Rating	Title \| Year	Author	Quote
	Angel Has Fallen (2019)	Fred Topel	Not every film can be John Wick, but can we at least expect clear lighting and a functional steady camera? Posted Aug 21, 2019 Edit critic review
	Blinded by the Light (2019)	Fred Topel	Javed is probably the ideal version of the underdog, leading a story in which one triumphs enough over adversity to become the protagonist of a movie inspired by his life and inspiring others to realize that their voices matter. Posted Aug 15, 2019 Edit critic review
	Stuber (2019)	Fred Topel	Your laughter will arrive in 90 minutes. Posted Jul 13, 2019 Edit critic review
	The Art of Self-Defense (2019)	Fred Topel	The Art of Self-Defense definitely makes a point about mistaking toxic masculinity for empowerment. Posted Jul 13, 2019 Edit critic review
	Midsommar (2019)	Fred Topel	Indiana Jones' Temple of Doom's got nothing on the Attestupan in Midsommar. Posted Jul 02, 2019 Edit critic review
	Yesterday (2019)	Fred Topel	The best that the writer of Notting Hill, Four Weddings and a Funeral, and Love, Actually could come up with was a take on the Friend Zone? Ellie says Jack "put her in the wrong column." I guess that's the classy British way of saying it. Posted Jun 28, 2019 Edit critic review
	Annabelle Comes Home (2019)	Fred Topel	The scariest toy story of the year. Posted Jun 28, 2019 Edit critic review
	Toy Story 4 (2019)	Fred Topel	We're four levels deep into Toy Story now, so we know all the fun comes with deep personal reflection, and that's why these films resonate well into adulthood. Posted Jun 18, 2019 Edit critic review
	The Dead Don't Die (2019)	Fred Topel	The Dead Don't Die is exactly what one would expect a Jim Jarmusch zombie movie to be. At least, it's exactly what anyone should expect a Jim Jarmusch zombie movie to be. Posted Jun 14, 2019 Edit critic review
	Men in Black: International (2019)	Fred Topel	They can do anything they want in visual effects now, but they can't write a funny script. Men in Black: International is loaded with more aliens, MIB gadgets, and firepower, but there aren't any jokes. Posted Jun 13, 2019 Edit critic review
