Children of the Corn
(2023)

The little evil girl gives a pretty solid performance in this terrible movie.

Worse than unnecessary. The original film wasn't good to start with, and this isn't as good.

What I like about this movie is the nature of Sam Worthington's character... It's a fresh take.

You still have to sit through the young woman being viciously brutalized throughout the film. Sorry, I ain't gonna do it.

The problem with this was that parts of the plot made absolutely no sense.

It's pretty well done... It does deliver on what it does, and it's got really good light touches.

What you have here is a first-time filmmaker who has some skills but not the material in which to apply them.

I think it'll probably resonate with anyone who has gone through this experience themselves.

Die Hart the Movie
(2023)

It's kind of a one-note joke... But there's an incredible joy in watching Kevin Hart wink at the audience and satirize his own image.

Juniper

It feels personal in a lot of the details and production design... That elevates it from a generic story.

Jesus Revolution
(2023)
|
Christy Lemire
|
Although there are very frank discussions about the nature of faith, it doesn't feel as preachy or heavy-handed as a lot of these films do, which to me personally makes them off-putting.

It actually gets into some very interesting notions of conflict within this community.

Cocaine Bear
(2023)
|
Wade Major
|
The problem I have with Cocaine Bear is that it's not cheesy enough... It's too gory and sentimental to be funny, and it's not gory enough to be scary. It lives in this weird genre place where it's jack of all trades but master of none.

There are a lot of horror clichés here, but it does go to a place that I thought was a bit different. So I give it credit for that.

It's depressing quite frankly, but it moves quickly, it's short, and there's a cleverness to the concept.

Soderbergh has such an easy touch with this stuff. The character interactions are fun, but indeed the dance is where it's all going to.
