The 355
Herman Dhaliwal @ Cinema Sanctum
- Excerpt: I wouldn’t call The 355 a terrible movie, but it’s a thoroughly mediocre one. When the action doesn’t work, the writing is forced to carry the film, and while the actors do good work with what they’re given, the material is mostly very bland.
Beguiled Company
Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: This 70 minute, one take time travel comedy written by its theatrical ensemble Europe Kikaku’s Makoto Ueda works its premise for all its worth without overstaying its welcome, only to reveal it was a meet cute romance all along.

Brazen
Kirsten Hawkes @ Parent Previews
Hotel Transylvania: Transformania
- Excerpt: Harrison discusses Hotel Transylvania: Transformania for the 1st Annual JanuScary Special!
Nocturna: Side A
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: Calzada has uncannily made his film itself appear haunted, the whole cloaked in a greenish tinge of decay, Ulises’s paternal guilt weighing heavily upon him.
Nocturna: Side B
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: David Lynch’s influence is felt even more strongly in Side B, which has the look of his early shorts…

Come True
Mark Leeper @ Mark leeper’s Reviews
- Excerpt: COME TRUE is a horror film based on the dreams and nightmares a teenage runaway has during a sleep study of questionable ethics.
Cyrano
Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews

Delicious
Kirsten Hawkes @ Parent Previews
Jockey
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: Collins Jr. and Parker forge a warm on screen partnership, the type of relationship that really feels lived-in.
Mayday
Mark Leeper @ Mark leeper’s Reviews
- Excerpt: The nature of what is going on is kept from the viewer for a while but turns out to be a YA-level action story.
Munich: The Edge of War
MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
- Excerpt: Dull, earnest fanfic full of halfhearted secret-agent shenanigans and a misguided rethink of Chamberlain the appeaser. Same-old rote, by-the-number World War II–ing we’ve seen countless times before.
Settlers
Mark Leeper @ Mark leeper’s Reviews
- Excerpt: This is basically a John Ford Western on Mars (down to using some of Ford’s trademark shots), with a minimal cast.
