The People's Joker (2022) 96% 4/5 EDIT “The storyline is equal parts gaspingly funny, heartbreakingly true in its depiction of how the public treats trans people, and desperately accurate in how an abusive relationship can keep one from achieving the goals which one deserves to meet. ” – Starburst Apr 22, 2024 Full Review South of Heaven (2021) 48% 3/5 EDIT “The performances in South of Heaven - at least those of Sudeikis, Whigham, and Colter - are solid, if unflashy.” – Starburst Jan 7, 2022 Full Review Punk the Capital: Building a Sound Movement (2019) 100% 5/5 EDIT “Add in Bad Brains' H.R. offering up clear and lucid commentary, a deep-dive into the influence of early clubs and radio shows, and Punk the Capital manages to exceed all expectations.” – Starburst Jun 22, 2021 Full Review Tom & Jerry (2021) 29% 3/5 EDIT “While not perfect, it's perfectly serviceable entertainment for a weeknight post-dinner couch viewing, and will leave kids and adults alike satisfied.” – Starburst Mar 25, 2021 Full Review Promising Young Woman (2020) 90% 4/5 EDIT “Promising Young Woman, for all its strong messaging and difficult-to-watch scenes, still manages to be at times funny and charming.” – Starburst Jan 16, 2021 Full Review Hunted (2020) 61% 2/5 EDIT “Hunted could've been something special or interesting. As it is, it's just a well-lensed mess.” – Starburst Jan 15, 2021 Full Review An American Pickle (2020) 73% 2/5 EDIT “While it looks lovely, An American Pickle is ultimately out of step with the times in which it finds itself.” – Starburst Aug 27, 2020 Full Review She Dies Tomorrow (2020) 84% 4/5 EDIT “She Dies Tomorrow aches with tension and possibility, and maintains that through to the last frame, refusing to let the viewer off with easy answers.” – Starburst Aug 27, 2020 Full Review Uncle Peckerhead (2020) 100% 4/5 EDIT “There's a ton of heart in Uncle Peckerhead, thanks to the fact that the music sounds like a real band. It's catchy, kind of like a mix between the bouncy underground pop of Lemuria, mixed with Green Day's stadium punk rock.” – Starburst Aug 27, 2020 Full Review Dreambuilders (2020) 58% 2/10 EDIT “While the imagery is gorgeous, and the final half hour certainly an improvement upon what's preceded it, the overall impression of this animated film is one of being overwhelming underwhelmed.” – Starburst Aug 3, 2020 Full Review Inmate #1: The Rise of Danny Trejo (2019) 100% 9/10 EDIT “Inmate #1: The Rise of Danny Trejo is a remarkably thorough and well-considered film.” – Starburst Jul 9, 2020 Full Review Blumhouse's Fantasy Island (2020) 9% 4/10 EDIT “Fantasy Island plays out like an overlong version of a television pilot. It's definitely a quarter of an hour minutes too long,” – Starburst Apr 30, 2020 Full Review After Midnight (2019) 90% 7/10 EDIT “If a viewer's willing to accept that there might be more tenderness than terror, accepting the brief scenes of fiendish interaction for what they are, however, After Midnight can be a rewarding experience.” – Starburst Feb 26, 2020 Full Review Making Waves: The Art of Cinematic Sound (2019) 97% 8/10 EDIT “By film's end, it's been less a documentary experience, and more like having some new, talented friends telling war stories about what they do for a living.” – Starburst Oct 9, 2019 Full Review Dead Ant (2017) 69% 6/10 EDIT “The actors, while B-movie grade, are still professional, and commit fully to the premise at hand. There's no attempt to try to make Giant Killer Ants more than it is, but there's also no winking and nodding at the audience, either.” – Starburst Jun 24, 2019 Full Review Prospect (2018) 89% 8/10 EDIT “The otherworldly aspect of the film is very important, it being sci-fi and all, but the ability of the designers to create a practical, lived-in world makes Prospect a film to which the viewer can connect.” – Starburst May 15, 2019 Full Review Knife + Heart (2018) 81% 9/10 EDIT “A film which is fascinating, involving, and a faithful yet clever inversion of a genre which is all too frequently about style over substance.” – Starburst Apr 1, 2019 Full Review Book of Monsters (2018) 75% 6/10 EDIT “The effects are good, and the monster designs are legitimate, but it seems that all the work went into making Book of Monsters look interesting. Unfortunately, beneath the surface, it's revealed that the film is nothing but a thin veneer.” – Starburst Mar 14, 2019 Full Review Videomannen (2018) 100% 7/10 EDIT “While Videoman's appeal initially lies with its obsessive collector aspects and nerd appeal, the lasting value of Söderström's film rests with the tale of grown-up romance between two broken souls.” – Starburst Feb 7, 2019 Full Review St. Agatha (2018) 63% EDIT “While the viewer might not be surprised by one single plot point, St. Agatha is perfectly entertaining.” – Starburst Jan 29, 2019 Full Review Ugly Sweater Party (2018) 6/10 EDIT “Mento doesn't lean into the Christmas aspect of the film nearly enough for this to count as a holiday slasher, aside from some strung-up lights and the occasional decoration.” – Starburst Nov 27, 2018 Full Review Bonehill Road (2017) 60% 7/10 EDIT “Bonehill Road sees the writer-director pulling back into something more intimate.” – Starburst Oct 29, 2018 Full Review Vidar the Vampire (2017) 6/10 EDIT “Once the film removes Vidar from his small, rural Christian village and moves him to the big Norwegian city, it turns from the oddball in a group of oddballs and becomes just another fish out of water story.” – Starburst Aug 23, 2018 Full Review Slasher.com (2016) 1/10 EDIT “Everything about the presentation is utterly lacking.” – Starburst Apr 27, 2018 Full Review The Old Dark House (1932) 97% 8/10 EDIT “Watching it, the viewer will discover that the likes of The Cabin in the Woods, The Evil Dead, and more all had their start half a century before.” – Starburst Apr 25, 2018 Full Review
