65 Review 65 (2023) Film Review, a movie written and directed by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods and starring Adam Driver, Ariana Greenblatt, Chloe Coleman, Nika King and Brian Dare. Producer Sam Raimi helps bring an exciting, yet somewhat lackluster, science fiction action/adventure yarn to the screen with the new film, 65. Filmmakers Scott Beck and Bryan Woods do better directing this new movie than they did writing it. The script is basically enough for a movie half the running time of 65 but the creature effects are outstanding and save the movie from becoming a run-of-the-mill crash survivor picture....

Past Lives Review Past Lives (2023) Film Review, a movie written and directed by Celine Song and starring Greta Lee, Teo Yoo, John Magaro, Moon Seung-ah, Leem Seung-min, Jack Alberts and Jane Kim.

Valhalla Rising is frustrating in the fact that its first act is so strong, characters only speak when necessary, the bluster of the studio system is gone, and it is filmed with an extremely competent lens. In Valhalla Rising’s third act, the momentum is all but gone from the film. The viewer is reduced to watching characters literally wander around in the wild. The film almost begins as a character study of its protagonist – Norse warrior One-Eye (Mads Mikkelsen) – in 1000 AD....
