BoxReview.com is an American online film review website founded in 2025 by MJ Hall. The platform publishes reviews of classic and contemporary films, with a particular focus on American cinema from the 1980s and 1990s. BoxReview.com aims to provide concise, accessible critiques for movie enthusiasts, blending analysis with nostalgia and commentary on film legacy.
History
[edit]BoxReview.com was launched in mid-2025 by MJ Hall, a writer and film enthusiast with a background in digital media. The site quickly established a niche by spotlighting cult classics and mainstream films alike, often revisiting titles that have grown in popularity over time or received renewed critical attention.
Content
[edit]The site publishes individual reviews, often framed with a blend of contemporary analysis and cultural context. Each article typically includes a synopsis, critique of the film’s direction, performances, production, and an editorial "Final Verdict" summary. Films reviewed on the platform range from action and horror to drama and comedy.
Several reviews reference notable production elements, such as connections between directors’ prior works. For example, the site's review of *Revenge* (1990) highlights director Tony Scott’s reuse of visual and production assets from *Top Gun*, including cockpit simulators and Navy-provided aircraft footage.[1]
Reception
[edit]BoxReview.com has gained a small but growing following on social media platforms, where it promotes new content and engages with readers through film polls and nostalgic commentary. While the site has not yet received mainstream media coverage, it has been cited in independent blogs and film discussion forums for its curated focus on retro American cinema.
