Review of Colossal (2017)

By Max Weiss (198) for Baltimore Magazine (197) on 19 Apr 2017

Review of The Fate of the Furious (2017)

Review of The Zookeeper's Wife (2017)

By Max Weiss (198) for Baltimore Magazine (197) on 05 Apr 2017

Review of Personal Shopper (2016)

By Max Weiss (198) for Baltimore Magazine (197) on 29 Mar 2017

Review of John Wick: Chapter 2 (2017)

By Max Weiss (198) for Baltimore Magazine (197) on 17 Feb 2017

Review of Toni Erdmann (2016)

By Max Weiss (198) for Baltimore Magazine (197) on 03 Feb 2017
