Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy will be at the Chicago Critics Film Festival this week, but they still managed to find time for ten new movie reviews. Well, one old one as they reviewed Ninja Thyberg’s powerful film about the porn industry at last year’s Sundance (Pleasure). This week did have a lot of other ickiness to it though including an erotic thriller no-show with Ashley Benson (Private Property) and the documentary about Dr. Religious Wacko who personally inseminated his patients (Our Father). Then maybe icky in a good way is at least one kids-who-can’t-control-their-own-powers film (The Innocents) and another about a virus running violently amok influencing the worst parts of our brains (The Sadness). But Steve also talks a positive pandemic story about music (Jazz Fest: A New Orleans Story) while Erik looks at Christina Ricci trying to protect her son from an entity in a lake (Monstrous) and Rebel Wilson wakes up after 20 years in a coma and still wants to be prom queen (Senior Year). Then for those looking for a breezy true matinee tale of war, the guys may have one for you (Operation Mincemeat). However if you were hoping Blumhouse Productions would offer something better than the 1984 adaptation of a Stephen King novel, you better listen to what Erik & Steve have to say about it first (Firestarter).
