THE LITTLE THINGS MOVIE REVIEW

Denzel Washington is a Deke, a cop who upon returning from his small town to his old stomping grounds of LA, discovers that a current hunt for a serial killer seems similar to that one that got away from him years before. An uncomfortable team-up between him and ‘holy roller’ cop Jim (Rami Malek) leads to a certainty that unmistakably weird Albert Sparma (Jared Leto) is the man they’re looking for. But this ‘doesn’t play by the rules’ cop and this ‘by the book’ cop might just come to some uncomfortable realizations about themselves in their quest for justice. And audiences might come to some uncomfortable realizations about not really getting what they signed up for. And we might want to start a ‘go fund me’ upon discovering one of our critics is functionally illiterate. Tune in to hear what Chris, Adrian, Frank, and Ryan have to say.

Christopher Lawrence Cox (Founder, Da Boss)

Born in the wilds of northern Virginia, in 1992 Chris managed to put all of his survival skills to use and barely escaped with his life to Austin Texas, where ever since he’s dabbled in everything from plumber’s assistant to sandwich maker, from band to bar management. An opportunity to see theatrical release films for free by becoming a critic on a local public access show called “The Reel Deal” turned into a full-time job when Chris and his friends decided to take it to the internet. They built the site Spill.com, adding multiple podcasts and animated features, to no small amount of success. During this time, a fortuitous friendship sprung up between Chris and young Brian Salisbury, who was also a local film critic, and they merged their forces of will, and their laundry list of ideas for shows, to eventually build this paradise you see before you.

Adrian El Critico (Screener Squad)

Though born and raised in Chicago, this film critic is Mexican to the bone. Adrian has been watching movies since he was a child, many of which might not have been age appropriate. Still, he couldn’t get enough. All throughout his life, friends and family would look to him for his recommendations and reviews on whatever films had come their way. Inspired earlier in life by the likes of Ebert and Roper at The Movies and then later Spill.com, Adrian decided film criticism and analysis provided a great outlet to further his love of film. He began to craft his reviews and thoughts on film in ways he thought would be accessible to devout film hounds as well as the casual viewer. Mixing in jokes, entertaining observations and robust critical analysis, Adrian El Critico may be new to OneOfUs, but he is already making a name for himself on our site. If Horror movies are your thing, get ready to hear his voice.
