In an entertainment era where seemingly everything is being dumbed down and homogenized, the Planet of the Apes films have managed to hold on, retaining their focus on larger ideas about society, human...
The Fall Guy is for people who love movies but hate Hollywood. David Leitch’s new film is made of everything that used to make movies special: human characters we can see ourselves in, a sense of fun...
Imagine Inglourious Basterds without the intelligent plotting, the engaging dialogue, the captivating characters, the witty humor, the expert pacing, the unbearable tension, or the palpable stakes, but...
[Insert lack of Marvel superheroes joke here.]
Now that that’s out of the way, Alex Garland’s Civil War is a surprisingly smart movie, a film not about right and wrong so much as what would happen...
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire is the mess you probably thought it was, with useless human characters, inconsistent special effects, shoddy editing, laughless humor, desperate attempts to be cool, and...
Cabrini, released March eighth of this year by Angel Studios, tells the incredible true story of Mother Francesca Cabrini, who, when arriving in New York in 1889, is met with disease, crime, and orphaned...
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire is ‘member-berry-laden bore, a sequel that exists for the sake of milking an IP for all its current rights holders can. It has none of the charm or fun that made Ghostbusters a...
My appreciation for the Kung Fu Panda series is no secret. I remember being shocked by the simple but moving meaning in the first movie when I found it. I don’t love Kung Fu Panda 2 as much as most...
*SPOILERS* In “Infiltration,” Rex leads Senator Singh to a clandestine meeting with Senator Chuchi. The place is bombed by Clone X, the mysterious mercenary from season 2. He is intercepted, and...
Dune: Part Two hits theaters less than three years after Dune: Part One, but it feels like we’ve been waiting for this film forever. Part of that is, undoubtedly, its postponed release date, but it’s...
Nickelodeon’s Avatar: The Last Airbender is my favorite TV series. I love plenty of others, like Gargoyles and Batman: The Animated Series. Penny Dreadful would have made the list were it not...
Madame Web may be the first movie I’ve seen where the red carpet premiere was more interesting than the film itself. Granted, the red carpet premiere featured this showdown, but the larger point is...
I.S.S. is a movie I only became aware of very recently, thanks to movie theater trailers. I like Ariana DeBose, but I more than likely never would have seen this one were it not for my husband’s penchant...
After that fun, zippy trailer, Argylle is a massive disappointment, a movie that doesn’t know what it wants to say or how it wants to say it. The leads – two actors I generally like – are painfully...
When I first saw a trailer for American Fiction before The Boy and the Heron over a month ago, I knew I needed to see it. Jeffrey Wright consistently delivers the goods, and this film looked hysterical....
I’m not going to pretend The Beekeeper is a great movie, because it isn’t. It’s got less character work than your standard Allstate commercial, the acting – outside of a couple of performances...
Generally speaking, I don’t like romance movies. Sometimes, one surprises me, but I find romance much more appealing as a subplot in fantasy or adventure films. When I first saw the trailer for Anyone...
Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom brings a year of lousy superhero movies (with one bright spot) to a close with an appropriate whimper. This is yet another film that, despite delayed releases and reshoots,...
The Iron Claw tells the true story of the Von Erichs, one of the greatest wrestling families of all time. This film is the latest from A24 and writer/director Sean Durkin, and while I don’t follow sports,...
Wonka is a rebootquel of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and, to a lesser extent, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I like the Gene Wilder-led classic well enough, but I don’t think I ever...
