Rowdy Girl (2023) |
A very messy film. Sloppy filmmaking here that doesn't do the subject matter service. - FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

The Watchers (2024) |
The apple does not fall far from the tree... But I wish that apple rolled down the hill just a wee little bit. - FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

Hit Man (2023) |
Had I not known it was based on an actual person, I would've thought "This is ridiculous, none of this happened, you're just making stuff up"... Yet it's loosely based on a true -- yet pointless -- story. - FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024) |
This script should have been released first. It would've elevated Fury Road... The dynamic here is reversed, though this is still a very good film. - FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

Photographic Justice: The Corky Lee Story (2022) |
Watch this movie. You will get the experience of the entire Asian American diaspora and of a brilliant photographer who went unknown for far too long. - FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

Challengers (2024) |

Sasquatch Sunset (2024) |
Something's going on in this movie that's not evident at the beginning. You've got to wait for it, but if you do it's kind of sharp. - FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

The Lie: The Murder of Grace Millane (2024) |

In the Land of Saints and Sinners (2023) |
This is a really good movie. I poke a lot of fun at Liam [Neeson] for making the same movie over and over again, but this goes to show you can play that guy without playing "that guy." - FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

Lisa Frankenstein (2024) |
These filmmakers seem to be making fun of those people [from the '80s], and that kind of bugged me... This just doesn't hold up very well, and it's not directed all that tightly either. - FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
