Flaming Ears
- Excerpt: Newly restored in 4K by Kinothek Asta Nielsen e.V., the queer sci-fi spectacular that is Flaming Ears must be seen to be believed…and even then, you’ll likely be left with a strange sense of disbelief about what you just watched.
The Inspection
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: The beautifully cast film gives Bratton a true collaborator in Pope, whose heartfelt and emotionally stirring performance gives the audience the filmmaker’s POV into the tough and troubling experience through which he ultimately triumphs.
Lamborghini: The Man Behind the Legend
- Excerpt: While the cast is exceptional and the story is interesting, Lamborghini: The Man Behind the Legend is a project that could’ve used another 30 minutes to flesh out the second half.

Color of Heaven
Diego Salgado @ SoFilm [Spanish]

Diego Salgado @ SoFilm [Spanish]
The Friendship Game
Mike McGranaghan @ The Aisle Seat
- Excerpt: This is one of the most maddening, unpleasant-to-sit-through films of the year.
Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery
David “DC” Bolling @ DC’s Take
- Excerpt: Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery is a worthy follow-up that managed to be awesomely thrilling. Similar to the original, Rian Johnson made this entertaining sequel its own thing with another mystery full of unpredictable surprises.
Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: The filmmakers have also decided to make this a musical which, while not a problem in and of itself, becomes one when the songs are as exceedingly bland as those written by Alexandre Desplat with lyrics by the screenwriters and Roeban Katz.
Lie Hard
Mark Leeper @ Mark leeper’s Reviews
- Excerpt: In LIE HARD, Rob, a not-very-bright twenty-something, borrows $4 million from the mob to impress his girlfriend’s father. Then the mob wants the money back.
Monica, O My Darling
Kathy Gibson @ Access Bollywood

Allen Almachar @ The MacGuffin

Diego Salgado @ SoFilm [Spanish]
The Pez Outlaw

Slumberland
Travis Burgess @ The Sacred Wall
- Excerpt: Jason Momoa helps make ‘Slumberland’ a surprising delight
Spirited
Mike McGranaghan @ The Aisle Seat
- Excerpt: I don’t know if the movie will become a perennial classic, but it’s certainly a terrific way to spend two hours this, or any, Christmas season.
Terror Train
Mark Harris @ Black Horror Movies
Voodoo Macbeth
Mark Leeper @ Mark leeper’s Reviews
