"Top Reviews" Section of the Culture Review Magazine, Last Week of June 2075

-The largest film story of this summer is the cinematic adaptation of Coe, as expected. The movie, produced and starring the same people who created the hit crime detective show, is a great, action-packed installment in the acclaimed series. The highlights of the film involve Warren Lott's performance as Adam Coe, perhaps the best of his career, the witty screenplay, and the ending twist, which we won't give away. Don't hesitate to see Coe, which starts streaming on July 1st.

-Don't be turned off by its indie beginnings; new movie Allie In The Light, following a fictional standup comedian played by The New Age star Matilda Eltmann, is more than worth your time. With a mix of well-paced plotting, laugh-out-loud comedy, and electric performances, this comedy will break even the most serious viewers, especially with the brilliant direction by legendary comedian Henry Giordano, who also has a hysterical supporting role. Turn your eyes to it on July 3rd.

-We wouldn't have one of these sections without a bad review, and we found a film worthy of it, not that it took much searching. Despite its massive budget and equally sized-marketing campaign, Take Names has little in the way of substance, and it quickly uses up all of its capital when it comes to flash. A formulaic, unoriginal blockbuster with a paper-thin premise, it may be the final nail in the coffin of the career of its star, the aging, and sadly ever-present, Frederick Raye. We won't count on you watching it upon the July 1st release date, especially when Coe is available as well.
