Hmmm, this will be interesting. I'm all for the drive-in theory, though.

jakeem Posted July 10, 2020 Author Share Posted July 10, 2020 Bob Strauss @bscritic It's a tad hokey to say a film called #WidowofSilence is quietly shattering. But this low-key drama about a Muslim mom, whose husband has been "disappeared" for years, fighting Kashmir's Indian bureaucracy to restart her life whispers until it (and we) can't help but scream. 3:43 PM · Jul 10, 2020·Twitter Web App Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakeem Posted July 10, 2020 Author Share Posted July 10, 2020 Bob Strauss @bscritic #Relic takes a good stab at being a haunted house movie about intergenerational issues, but it's not #Netflix's #HauntingofHillHouse in that regard. It's better at associating possession with dementia, but doesn't nail that theme as strongly as it could, either.

jakeem Posted July 11, 2020 Author Share Posted July 11, 2020 Bob Strauss @bscritic #Hulu's #PalmSpringsMovie is a delightful extension of the #GroundhogDay idea. Whacked-out and existentially wise, with a more-than-credible romantic comedy at the base of its sci fi silliness. #andysamberg and #cristinmilioti are my favorite movie couple of the year. 7:14 PM · Jul 10, 2020·Twitter Web App Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakeem Posted July 11, 2020 Author Share Posted July 11, 2020 Bob Strauss @bscritic Despite extensive use of #CGI oceans, ships and explosions, #GreyhoundMovie is a pretty minimalist war drama. Most of this convoy-menaced-by-U-boats story takes place on the bridge of a destroyer, and inside star/writer #TomHanks' head. Simple, suspenseful, it draws you in. 1:30 PM · Jul 11, 2020·Twitter Web App Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
