    Opus

    ★★½

    Mark Anthony Green’s “Opus” is a film that we have seen before and it has been better specifically from the same studio. This film is very derivative. This film feels like a diet “Midsummer” from the way it’s shot to what Ayo’s character does throughout the entirety of the film. This film has a thesis that is very interesting. However, it only goes surface level deep. It ultimately doesn’t know what it wants to be. John Malkovich’s wonderfully sadistic performance is truly…

    The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie

    ★★★½

    Peter Browngardt’s “The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie” is a ridiculously funny, kids movie. It’s genuinely excellent.

    Joe & Anthony Russo’s “The Electric State” is a monumental waste of money. This film is so deeply derivative it takes from so many different much better films like “E.T.” and “The Iron Giant”. It’s got an insane cast that don’t get to do anything special because of the extremely weak screenplay. A basic villain performance that I’ve seen in every other AI revolution film. None of the actors are particularly bad but none of them shine, because of the dull, boring and…

    ★★★★★

    Greg Kwedar’s “Sing Sing” is a powerful and extraordinary film. About how art can help you get in touch with your emotions. This prison drama is all about hope and how to gain it back when you lose it the first time, and help make it stronger. Clarence Maclin as himself gives an absolutely heartbreaking and incredible performance. Colman Domingo gives the best performance of his career so far. This film is a modern day “The Shawshank Redemption” but much less graphic.…
