RENTAL FAMILY: Filmmaker Hikari produces a bittersweet film about an American actor in Japan being hired to be a stand-in for strangers. A wonderful performance from Brendan Fraser. Its overall concept, while unique, becomes a bit manipulative in hindsight. Still an enjoyable crowd-pleaser. #filmsky

NOW YOU SEE ME: NOW YOU DON'T - As someone who's not really a fan of this magician heist series, the third entry is at least serviceably entertaining. There's good camaraderie between series regulars & the newbies, plus a very laughable villain in Rosamund Pike. It's fine, yet forgettable. #filmsky

THE RUNNING MAN: Edgar Wright's adaptation of Stephen King's dystopian novel is fun until it isn't. Its themes of class disparity, corporate greed, & media manipulation all work, but it's messy with an uneven script, episodic structure, & third-act catalysts that disrupt the film's ending. #filmsky

Haven’t done a #Criterion update in a bit. This haul is from the recent flash sale, September pre-orders, and the Barnes & Noble sale in July. All incredible films to some degree. #longlivephysicalmedia #filmsky

SHELBY OAKS: YouTuber Chris Stuckmann's debut is a low-budget horror that efficiently blends procedural, found footage & faux documentary in its scares & concept, with a solid turn from Camille Sullivan. However, the derivative storyline & abrupt ending make the final result decent at best. #filmsky
