The Spy Who Dumped Me (2018)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - August 3rd, 2018 - Movie Reviews

It’s always a question what McKinnon is going to do next, and by the time she climbed to the top of a Cirque Du Soleil trapeze in full costumed regalia to conduct an aerial battle of wits and wiles with an angry assassin she had me giggling so boisterously I almost fell out of my theatre seat.

“Eighth Grade” – Interview with Bo Burnham and Elsie Fisher

by Sara Michelle Fetters - July 26th, 2018 - Film Festivals Interviews

“I haven’t worked on a project really where the message of it mattered so much to me. It felt like the message I wanted when I was in that time period. To get to do that for other people and even for myself? I loved that. Part of working on this was realizing that it’s chill to be who you are. It felt very good to say that.”
– Elsie Fisher

Eighth Grade (2018)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - July 25th, 2018 - Film Festivals Movie Reviews

While my own middle school experiences aren’t ones I’d want to relive, watching Eighth Grade is a trip back to school I’d be happy to take whenever the opportunity to do so might arise.

by Sara Michelle Fetters - July 25th, 2018 - Movie Reviews

So when I say Mission: Impossible – Fallout isn’t just the best film of the series but one of the great action epics of our time know that I mean it, McQuarrie lighting the fuse on a piece of high-octane summertime entertainment we’re going to be excitedly talking about for a quite awhile to come.

Yet it is Phoenix, almost all on his own, who makes Don’t Worry, He Won’t Get Far On Foot something that borders on essential.

The Equalizer II (2018)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - July 20th, 2018 - Movie Reviews

There is a tonal consistency to The Equalizer II its predecessor never had. Coupled with Washington’s magnetically stalwart performance, I ended up enjoying this sequel just enough to exit the theatre smiling, and as mid-afternoon matinees are concerned there’s just enough that works here to make this predictably explosive thriller easy to recommend.

The Devil’s Doorway (2018)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - July 19th, 2018 - Film Festivals Movie Reviews

Newcomer Aislinn Clarke’s confident and sinister debut feature The Devil’s Doorway is a clever twist on the “found footage” subgenre of horror films, her movie more concerned with her three principal characters and their twisting moral ambiguities than it is in unleashing a bunch of nonsensical cheap scares.

Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again (2018)

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

I’m as flabbergasted as anyone that I enjoyed Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again as much as I did. But this sequel got to me and did so within in the first few minutes, an opening rendition of “When I Kissed the Teacher” having a sundrenched Technicolor exuberance that’s wondrous.
