This is a significant step in our flax renaissance, says Stephen Archibald, watch out. And what’s not to like about beach cobbles suspended by flax rope? Large and small things noticed by our keenest observer:

Highest 2 Lowest isn't all fun and games, says Carsten. But it’s got Denzel Washington, as magnetic as he always is, Jeffrey Wright offering terrific support, and a late appearance by A$AP Rocky is welcome:

The dystopian vision of The Long Walk is direct and to the point, says Carsten: We’re in an alternative America circa the 1970s, a few years after a war. The violence, when it comes, is bloody and graphic:

Substantial completion of the massive Cogswell District was recently marked with a community celebration, says Stephen Archibald, complete with bouncy castle. What he's been noticing around town lately:

Carsten's always believed that the best ending is the one that audiences don’t realize they want, but the script has seeded for them — he didn’t quite get that in All Of You. Credit for the effort, though:

The Smashing Machine deftly undermines some of the Rocky-adjacent sports movie tropes, while at the same time occasionally indulging in them. And it’s a pleasure to see Dwayne Johnson stretch, says Carsten:

These days the only thing that brings Stephen Archibald to the Granville Street Mall is the occasional visit to an art gallery. But it's also about what he notices along the way:

As the truth of what’s actually going on at Bone Lake is revealed, it’s just so incredibly stupid the movie can only resort to obvious gore mode to bring the final act thrills. Carsten's review:

Nights at the Shore Club aren’t for the deeper cuts; it’s for that communal feeling when we're all basking in the familiarity of the music, says Trev. His review and photos of Matt Mays are on HAFILAX:

We get moments between the leads in All Of You that feel real and true, says Carsten, and a couple that feel overplayed. But this unresolved thing between them persists and gets complicated:
