She Said (2022) 88% 3.5/4 EDIT “One of the 10 best films of 2022, She Said isn’t a flashy flick about hotshot journalists; rather, it takes the nose-to-the-grindstone approach of 1976’s All the President’s Men.” – Film Frenzy Mar 19, 2026 Full Review Sleuth (2007) 37% 1.5/4 EDIT “Sleuth is no longer a fun whodunnit; it’s been transformed into a baffling whatthehellweretheythinking?” – Film Frenzy Mar 14, 2026 Full Review Sleuth (1972) 90% 3.5/4 EDIT “A delicious adaptation of Anthony Shaffer’s stage hit.” – Film Frenzy Mar 14, 2026 Full Review Secretary (2002) 78% 3/4 EDIT “An honest and nonjudgmental movie about the unorthodox ways that lonely people often connect in an increasingly disconnected world.” – Film Frenzy Mar 14, 2026 Full Review Retribution (1987) 3/4 EDIT “The film displays some humanizing grace notes usually exempt from this sort of gory thriller.” – Film Frenzy Mar 14, 2026 Full Review Silk Stockings (1957) 100% 3/4 EDIT “The picture effectively marked Astaire’s retirement from dancing -- it was his last significant on-screen hoofing, and he’s as sublime as ever.” – Film Frenzy Mar 14, 2026 Full Review The Band Wagon (1953) 95% 3/4 EDIT “It offers plenty of astute observations in its skewering of backstage shenanigans among artists.” – Film Frenzy Mar 14, 2026 Full Review Easter Parade (1948) 91% 3.5/4 EDIT “It allowed two of our greatest stars their only opportunity to make movie magic together.” – Film Frenzy Mar 14, 2026 Full Review Garfield: The Movie (2004) 14% 1/4 EDIT “The movie will feel like a slow crawl through broken glass for anyone old enough to have mastered the fine art of shoelace-tying.” – Film Frenzy Mar 14, 2026 Full Review Ellery Queen (1975) 3.5/4 EDIT “The pilot for what ranks as one of the top detective shows of the 1970s.” – Film Frenzy Mar 14, 2026 Full Review City Lights (1931) 95% 4/4 EDIT “The film is one superb vignette after another.” – Film Frenzy Mar 14, 2026 Full Review Somewhere in Time (1980) 52% 2.5/4 EDIT “It was savaged by critics and performed poorly at the box office. Yet according to Andrew Lloyd Webber, love never dies, and apparently neither does Somewhere in Time.” – Film Frenzy Mar 14, 2026 Full Review The Ghost (1963) 3/4 EDIT “Director Riccardo Freda offers interesting visuals that help sustain the proper mood of Gothic ghoulishness.” – Film Frenzy Mar 14, 2026 Full Review Finian's Rainbow (1968) 47% 2/4 EDIT “Then as now, Finian’s Rainbow remains one of Coppola’s most debated pictures, with many finding it enchanting and others declaring it execrable.” – Film Frenzy Mar 14, 2026 Full Review Dead Again (1991) 81% 3.5/4 EDIT “A murder-mystery, a supernatural yarn, and a love story all rolled into one irresistible package.” – Film Frenzy Mar 14, 2026 Full Review Little Amélie or the Character of Rain (2025) 98% 3/4 EDIT “An animated exercise in existentialism.” – Film Frenzy Mar 14, 2026 Full Review Cinderella Man (2005) 80% 3/4 EDIT “No filmmaker in his right mind would want his boxing picture released a scant few months after Million Dollar Baby, but Cinderella Man is so structurally and tonally different that it might as well be about jai alai.” – Film Frenzy Mar 14, 2026 Full Review First Reformed (2017) 94% 3.5/4 EDIT “A haunting and meditative work.” – Film Frenzy Mar 13, 2026 Full Review Beyond the Valley of the Dolls (1970) 76% 2.5/4 EDIT “Caught in the right frame of mind, it offers plenty of groovy sights. But the violent climax is highly problematic.” – Film Frenzy Mar 12, 2026 Full Review Valley of the Dolls (1967) 32% 1.5/4 EDIT “The newfound envelope-pushing in cinema, tested so brilliantly in 1967 by Bonnie and Clyde and The Graduate, is botched here.” – Film Frenzy Mar 12, 2026 Full Review Team America: World Police (2004) 77% 2/4 EDIT “Once the novelty of the marionettes wears off, the movie has trouble sustaining its length, its laughs, and even its level of outrageousness.” – Film Frenzy Mar 12, 2026 Full Review Offside (2006) 94% 3.5/4 EDIT “It introduces us to a handful of endearing characters, in the process humanizing a nation that is only presented to the U.S. as a boogeyman threatening -- what’s the popular term? -- "our American way of life."” – Film Frenzy Mar 12, 2026 Full Review The Ice Pirates (1984) 17% 2/4 EDIT “For a far superior mix of science fiction and satire, just watch Mel Brooks’ Spaceballs again.” – Film Frenzy Mar 12, 2026 Full Review Uncut Gems (2019) 91% 3/4 EDIT “I’m not on the "Give Adam Sandler an Oscar nomination" bandwagon —- I’ve easily seen at least five leading male performances more varied and more interesting —- but he’s certainly up to the task presented to him by the Safdies.” – Film Frenzy Mar 12, 2026 Full Review The Hustler (1961) 94% 4/4 EDIT “Paul Newman clearly should have won the Oscar for his initial portrayal of Fast Eddie Felson (instead, fifth-billed Maximilian Schell won for a supporting role in Judgment at Nuremberg).” – Film Frenzy Mar 12, 2026 Full Review
