KINDS OF KINDNESS is kinda wild
by Rosalie Kicks Old Sport and Editor in Chief
If one is looking for a feel good flick, this ain’t it. Kinds of Kindness will challenge minds, lead to complicated emotions, and most likely have one pining for a meaningless film to watch afterwards or a reason to eat their feelings via an ice cream cone with lots of jimmies.
HUMANIST VAMPIRE SEEKING CONSENTING SUICIDAL PERSON is fangtastic
by Rosalie Kicks, Old Sport & Editor in Chief
After the opening events of this movie, I knew that I was going to love it. The plot would have had to take a rather sharp turn to change my initial opinion and instead, as the picture progressed I found myself more enthralled.
Read MoreTHE BIKERIDERS boasts a cast that can do no wrong
by Rosalie Kicks, Old Sport & Editor in Chief
I do not like motorcycles. They are obnoxiously loud death traps that often cut me off on the highway. So, why did I see The Bikeriders? Well, with this stacked cast, there was no way I was going to let this picture pass me by.

Read MoreHOLLYWOOD PRIDE: PANDORA'S BOX
by Rosalie Kicks, Old Sport & Editor in Chief
Pandora’s Box tells the sordid account of Lulu (Louise Brooks), a bewitching young woman whose choices are not only the downfall of herself, but all those around her. This is not a story for the faint of heart.

Disc Dispatch: BACK FROM THE DEAD is a flick you won’t regret sliding into your player

FURIOSA: A MAD MAX SAGA is absolutely thrilling
by Rosalie Kicks, Old Sport and Editor in Chief
I was pleasantly surprised with how much I gave a damn about this. Blockbusters are not typically my cup of tea, but in this case I can’t stress it enough: see Furiosa on the biggest screen possible with sound so loud that it rattles your bones.
Read MoreBACK TO BLACK is a standard biopic with amazing performances
by Rosalie Kicks, Old Sport & Editor in Chief
Back to Black left me with questions. It shows Winehouse’s issues with addiction, depression, and desire to perform as a singer. What I feel it leaves out is empathy.

LISA FRANKENSTEIN is fun but lacks connective tissue
by Rosalie Kicks, Staff Writer and Editor in Chief
There is a lot going on with Lisa Frankenstein, and it is easy to get swallowed up in the film due to the kitschy eighties ephemera, brightly colored palette and electric personalities. However, where the film fails is by not having any connective tissue to bring it together.
