Blinded By the Light Review

Javed’s Springsteen set Walkman plays like a magic conch, and like Spongebob, he listens to every word and takes them literally.

Where'd You Go, Bernadette Review

It’s depressing that August is literally the dumping ground for incomplete, underdeveloped movies, but it’s just painful that one of those underdeveloped movies would be a Linklater feature.

Dora and the Lost City of Gold Review

Moner comes onboard as if she was Clockwork Orange-d into binging endless episodes of Dora the Explorer until she became one with the titular character, which she did.
