Review: The Rhythm Section
Think of your heart as the drums, your breathing as the bass. That’s pretty much my only takeaway of note from The Rhythm Section and I’m still not sure how…
Review: The Report
We Chicks both saw The Report at the Middleburg Film Festival last month. We were both fans of this political thriller that should be seen widely, and agreed that its…
Review: MA
My oh Ma! What a departure for Octavia Spencer, playing a lonely, twisted woman in a teen horror flick. The Oscar-winning actress (The Help, Hidden Figures) commands the screen -…
Quickie Review: US
US is most definitely a thinking person’s horror movie. That means, it helps to be a fan of the horror genre, to mitigate the horrors of having to watch the…
Quickie Review: The Hummingbird Project
If you’re looking for something thought-provoking, but less terrifying than US, The Hummingbird Project is the smart person’s financial thriller. That means, it helps to be somewhat of a geek…
Review: Cold Pursuit
Cold Pursuit triggered a chilling case of deja vu. Not just because it’s another Liam Neeson revenge thriller. But because I’d seen the exact same movie before, in 2014 –…
Quickie Review: Serenity
Chances are you've already heard or read: This movie kinda sucks. So I won't delve too deep into the waters of this fish tale gone awry. Suffice it to say,…
Review: Glass

Quickie Review: Border (Gräns)
You probably won't see a more satisfyingly strange film this year than Border. The main character is Tina, a Swedish customs agent with an extraordinary talent. She can smell fear…
Review: The Guilty
This Danish thriller aka Den skyldige is simply amazing. There is just one man on camera through almost all the film's 85 minutes, and you can't look away for a…
Quickie Review: Halloween
The world is a scary place. So do we really need a movie about a homicidal maniac on the loose? Apparently, we do. At least, that’s what Hollywood is counting…
Review: A Simple Favor
A Simple Favor is a tough one to process and define. It’s a quirky crime drama that goes quite dark, but in a relatively light way. As weird as it…
Quickie Review: Beirut
Beirut is a fairly standard spy thriller and political drama that takes place primarily in 1982 but still feels relevant and timely given the perpetual, seemingly futile efforts to secure…
