The summer movie season has wrapped up and several film festivals are now on deck.
As a result, members of the MNFCA used the last few weeks to review the final summer movies and several smaller releases. Many also published retrospective reviews of older films.
Here’s what the Alliance has been up to lately.
“Barbie” continued to dominate the box office over the last month but August still had plenty of other releases in cinemas.
The giant monster sequel “The Meg 2,” the comic book adaptation “Blue Beetle,” the vampire flick “The Last Voyage of the Demeter” and more all came out in theaters in the last several weeks. Members of the MNFCA were on hand to review those and many more.

The Minneapolis-St. Paul Film Society recently concluded its annual festival, which ran from April 13-27.
The Society has held the MSP International Film Festival for 42 years. This year’s edition had nearly 200 films from all around the world.
Watching several of the films were members of the Minnesota Film Critics Alliance. Members from the metro area watched festival-shown movies including “Dreamin’ Wild,” “Showing Up” and much more.

April is nearly done but spring hasn’t quite sprung yet in Minnesota, with the state experiencing some late snow and cold.
No issue for Minnesota critics, though, who kept busy inside theaters seeing the latest Hollywood has to offer. MNFCA members reviewed the likes of “Renfield,” “Air,” and much more.
Many also attended the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Film Festival. That event concludes Thursday, so keep an eye out for a release on the MNFCA’s coverage on the MSP IFF.
