Child's Play
A review by Lorry Kikta for Film Threat2019-06-24
It’s a darkly funny allegory about technology with awesome practical gore.Read entire review on Film Threat -
Toy Story 4
A review by Alan Ng for Film Threat2019-06-20
Beauty aside, Toy Story 4 captures the heart of the entire saga in its own way.Read entire review on Film Threat -
Shaft
A review by Alex Saveliev for Film Threat2019-06-15
Shaft attempts to hide its own prejudices by simply acknowledging those issues, without so much as a trace of depth or substance.Read entire review on Film Threat -
The Lavender Scare
A review by Alan Ng for Film Threat2019-06-13
The Lavender Scare is essential to watch and an excellently produced documentary about a time the communist threat overshadowed the so-called “gay threat” from our history books.Read entire review on Film Threat -
Plus One
A review by Lorry Kikta for Film Threat2019-06-13
Maya Erskine is hilarious, which is no surprise, given how funny she is on Hulu’s Pen15.Read entire review on Film Threat -
Papi Chulo
A review by Alex Saveliev for Film Threat2019-06-08
Matt Bomer and Alejandro Patiño, who play the two leads, have a chemistry that brings to mind Tom McCarthy’s superior studies of seemingly disparate characters bonding against all odds, The Station Agent and The Visitor. That unlikely companionship – the heart of Butler’s film – goes a long way to make up for other lags: underdeveloped secondary characters and a few misjudged sequences that unwittingly titter on the brink of “racist.”Read entire review on Film Threat -
Extracurricular Activities
A review by Alex Saveliev for Film Threat2019-06-08
Unlike the films it aspires to – Heathers, Election, American Psycho or even The Voices – Lowi’s feature’s all sizzle, no steak.Read entire review on Film Threat -
Framing John DeLorean
A review by Hunter Lanier for Film Threat2019-06-07
Aside from the poorly considered inclusion of staged drama, Framing John DeLorean competently breezes through the rise and fall of the legendary car mogul.Read entire review on Film Threat -
Nothing Stays The Same: The Story of The Saxon Pub
A review by Lorry Kikta for Film Threat2019-06-06
Overall, Nothing Stays The Same: The Story of The Saxon Pub is a feel good movie. The ending is happy and it’s wonderful because all of these people deserve a place to showcase their art. Music is very important. Community is as well.Read entire review on Film Threat -
Hallowed Ground
A review by Alex Saveliev for Film Threat2019-06-06
Nary a moment rings true, nary a moment elicits anything close to chills or dread – or, at the very least, unintentional laughs.Read entire review on Film Threat -
Dark Phoenix
A review by Alan Ng for Film Threat2019-06-05
The final fight at the end is fantastic. It is by far the best X-Men fight in its franchise history (not counting Deadpool).Read entire review on Film Threat -
Apocalypse Now Final Cut
A review by Lorry Kikta for Film Threat2019-06-04
This new interpretation of the beloved classic absolutely deserves to be seen in theaters.Read entire review on Film Threat -
UglyDolls
A review by Alan Ng for Film Threat2019-06-04
UglyDolls is good for the kids and a great way to occupy their attention for almost 90 minutes. For the adults, it’s just another uninspired children’s film to hold us over until the next one comes along.Read entire review on Film Threat -
Rocketman
A review by Alan Ng for Film Threat2019-06-02
Visually speaking, Fletcher’s film is wonderful to watch. The fantastical choices he occasionally makes is grounded and never pull you out of the film.Read entire review on Film Threat -
Loners
A review by Bradley Gibson for Film Threat2019-06-01
The dark comedy is subtle, but hilarious. Serious topics bubble up from masterful situational humor.Read entire review on Film Threat -
Ma
A review by Matthew Passantino for Film Threat2019-06-01
The greatest pleasure the movie has to offer is a chance to watch Spencer perform completely unhinged and relish every moment doing so.Read entire review on Film Threat -
Halston
A review by Alex Saveliev for Film Threat2019-05-31
While not as insightful as his previous work, Halston doesn’t blemish Tcheng’s resume either, providing a perfectly enjoyable – if inconsequential – portrait of a larger-than-life public figure. Fashionistas will surely gulp this up, while the rest of us may ultimately dismiss it as yet another glamorized, facile look into a glamorized, facile industry.Read entire review on Film Threat -
Godzilla: King of the Monsters
A review by Alan Ng for Film Threat2019-05-31
Whether you’re a Godzilla fan or not, you’ll have fun, but you’re not going to walk away feeling like you saw something spectacular or memorable for that matter.Read entire review on Film Threat -
The Proposal
A review by Alex Saveliev for Film Threat2019-05-30
The Proposal explores the ethics behind copywriting art, but it also sees its artist go to radical extremes that some may find equally questionable. It will provoke discussions and arguments aplenty. What’s hard to argue is that the documentary itself is nothing short of spectacular: a sublime and unforgettable work of art. Barragán would be proud.Read entire review on Film Threat -
XY Chelsea
A review by Lorry Kikta for Film Threat2019-05-29
Regardless of how someone might feel about what she’s done, XY Chelsea will definitely give you some insight into why she did it and maybe will help inform a better understanding of what’s going on behind the scenes in these long, awful wars that America keeps getting into.Read entire review on Film Threat
