BWW Review: I Didn't Like KNIVES OUT And Here's Why
by Rosanna Liuski - December 9, 2019

Kinves Out has just recently hit the cinemas. It has gained great reviews from critics and audiences. Unfortunately, there was one fellow who left the cinema with a great sigh. Me, who just two hours earlier had waited for an interesting murder-mystery that would have kept me on the edge of my seat from the beginning to the end like The Prestige (Nolan, 2006) did.

by Abigail Charpentier - July 1, 2019

With the Conjuring cinematic universe rapidly expanding since its initial film in 2013, it has seen both commercial successes and mixed reviews.

BWW Review: I Sometimes Wish BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY'd Never Been Born at All
by Sarah Jae Leiber - November 5, 2018

I spent the months leading up to the release of “Bohemian Rhapsody” in a state of awed anxiety. The release of that first trailer triggered something me--I cried every single time I watched it, and I think I watched it upwards of seven thousand times. I was utterly transfixed by the spectacle, by Rami Malek's uncanny resemblance to the man himself. Freddie Mercury: one of the first non-family voices I can remember recognizing distinctly, a singular talent, and a figure who has informed so much of what I care about and who I choose to be. The best singer to ever live, leading one of the greatest rock bands to ever arrive on the scene. An icon, not only for his talent, but for his identities: a non-white, non-heterosexual, non-Christian superstar who reinvented and mastered the game.

BWW Review: 'JUSTICE' Brings Revenge Back to the Old West
by Richard Best - October 10, 2017

JUSTICE takes us back to the Old West where outlaws reigned and lawmen rode heroically into town to stop them. While JUSTICE does have noticeable flaws, the film tells a decent story of revenge against a corrupt government official and his gang of evil mercenaries. So, the usual when it comes to westerns.
