"Elvis...[chooses] to engage in pure exhibitionism for its own sake... there’s an intensity to the vision here that feels all too lacking in contemporary blockbusters of this size and scale."

Peter Strickland's latest, #FluxGourmet, is decidedly not great.  "Flux Gourmet’s stiff performance art world satire could use a push past its gross-out faux extremity into something actually horrific." — @krsmello

 says its no better or worse than the studio's recent spate of mid films:  "Works best in its first half...[which] feels novel in comparison to the tired clichés peddled in [its] back-half."
—
Meanwhile, #Spiderhead is more than a disappointment.  "...the end result is as flavorless as any dull, A24-branded, allegedly “elevated” genre fare. It’s pretty. It’s sometimes wryly funny. It’s trite." @colonelmortimer

"Jerry and Marge Go Large isn’t much for challenging viewers, but for the inclined, it’s quite successful at working its way into the heart’s soft spots with a warm touch and appealing sincerity." says @ayeen.forootan on #JerryAndMargeGoLarge

We had a lot of content yesterday, so our #kicking We had a lot of content yesterday, so our #kickingthecanon comes a day late. But it's worth it. Ryan talks Stanley Kubrick's Lolita in honor of the film's 60th anniversary yesterday:  "[Holds a] quietly pivotal place in [Kubrick's] oeuvre."

#MadGod is coming to @Shudder
 later this week. @morrisycy took on @madphilg's beautiful work a while back:  "Tippett’s labor of love [offers] nothing less than a ravishing sensory experience of lurid phantasmagoria"

#Moneyboys is streaming on #Mubi tomorrow. @morrisycy was... disappointed:  "Moneyboys looks good to the eye but sees nothing new, regurgitating... the more inspired reveries of erotic ennui that directors like Tsai Ming-liang effortlessly dream up."
—
And @krsmello was unimpressed with #Offseason as well, "when things come to a head and Keating has to break tension with a scare, he gives in to some bad aesthetic impulses."

Mitch using Jersey Boys to interrogate "the full scope of the machine that made [Eastwood] and Valli’s cultural ascendancy possible...a grander, generational condemnation."
