Suspicion (1941) 97% 3/4 “While few would consider Suspicion the best Hitchcock-Grant joint project -- most would say North By Northwest, I would say Notorious, and probably nobody would say To Catch a Thief (pleasant as it is) -- it’s a decent thriller in its own right.” – Film Frenzy Apr 17, 2025 Full Review The Return of Dracula (1958) 2.5/4 “Average in most respects, The Return of Dracula does include some arty touches that are worth noting.” – Film Frenzy Apr 17, 2025 Full Review Respiro (2002) 77% 2.5/4 “The film works nicely as long as it operates in a realistic (make that neorealistic) vein, but it eventually turns into an awkward and onerous watch with no endgame in sight.” – Film Frenzy Apr 17, 2025 Full Review 2073 (2024) 48% 2/4 “The trouble with 2073 is that not only does it employ an unwieldy gimmick as its foundation but it places it in the service of a “preaching to the choir” piece.” – Film Frenzy Apr 17, 2025 Full Review Paddington 2 (2017) 99% 3/4 “Charming, humorous, and full of heart.” – Film Frenzy Apr 17, 2025 Full Review Paddington (2014) 96% 3/4 “Free of even the smallest inklings of cynicism and snark.” – Film Frenzy Apr 17, 2025 Full Review Beast of the Dead (1970) 1.5/4 “The last and least in the "Blood Island" series.” – Film Frenzy Apr 17, 2025 Full Review Tomb of the Living Dead (1969) 2/4 “The directors make the unfortunate decision to pull the camera back and forth and shake it like crazy whenever the creature is about to gut someone.” – Film Frenzy Apr 17, 2025 Full Review Brides of Blood (1968) 2/4 “The unique location shooting of the Philippine wilderness and the vivid monster makeup help the picture survive against the lamentable acting and erratic scripting.” – Film Frenzy Apr 17, 2025 Full Review Terror Is a Man (1959) 2.5/4 “An effective version of the H.G. Wells classic The Island of Dr. Moreau -- not as powerful as the Laughton version or as fun as the Lancaster remake, but it’s the best of the “Blood Island” franchise.” – Film Frenzy Apr 17, 2025 Full Review Domino (2005) 18% 1/4 “An attempt to make a crime caper as tricked up as, say, Pulp Fiction or Get Shorty, but it’s an unholy mess.” – Film Frenzy Apr 17, 2025 Full Review The Wedding Banquet (1993) 91% 3.5/4 “Ang Lee's comedy of errors is a delightful confection that's ultimately as poignant as it is humorous.” – Charlotte Observer Apr 15, 2025 Full Review Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang (2005) 86% 3/4 “From its opening moments, it’s clear Black isn’t making a buddy/action movie as much as a send-up of a buddy/action movie.” – Film Frenzy Apr 9, 2025 Full Review One of Them Days (2025) 94% 3/4 “One of Them Days is one of them race-against-the-clock comedies, but two strong leads, colorful supporting characters (including Aziza Scott as a female Terminator), and an undercurrent of societal angst succeed in making it both fresh and funny.” – Film Frenzy Apr 8, 2025 Full Review Flight Risk (2025) 30% 1.5/4 “Mel Gibson’s sadistic bent as a filmmaker is well established by now, so it’s not surprising to see him drawn to this script. But beyond that, it’s hard to imagine what he thought he could bring to such a threadbare story.” – Film Frenzy Apr 8, 2025 Full Review The End (1978) 56% 2.5/4 “At the time of its release, some critics trashed the film as tasteless since it dared to suggest laughs could be obtained from the topics of death and suicide. That’s not the problem with the picture.” – Film Frenzy Apr 8, 2025 Full Review Dog Man (2025) 80% 2.5/4 “While catnip to the kiddies, the latest DreamWorks Animation enterprise can’t help but receive a more mixed reception from those old enough to apply for a driver’s license.” – Film Frenzy Apr 8, 2025 Full Review Companion (2025) 94% 3/4 “What on the surface looks as if it could be yet another horror yarn off the Blumhouse assembly line is instead a cleverly scripted and zestfully performed fantasy-thriller.” – Film Frenzy Apr 8, 2025 Full Review Below the Surface (1920) 3/4 “An effective melodrama.” – Film Frenzy Apr 8, 2025 Full Review Behind the Door (1920) 3.5/4 “It might seem perverse to compare a silent flick to Gaspar Noe’s notorious Irreversible, but both inspire the same sickening sense of impending tragedy.” – Film Frenzy Apr 8, 2025 Full Review Babygirl (2024) 76% 2/4 “It makes cosmic sense that the same stretch of time that produced the grotesque post-election quote “Your body, my choice” would also yield a movie that too often (if inadvertently) encapsulates said message.” – Film Frenzy Apr 8, 2025 Full Review The Mysterious Castle in the Carpathians (1981) 3/4 “There’s much to enjoy.” – Film Frenzy Apr 8, 2025 Full Review Dinner for Adele (1978) 3.5/4 “Not one nanosecond of this picture is meant to be taken seriously, with the filmmakers piling on the visual oddities and the actors tackling the material with tongue firmly ensconced in cheek.” – Film Frenzy Apr 8, 2025 Full Review Hush... Hush, Sweet Charlotte (1965) 84% 3/4 “The best of the What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? knock-offs was arguably this atmospheric creepshow.” – Film Frenzy Apr 4, 2025 Full Review The Laughing Policeman (1973) 59% 3/4 “Select scenes pop with an air of authenticity.” – Film Frenzy Apr 4, 2025 Full Review
