A Night for Crime (1943)

"13 Going on 30" tracks the tricky transition from adolescence to adulthood.

"Boston Strangler" pulls the curtain back on a well-documented historical moment involving significant contributions from women reporters. 

This current year, as well as the past several, has seen a slowly building increase in something the horror genre has required for quite a while in this critic's opinion...originality. I've stated before that I am very hard to please when it comes to this vein of the film industry's offerings, always leaning more towards that which sends chills through my very being in lieu of buckets of blood and gore.

Based on the novel by Jennifer Mathieu and directed by Amy Poehler takes on intersectional feminism.

Hope has great characters, inventive ideas, an incredible imagination, a palpable intensity, and numerous other aspects that make it one of the best of the year. 

Overall, Lee Cronin’s The Mummy is plagued by numerous flaws, both from a quality and from a diversity standpoint.  The film relies on gore and loud sounds to drown out its flat script, flatter dialogue, and one-dimensional characters.
