‘Little Things’ great but eclipsed by classics

Posted on February 8, 2021 by reelentropy

8/10 Warner Bros.’ moody new noir The Little Things is primarily being dismissed as too close to the 1995 classic Seven, and, yeah. That’s pretty much all there is to say. It’s a beat-for-beat remake of Seven with a significant … Continue reading →

3/10 I think we all really needed this. Three years after the Harvey Weinstein saga kicked into gear in October 2017, horrifically realizing the old casting couch, “who’d she blow for that role” stereotypes in a way that reveals what … Continue reading →

‘Greenland’ strong, stirring, timely

Posted on December 24, 2020 by reelentropy

8/10 I’d been greatly looking forward to Greenland since its first trailer as an easy target for mocking, but spent significantly less time laughing at it than I was prepared to. This is a good, affecting movie. Atlanta- construction engineer … Continue reading →
