UNCUT GEMS
Next thing you know, I am DEEP into this flick!!! The tension built is genius. The score is maddening, but really heightens the mood. Characters just talk over one another, speaking at the same time, like real life. Actually, half of them I think were real people, not actors. There’s never a dull moment.

Lady Bird
I’m always looking for interesting, and original points of view in a movie review and I found one: “The movie brings up tendrils of intersectional discourse — race, class issues, reproductive rights, mental health — only to leave them shriveling in the backdrop of the movie, their importance not even secondary to Lady Bird’s white girl problems.

A Revlock Review: ROOM
One cannot fault a sensitive, horror-averse moviegoer for balking at the premise of ROOM. On paper, the film reads as a realist revitalization of torture-porn tropes: Joy (Brie Larson) is kidnapped at nineteen by a bearded creep whom she refers to as Old Nick (Sean Bridgers), he imprisons her in a fortified garden shed and rapes her...

Blog Contributor Monique: LOCKE (Tom Hardy
by Monique Steans I was really glad to get the assignment to see LOCKE, as it had been on my Indie film radar for sometime. TOM HARDY’S character Ivan Locke, centers around an emotionally tortured man who on the outside seems calmbut on the inside is falling apart at the seams. The film was shot entirely in a car, in London with a singular character, Locke, interacting on the phone with those in his life, it’s an interesting journey. I couldn’t help but feel an emotional connection to everything his character went through – from getting fired, to cheating on his wife, resulting in another woman having his baby; and…
