Evelyn Prentice (1934) brings my tour of 1934 to a strong finish. It's almost pre-Code at times, and it threads the Production Code needle very well. It also features some really strong performances. Nicely done! #MovieReview

A ★★★★ review of Evelyn Prentice (1934)

The movie starts out very well, with an almost pre-Code feel. I like the way cutting key scenes short keeps you guessing as to what's actually happening. As usual, both Myrna Loy and William Powell do well, while Una Merkel acts as a great sidekick and plot mover. But Isabel Jewell's portrayal deserves particular mention because her performance in the climactic courtroom scene is incredibly moving and strong. The end was a pleasant surprise. They threaded the Production Code needle with aplomb, which I appreciate very much.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie

Directed by Aaron Horvath, Michael Jelenic; starring Chris Pratt, Anya Taylor-Joy, Jack Black, Benny Safdie; written by Matthew Fogel (1h38m)

Mario, Luigi and Peach must rescue another princess kidnapped by their longtime enemy’s son.

The action is non-stop, the CGI impeccable and the script nonsensical, a result of trying to adapt to the screen an IP with no meaningful world building in the first place.

Rating: D

Mubi Monday: A Regular Woman (2019)

Movies young and old, from fright flicks to cracking comedies, from the latest blockbusters to the rarest cult treats.

Locked wants to be a tense battle of wits, but ends up a lopsided debate where Anthony Hopkins does all the heavy lifting over the phone. Somewhere between Fracture’s moral chess and Inside’s stylish emptiness, this one stalls out—proof that “complex” characters still need coherent ideas behind them.

AFCC member Stephen Michael Brown reviews #TheDrama saying "The film’s what-if fantasy conventions quickly become the WTF of it all in the landslide of Borgli’s Bridezillaverse." https://silverscreencapture.com/the-vow-is-in-free-fall-as-the-drama-unfolds/ #AFCC #MovieReview #ForTheLoveOfMovies
