A charming, light comedy based around a catchy tune. Nothing surprising, but very warm & funny. I love that the movie dances around the fact that Paul Rudd is not a great singer and that’s kinda sorta why his character never made it past wedding bands. #SpringFest@phillyfilmsoc
OVER YOUR DEAD BODY - A high-concept, hyper-violent alt-rom-com that in lesser hands could’ve been contrived and flat. Luckily, this one has plenty of balls and heart … and one of the funniest vomit gags I’ve ever seen. @phillyfilmsoc#SpringFest
THE NAPA BOYS - An absolutely excruciating film. What could’ve been a decent 2 minute anti-comedy sketch cannibalizes its central conceit almost immediately. @phillyfilmsoc#SpringFest
MADDIE’S SECRET - Masterful tonal management around an issue that really shouldn’t be this funny. Somehow, Early makes it hilarious, smart, and quite moving. I was very touched by where it all lands. This flick was a huge surprise for me. I really loved this! @phillyfilmsoc
AGON - At what point does the mitigation of harm within an inherently violent sport cause the sport to lose its appeal? When does it stop being a sport and start being a mere game or activity? @phillyfilmsoc#SpringFest
LEVITICUS - Sometimes you come up with a dumb bit that has no outlet, so you just sit on it for years and years until the opportunity presents itself.
Ahem
IT SWALLOWS.
TUNER - A tried and true formula executed with charm and style. Fantastic lead performance. Also, is that Vince Masuka from Dexter, I see?
Hi, Vince Masuka from Dexter! @phillyfilmsoc#SpringFest
THESE ARE MY FRIENDS! - A Philly-based hangout film that very accurately captures a specific time and place — what’s not to love??
Apologies to the one dude, though: Hadestown was lame as Hell. Pun not intended, but I’m happy it occurred. @phillyfilmsoc#SpringFest
OBSESSION - A “be careful what you wish for” story executed in an ingeniously cruel way. Mean-spirited and absolutely diabolical, centered around two of the best horror performances maybe ever. I feel sick. I’m not okay.

I WANT YOUR SEX - Amazing that someone can make something like this AND something like MYSTERIOUS SKIN. Gregg Araki contains multitudes. The wolves on both of his shoulders are horny AF. God bless Olivia Wilde for going so hard.
