Mark Reviews Movies - Film reviews and criticism by Mark Dujsik

The Smashing Machine	The narrative follows the usual formula.	Play Dirty	The actual plot of this tale is so ridiculous and convoluted that Parker ends up playing a secondary role to it.	Good Boy	The movie doesn't quite live up to the novelty of its premise or the charm of its main canine actor.
V/H/S/Halloween	Every segment of V/H/S/Halloween has something going for it.	Bone Lake	It becomes frustrating how far ahead of the characters we are.	Anemone	On a story level, the movie is shallow to its core.
Coyotes	Director Colin Minihan attempts to inject some humor into this straightforward horror offering, but even that feels like a bare-minimum level of effort.	Are We Good?	Are We Good? gets at some deeper truths about grief beyond the jokes.	Killing Faith	Instead of embracing the mystery and the oddity of the story, the filmmakers play it all a bit too safe.
