Carsten Knox reviews The Life Of Chuck, with Tom Hiddleston, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Karen Gillan. Stephen King adaptation hits and misses: halifaxbloggers.ca/flawintheiris/… #moviereview #nowplaying #incinemas Flaw In The Iris



The Surfer is a tribute to the Ozploitation movies of the '70s and ’80s, while also being that self-contained thing that’s becoming a genre unto itself: A Nicolas Cage movie. Carsten's review: halifaxbloggers.ca/flawintheiris/… #moviereview #streamingreviews Flaw In The Iris


F1 The Movie is a spectacular blockbuster that delivers high-impact kinetic thrills, a machine-tooled, A+ popcorn picture, says Carsten. This despite a predictable, exposition-ridden script: halifaxbloggers.ca/flawintheiris/… #moviereview #nowplaying #incinemas Flaw In The Iris


NEW: Carsten Knox reviews Jurassic World: Rebirth, with Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, and Jonathan Bailey. Decent franchise restarter improves on the three previous: halifaxbloggers.ca/flawintheiris/… #moviereview #nowplaying #incinemas Flaw In The Iris


Jurassic World: Rebirth is an OK B-movie with an A-movie budget. Carsten can’t complain too much about a reasonably well-made monster picture, well cast, with a few decent dinosaur-chasing-people set-pieces: halifaxbloggers.ca/flawintheiris/… #moviereview #incinemas Flaw In The Iris


NEW: Carsten Knox reviews 40 Acres, with Danielle Deadwyler, Michael Greyeyes, and Kataem O'Connor. Intense, bloody, homegrown post-apocalyptic thriller: halifaxbloggers.ca/flawintheiris/… #moviereview #nowplaying #incinemas Flaw In The Iris


In some ways, Jurassic World: Rebirth can’t lose. It just needs to be better than the last three films in the franchise, says Carsten, and that shouldn’t be too hard. His review: halifaxbloggers.ca/flawintheiris/… #moviereview #nowplaying #incinemas Flaw In The Iris


What director RT Thorne brings to 40 Acres is an intimacy and care to detail in a very exclusive world that provides a level of plausibility. A few moments of humour don’t go astray, either: halifaxbloggers.ca/flawintheiris/… #moviereview #nowplaying #incinemas Flaw In The Iris


The Critic is gorgeous to look at, shot with a conscious and impressive use of deep shadow and saturated colour. Carsten calls it compelling drama, committed to its mood, but with a dark heart: halifaxbloggers.ca/flawintheiris/… #moviereview #streamingreviews Flaw In The Iris


Characters are prone to saying the most obvious stuff, but none of it matters: F1 The Movie‘s big-budget, big-picture qualities — location work, cinematography, editing, and sound design — leaves all the nonsense in the dust: halifaxbloggers.ca/flawintheiris/… #moviereview Flaw In The Iris


Alex Garland’s script for 28 Years Later, if anything, is too obvious. It delivers a clever circular character element, but it’s a cliffhanger for future films. That’s annoying, says Carsten: halifaxbloggers.ca/flawintheiris/… #moviereview #nowplaying #incinemas Flaw In The Iris



NEW: Carsten Knox reviews The Old Guard 2, with Charlize Theron, Henry Golding, and Uma Thurman. Deeply mortal, deeply flawed: halifaxbloggers.ca/flawintheiris/… #moviereview #streamingreviews Flaw In The Iris



Carsten has almost no memory of the first Old Guard, so clearly it didn’t make much of an impact. He's maybe more likely to remember the sequel, but for all the wrong reasons: halifaxbloggers.ca/flawintheiris/… #moviereview #streamingreviews Flaw In The Iris



The Old Guard 2 seems entirely concerned with characters’ secrets, but when they are revealed we wonder why the information was withheld in the first place. It's action nonsense without any jeopardy, says Carsten: halifaxbloggers.ca/flawintheiris/… #moviereview Flaw In The Iris


New on DVD/Blu-ray: Sinners, with Michael B. Jordan, Hailee Steinfeld, and Delroy Lindo. Southern Gothic and the Blues: halifaxbloggers.ca/flawintheiris/… #moviereview Flaw In The Iris


New on DVD/Blu-ray: The Death of a Unicorn, with Paul Rudd, Jenna Ortega, and Richard E. Grant. Bloody myth goes lame, says Carsten: halifaxbloggers.ca/flawintheiris/… #moviereview Flaw In The Iris
