Review: ‘Love Gets A Room’
The Show Must Go On… Even At a Warsaw Ghetto In 1942
Although we here at Punch Drunk Critics cover any and everything related to movies and TV shows, the theater is still a one-of-a-kind way to be entertained. It’s something about actors and actresses dedicated to their craft, who put out a new performance every night (sometimes even twice a day) and have an intimate relationship…

Review: ‘Heroes Of The Golden Mask’
Even Stellar Animation Cannot Save This Simplistic Take On Chinese Mythology
I feel kind of bad for any animated movie (or even live-action far that matter) that comes out in the shadow of Across The Spider-Verse, because the bar has been set very high forcing whatever comes out this year to have to be graded on a curve. That said, Arcana Studios’ latest film Heroes of…

Review: ‘Mending The Line’
A Predictable Tale Of PTSD And Healing Gets Elevated By Powerhouse Performances Across The Board
As many of our Middle East wars are drawing down, Hollywood is continuing its trend of capturing the experience soldiers had while in that war, but more importantly, telling intimate stories of the brave men and women as they adjust back to civilian life once their tours of duty are over. Last year’s Causeway explored…

Review: ‘Assassin Club’
Henry Golding Attempts His ‘John Wick’ Moment With Mixed Results
I’m actively rooting for Henry Golding’s success. No really, I am! Ever since he broke into mainstream success in Crazy Rich Asians, he’s been “just one” movie away from mega-stardom. He almost had the chance in Snake Eyes and has been rumored to be the next James Bond just as much as Idris Elba has…

Review: ‘Buddy Games: Spring Awakening’
Josh Duhamel’s Attempt to Replicate Adam Sandler’s Style Delivers Laughs But Leaves Much to be Desired
I always thought it was funny that people got so mad at Adam Sandler for making films with his friends in an exotic locale with a beautiful woman cast as his wife, as if that isn’t the #1 log line for dream job. One person who wasn’t mad about it was Josh Duhamel, as evident…

Review: ‘Johnny & Clyde’
A Disjointed, Out-There Visit To An Age-Old Plotline Brings Plenty Of New But Nothing Worthwhile
In the 90 years since Bonnie & Clyde went down in a hail of state Police issued lead. The immediate response to the two was horror, yes, but also…curiosity? Most wouldn’t admit it but there was something inherently romantic in their “us against the world” way, something very Romeo and Juliet in the way they…

Review: ‘Citadel’
Richard Madden And Priyanka Chopra Jonas Get Their Jason Bourne On In Prime Video’s Espionage Series
At this moment, Amazon essentially has the GDP of a small nation, allowing them to take big swings when it comes to content for their Original Programming. They invested almost $1 billion in their Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power series last year, and with their newest series, Citadel, they are taking yet…
