The Town (2010) 92% 3.5/4 EDIT “A crackling drama with a fine sense of both spatial relationships (thank director Ben Affleck) and character relationships (thank scripter Ben Affleck).” – Film Frenzy Mar 26, 2026 Full Review S.O.B. (1981) 82% 3.5/4 EDIT “As a searing satire about the underbelly of the Hollywood lifestyle, it still ranks as one of the best.” – Film Frenzy Mar 26, 2026 Full Review House of Wax (1953) 93% 3.5/4 EDIT “Far too many movies released in 3-D have relied on the novelty of the gimmick to cover up what would otherwise be a completely disposable film. But on its own two-dimensional terms, this one's a heckuva lot of fun.” – Film Frenzy Mar 26, 2026 Full Review Murder, My Sweet (1944) 94% 3.5/4 EDIT “Dick Powell, heretofore known as a jovial hoofer in splashy musicals, pulled off a complete career about-face with his concrete-tough performance in this film noir gem.” – Film Frenzy Mar 26, 2026 Full Review The Howling (1981) 76% 3.5/4 EDIT “Second only to 1941’s The Wolf Man as the best werewolf flick ever made.” – Film Frenzy Mar 26, 2026 Full Review Baby Doll (1956) 83% 3/4 EDIT “A movie so contentious that it was banned in a few countries, pulled in several U.S. cities, and denounced by the Archbishop of New York, who forbade his flock from seeing it "under pain of sin" (now there’s a pull quote for the ads!).” – Film Frenzy Mar 22, 2026 Full Review Spartacus (1960) 93% 3.5/4 EDIT “An epic that engages the intellect as well as the eyes and the emotions.” – Film Frenzy Mar 22, 2026 Full Review Rabbit Hole (2010) 86% 3.5/4 EDIT “Rabbit Hole makes sure to never betray the material with maudlin melodrama or cheap theatrics.” – Film Frenzy Mar 22, 2026 Full Review Paranoia (2013) 8% 1/4 EDIT “I saw worse films in 2013 (albeit not many), but I saw nothing that year as soul-crushingly boring as this ridiculous and risible techno-turkey.” – Film Frenzy Mar 22, 2026 Full Review The King and I (1956) 93% 3/4 EDIT “While Brynner's flamboyant turn borders on hammy, his exuberance and sheer delight in tackling the role is impossible to resist.” – Film Frenzy Mar 22, 2026 Full Review Carousel (1956) 63% 2/4 EDIT “It frequently plays like a dour version of It’s a Wonderful Life.” – Film Frenzy Mar 22, 2026 Full Review The Big Chill (1983) 70% 4/4 EDIT “As universal in its ambitions and appeal as it is specific in its characterizations and timeframe.” – Film Frenzy Mar 22, 2026 Full Review A Streetcar Named Desire (1951) 97% 4/4 EDIT “An unqualified masterpiece.” – Film Frenzy Mar 22, 2026 Full Review Mogambo (1953) 79% 3/4 EDIT “While Mogambo pales in comparison to Red Dust, it works well enough on its own.” – Film Frenzy Mar 22, 2026 Full Review Red Dust (1932) 91% 3.5/4 EDIT “Cheerfully vulgar in almost every respect.” – Film Frenzy Mar 22, 2026 Full Review Donnie Darko (2001) 88% 3.5/4 EDIT “Like Being John Malkovich and 2001: A Space Odyssey and too few others, this is one of those mind-melting cinematic achievements.” – Film Frenzy Mar 22, 2026 Full Review The Boy Friend (1971) 78% 2.5/4 EDIT “The original numbers are far more entertaining than the ones which merely borrow heavily from Busby Berkeley.” – Film Frenzy Mar 22, 2026 Full Review Gypsy (1962) 73% 2.5/4 EDIT “As a theatrical property, Gypsy is considered one of the greatest of all stage musicals. As a motion picture, Gypsy isn’t bad, although greatness clearly remains out of its reach.” – Film Frenzy Mar 21, 2026 Full Review Damn Yankees (1958) 76% 2.5/4 EDIT “The mise-en-scenes are often found wanting (almost certainly from calls made by stage director Abbott rather than film director Donen).” – Film Frenzy Mar 21, 2026 Full Review Guys and Dolls (1955) 91% 3/4 EDIT “Brando is an interesting — and successful — choice, bringing his Method maneuvers (Sinatra derisively nicknamed him "Mumbles") to the role of Sky Masterson.” – Film Frenzy Mar 21, 2026 Full Review Brigadoon (1954) 75% 2/4 EDIT “The artificiality is pronounced to a distracting degree -- sets don’t look like magical, off-kilter locations in Scotland but merely like sets.” – Film Frenzy Mar 21, 2026 Full Review She Said (2022) 88% 3.5/4 EDIT “One of the 10 best films of 2022, She Said isn’t a flashy flick about hotshot journalists; rather, it takes the nose-to-the-grindstone approach of 1976’s All the President’s Men.” – Film Frenzy Mar 19, 2026 Full Review Sleuth (2007) 37% 1.5/4 EDIT “Sleuth is no longer a fun whodunnit; it’s been transformed into a baffling whatthehellweretheythinking?” – Film Frenzy Mar 14, 2026 Full Review Sleuth (1972) 90% 3.5/4 EDIT “A delicious adaptation of Anthony Shaffer’s stage hit.” – Film Frenzy Mar 14, 2026 Full Review Secretary (2002) 78% 3/4 EDIT “An honest and nonjudgmental movie about the unorthodox ways that lonely people often connect in an increasingly disconnected world.” – Film Frenzy Mar 14, 2026 Full Review
