Chris Ward is an enigma. He travels around and rips as hard as anyone on the tour, but he does his traveling and ripping quietly. A documentary on Chris was long overdue. The documentary-style movie that features Wardo at his best. Most of the footage is raw and medium quality, but that fits Ward well; he's a working man's hero. Locations: Hawaii, Mexico - Puerto Escondido, Tahiti, Indonesia, South Africa, California, Europe, South America, Australia. Music: Sublime, White Zombie, Youth Brigade

I write for a diversity-focused film review blog, so I’ll be honest: I really wanted to like Pretty Lethal. Starring Maddie Ziegler, Lana Condor, Iris Apatow, Avantika, and Millicent Simmonds, Amazon Prime’s new thriller seemed like it would be a girl power movie about dancers with a horror action twist. Sort of a Suspiria for teens. But with shallow and unlikeable characters, a confusing plot, an overreliance on violence, and cringey dialogue, any fun the movie started out with was quickly lost. What was left was a faint echo of greater horror movies about dancers made before.
