IR Film Review: ASTEROID CITY [Focus]
The context of "Asteroid City" reflects in its idea of reflexive personality. While its fuel comes from the itterance in many ways of director Wes Anderson's previous film "The French Dispatch", it does come off as a little more disjointed than the superior "The Grand Budapest Hotel". That said, all of Anderson's films are brilliant in many ways, even those that aren't exactly perfect.
IR Film Review: AMSTERDAM [20th Century Studios]
Making an original film with a period backing with unusual if not eccentric characters can either work gloriously or become hit-or-miss scenario depending on the beats the story takes. "Amsterdam", a new faux comedy from writer/director David O. Russell, is particular in many ways that always populate his films. However it depends on certain edge points.
IR Film Review: THE SUICIDE SQUAD [Warner Brothers]

IR Film Review: BIRDS OF PREY (& The Fantabulous Emancipation Of One Harley Quinn) [Warner Brothers]
The trajectory of "Birds Of Prey” is visualizing the identity of Harley Quinn and her journey to become that whom she truly is. The movie tries in earnest to portray this road of discovery in Quinn's own special way which is undeniably entertaining and edgy in its own bizarro progression.
