by Sara Michelle Fetters - January 12th, 2018 - Four-Star Corner Movie ReviewsI might even go so far as to proclaim Paddington 2 pretty much perfect, but let me indulge in one more marmalade sandwich before I make the decision to say just that.

The Space Between Us (2017)
by Sara Michelle Fetters - February 3rd, 2017 - Movie ReviewsNot to say I believe The Space Between Us is worth a viewer’s time and money, not even that of the teenage audience this story is so clearly targeted at, this interplanetary romance a rocket ship of schmaltz and cliché that’s impossible to take seriously.

The Hateful Eight (2015)
by Sara Michelle Fetters - December 23rd, 2015 - Movie ReviewsProblem is, little of it is clear. Worse, most of it gets drowned in so much guts and gore, not to mention irredeemably abuse and sexism, listening to it is close to impossible. The Hateful Eight has lots to love, but just as much to abhor, making it something an elegant enigma that’s as frustrating as it is impressive.

Paddington (2015)
by Sara Michelle Fetters - January 16th, 2015 - Movie ReviewsI’m not entirely sure Paddington, adapted from the works of creator Michael Bond, could be any more delightful than it actually is, the film as divine a piece of family entertainment as any I could have fantasized about. A loving homage to the source material.

Interstellar (2014)
by Sara Michelle Fetters - November 5th, 2014 - Movie ReviewsIn the case of this 169-minute 2001: A Space Odyssey meets Close Encounters of the Third Kind meets Contact epic, it is likely Nolan’s reach exceeded his grasp, much of this otherworldly adventure never gelling together in ways that are comfortable or satisfying. Yet Interstellar is unabashedly thrilling, euphoric and mesmerizing.
