Film-wise, 2017 is a tough year to follow. But so far this year, we’ve been treated to some excellent releases, especially in the horror and superheroes genres.

This ultra-violent crime thriller, satirizing some of Americans’ most despicable, imperialist impulses, somehow seems as though it is from a quieter, more decent time — and that’s depressing

… As we see the propane tanks and apple boxes and tarps that father and daughter have gathered, we don’t need to be told that these two are not just out camping; they live in the woods

… It’s nice that writer/director Shana Feste’s family comic drama Boundaries shows an adult woman reluctant to let her vagabond dad back into her life — for good reason

The film is about being overwhelmed by Los Angeles, its sprawling indifference, but also about finding your place in it – and even, at times, its welcoming warmth

In both the archives and in Novack’s footage, Talley appears so fully himself in every one of his garishly fascinating caftans that it’s difficult not to admire him or the endless knowledge of history and design (specifically Russian) he can spout from on cue

Like 2004’s The Raspberry Reich, a satire of what LaBruce has called “terrorist chic,” The Misandrists soaks audiences in the doings (and I do mean doings) of a radical cell of sexual dissenters

With the fourth sequel opening June 22, Jurassic Park is a perfect movie that holds up 25 years later.
