Review of Logan Lucky (2017)

By Ray Pride (544) for Newcity (539) on 25 Aug 2017

Review of Brigsby Bear (2017)

By Ray Pride (544) for Newcity (539) on 03 Aug 2017

Review of Atomic Blonde (2017)

By Ray Pride (544) for Newcity (539) on 30 Jul 2017

Review of War for the Planet of the Apes (2017)

Review of The Beguiled (2017)

By Ray Pride (544) for Newcity (539) on 14 Jul 2017

It's a Sofia Coppola film through and through, hushed, decorous, communicating through the placement of furnishings and the rustle of costumes…

Review of The Little Hours (2017)

By Ray Pride (544) for Newcity (539) on 14 Jul 2017

Review of The B-Side: Elsa Dorfman's Portrait Photography (2017)

By Ray Pride (544) for Newcity (539) on 04 Jul 2017

Review of Baby Driver (2017)

By Ray Pride (544) for Newcity (539) on 29 Jun 2017

Boisterous, crackerjack, bubblegum power-pop, adrenaline-stoking coolly-choreographed manic action, fragrant with delight in its own substantial…

Review of Transformers: The Last Knight (2017)

By Ray Pride (544) for Newcity (539) on 20 Jun 2017

There's careening genius in the antic too-muchness with it onslaught of zoom and crash, of non sequitur and nonsense under the graphomanic…

Review of The Book of Henry (2017)

By Ray Pride (544) for Newcity (539) on 20 Jun 2017

An overstuffed, genre-leaping monstrosity that has great ambition and very little taste, most of it p----poor…

Review of I, Daniel Blake (2016)
