I suppose part of it stems from the fact that release patterns were so strange in the pre-Spielberg/Lucas blockbuster years. Many movies were released regionally instead of nationwide. Things began to change with the success of "Jaws" in 1975. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakeem Posted July 25, 2020 Author Share Posted July 25, 2020 Bob Strauss @bscritic I found #TheRental mostly engaging; a subtly tense, well-detailed relationship drama that takes its time turning into a paranoid slasher thing. Penultimate 15 minutes are masterful. Last 15, unfortunately, become a generic meltdown. 2:16 PM · Jul 25, 2020·Twitter Web App Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakeem Posted July 25, 2020 Author Share Posted July 25, 2020 Bob Strauss @bscritic Actress #RomolaGarai's feature writing-directing debut #Amulet is an ambitious hybrid of slow-building body horror, refugee paranoia and sly feminist revenge fantasy. Some narrative cheats and missteps here, but overall a very promising, uniquely imagined & atmospheric 1st film. 8:21 PM · Jul 24, 2020·Twitter Web App Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakeem Posted August 2, 2020 Author Share Posted August 2, 2020 Bob Strauss @bscritic #TheSecretMovie: Romantic/family film supersap spun off of the self-help bestseller's platitudes. Plus unnecessary secrets(!) there to make the witless plot work (I use the word "work" generously). So many bad literary forms in one movie, it's almost - generously - "impressive." 10:04 PM · Aug 1, 2020·Twitter Web App Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
