Movie reviews and Cinefest showtimes.
With Valentine’s Day on our doorstep, it’s important to remind ourselves that “elegance” stops at the romantic dinner and chocolate boxes. No matter how suave we think we are, we’re all kinda grody in the […]
Grade: C- Verdict: “Split” has some effective tension, but largely passes up on opportunities to up the ante. This movie isn’t, uhm, good? But we’re dealing with M. Night Shyamalan, so who really cares about […]
Grade: D Verdict: Michael Keaton is great and this movie isn’t the stupidest, but by god, it was a chore to sit through. McDonald’s, as we all know, is not really regarded as a fresh […]

Grade: C Verdict: Sometimes a movie is fun, but I vehemently disagree with what it has to say. “Nocturnal Animals” is one such movie. Tom Ford’s “Nocturnal Animals” opens with an, uhm, eye-catching sequence. Naked, […]
Grade: B+ Verdict: Rebecca Hall’s performance is the biggest reason to see “Christine,” but this focused portrait of a troubled woman also offers an exacting, emotional punch. On July 15, 1974, reporter Christine Chubbuck shot […]
