for Paul Thomas Anderson and a motion picture I’m sure to be returning to multiple times in the very near future. Magnificent.

“Lean on Pete” – Interview with Andrew Haigh

by Sara Michelle Fetters - April 13th, 2018 - Interviews

“I think the movie is about the importance of kindness, about having compassion for those that are having such difficult lives. I think that’s what I would like people to take away, the thought that maybe we could all be a little bit kinder to one another.”
– Andrew Haigh

Lean on Pete (2017)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - April 13th, 2018 - Four-Star Corner Movie Reviews

The bitter truths of life’s regrets and hardships are all ones Charlie gets to look upon with a forceful clarity that is rare for a teenager to experience, his ability to persevere and still cling onto the aspirational hopes and dreams of a future adulthood that’s right around the corner unforgettably inspiring.

Truth or Dare (2018)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - April 13th, 2018 - Movie Reviews

It’s the rest of the movie that’s something of an irredeemably baffling genre disaster, Truth or Dare one supernatural game of horror nonsense I’d honestly rather not have played.

Rampage (2018)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - April 12th, 2018 - Movie Reviews

For all its visual ingenuity, for as many clever in-jokes referring to the original 1986 arcade game as there might be, Rampage is an unrelentingly stupid creature feature, and I can’t exactly say I was as overjoyed watching it for the entirety of its reasonably well-paced 107 minutes.

Beirut (2018)

Like all the best fictional spy melodramas, truth must course through them in order for their crazy twists and turns to resonate. That is happily the case with Beirut.

Father Figures (2017)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - April 9th, 2018 - Blu-ray and DVD

Nope. Still doesn’t work for me. I wanted to give Father Figures a second chance mainly because, even if I didn’t particularly like the movie during my first viewing, I still respected its ambition quite a lot. But the comedy just doesn’t work, undercutting itself and demolishing its potential to entertain at seemingly every turn. What a waste.

Blockers (2018)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - April 6th, 2018 - Movie Reviews

Blockers is a really funny motion picture. Better, it’s also an emotionally authentic one, that combination making this comedy something of a minor sensation I’m certain to be watching again soon.
