FANATICAL ABOUT FILM! Movies are our religion and the theater our church. Our gods are named Tarantino, Anderson and Scorsese. We attend services 3-4 times a week and take our communion in the form of soda and popcorn. We offer up these reviews in hopes of pleasing our deities. We are a married couple and we are both passionate about movies, and we hope you’ll find it interesting to read our “he said, she said” viewpoints. Oftentimes we agree but, as evidenced by many a late night discussion shared among film fans, it’s more fun when we don’t. Please share your own comments on our reviews. We encourage all forms of respectful debate. We are, after all, “Fanatical About Film”!

[screenzealots]

A lean, tense, and refreshingly straightforward thriller, it delivers enough suspense, brutality, and unpredictability to satisfy fans of sniper-driven action.

"Seven Snipers"

[screenzealots]

Funny, quirky, and full of personality, this darkly comedic hidden gem balances offbeat charm with genuine heart, even when its story treads familiar ground.

"Loves Company"

[screenzealots]

A nostalgic, crowd-pleasing space Western that channels the spirit of classic Star Wars with old school adventure, practical effects, and plenty of fan-friendly charm.

"The Mandalorian and Grogu"

[screenzealots]

A coming-of-age story that captures the laziness of summer a little too well.

"An Autumn Summer"

[screenzealots]

Thoughtful indie horror that uses the supernatural to explore bullying, isolation, trauma, and the monsters cruelty can create.

"The Dead Place"

[screenzealots]

celebrates Carroll not as a flawless icon, but as a deeply human, complicated, and undeniably badass woman who changed the cultural conversation simply by refusing to stay quiet.

"Ask E. Jean"

[screenzealots]

Underneath all that style, there’s surprisingly little substance holding this film together.

"In the Grey"

[screenzealots]

A killer whale horror movie should either leave you thrilled or laughing along with the madness, but this just drifts along before beaching itself completely.

"Killer Whale"

[screenzealots]

This character-driven legal drama about integrity, burnout, and the cost of doing what’s right is just happy to tell a grown-up, straightforward story.

"One of the Good Ones"

[screenzealots]

A tense, contained psychological thriller built around a killer hook, but pacing issues don’t do the film any favors.

"An Enemy Within"

[screenzealots]

Despite a clever premise and a clear affection for horror culture, the film never quite comes together in a satisfying way.

"Dead Media"

[screenzealots]

A memorable, moving piece about grief, filmmaking, and what happens when fantasy consumes reality.

"Projection"

[screenzealots]

A beautiful film that's full of noise, color, and creativity that pays tribute to the often overlooked artistry behind movie costumes.

"Diamonds (Diamanti)"

[screenzealots]

A melancholic exploration of sisterhood, parental absence, and the fear of watching someone slip away while feeling powerless to stop it.

"Forever Your Maternal Animal"

[screenzealots]

Captures the absurd extremes people reach for when stability feels permanently out of reach.

"$Positions"

[screenzealots]

If you like your horror loud, messy, and just a little bit dumb, this one is a solid midnight snack.

"New Fears Eve"

[screenzealots]

Heartfelt and deeply reverent, this intimate documentary offers a compassionate look at faith, tradition, and a community in decline.

"Been Here Stay Here"
