Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy saw a lot of different movies this week. But that means you get 11 reviews from them even if its not a great lineup. Erik finds one big positive at the center of Sean Patrick Flanery’s directorial debut (Frank & Penelope) and Steve has a few non-negative things to say about the latest with Bruce Willis (White Elephant). There are fantastical narratives about the missing minutes of the Nixon tapes (18 ½) and the creation of a famous tower (Eiffel). Erik gets completely annoyed with the latest Blumhouse horror (Unhuman) and surprisingly unannoyed with the central character of the new horror film from Rob “Host” Savage (Dashcam). Gay relationships take center stage in comedy (Fire Island) and the true story of war poet Siegfried Sassoon in the latest from director Terence Davies (Benediction). Straight-to-video called and want the new Elsa Pataky action film from Netflix back (Interceptor) and “It Follows”’ Maika Monroe contends with another dangerous stalker (Watcher). Finally, David Cronenberg returns to the big screen after eight years and the guys see something new in it along with something old (Crimes of the Future).
