Assassination Nation (2018)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - September 23rd, 2018 - Movie Reviews

It’s how all these various pieces fit together that makes Assassination Nation work as well as it does, and while Levinson doesn’t hit every target he aims at, the ones that strike the target end up right at the very center of the sadistically satirical bulls-eye.

The House with a Clock in Its Walls (2018)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - September 21st, 2018 - Movie Reviews

As slight as The House with a Clock in Its Walls might be, it’s just so much gosh darn fun its various shortcomings thankfully don’t add up to much, Roth finally making a motion picture I can heartily recommend with no reservations whatsoever.

Life Itself (2018)

Life itself slams the viewer against the pavement time and time again almost as if doing so were an Olympic sport.

Little Italy (2018)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - September 21st, 2018 - Movie Reviews

There’s no way I can come down too harshly on Petrie’s sugar-coated endeavor. While this movie won’t do for Roberts what the director’s Mystic Pizza helped do for her Oscar-winning aunt back in 1988, and while Little Italy won’t prove to be anywhere near as memorable in the long term as that fellow independently produced effort has proven to be, even with an extra large sampling of undercooked melodramatic hooey I find it difficult to find this slice of cheesy romance to be entirely inedible.

Lizzie (2018)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - September 21st, 2018 - Movie Reviews

While the line between fact and fiction remains hazy, Lizzie is a compelling drama of human desire, oppression, romance and regret I’ll not soon forget.

Mandy (2018)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - September 19th, 2018 - Movie Reviews

Mandy is a bonkers piece of sensationalistic bravado I couldn’t help but adore.
