#MechanicResurrection (2016) Exceptionally dumb fun, and possibly the best action movie this summer https://t.co/QE1oTgJtxE ★★★ #filmreview

[Jason Pirodsky @pirodsky]

[Jason Pirodsky @pirodsky]

#IndependenceDayResurgence (2016) Recreates the goofy charm of the original; suprisingly enjoyable https://t.co/tm0874YfwA ★★½ #filmreview

[Jason Pirodsky @pirodsky]

[Jason Pirodsky @pirodsky]

#TheWitch (2015) Puritan New England indie horror feels authentic, deeply unsettling https://t.co/Ywz5HDoopb ★★★½ #filmreview

[Jason Pirodsky @pirodsky]

[Jason Pirodsky @pirodsky]

#CaptainAmericaCivilWar (2016) Better Avengers movie than Avengers 2, but superhero fatigue sets in https://t.co/FD9Keb3t2K ★★★ #filmreview

[Jason Pirodsky @pirodsky]
