For better, and sometimes for worse, Furiosa is a completely different film from its predecessor. It’s relatively slower and breaks the story into discrete parts but still retains the car-smashing action Mad Max is known for.
The Fall Guy pulled me in with its premise of unrealistic action shot realistically, but kept me intrigued with humor, a plot so meta, American Fiction got jealous, and a clichéd action rom-com sensibility.
Since my first viewing of The Mummy, I have loved this film for its simplicity, humor, and action-packed adventure sensibilities.
In Civil War, Garland tells an apocalyptic tale that feels closer to reality than anything he’s made to date. It’s harrowing, it’s haunting, and it’s sobering, but it’s the moments of silence between the action that make this film memorable.
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire drops the adversarial ‘versus’ of the previous film in the series, and unfortunately loses some of the fun conflict with it.
n an attempt to understand the deep connective tissues that bind this series so I can fully enjoy Godzilla vs Kong: The New Empire in theaters, I’ve finally returned to King of the Monsters.
Nicholas Cage films are like gas station burritos; most will leave you with food poisoning, but sometimes, one comes along that makes the whole hunt worth it. Fortunately, or unfortunately, Dream Scenario doesn’t fall into the so bad it’s good or Oscar-worthy poles of Cage’s career.
Much like its predecessor, Ready Player Two is a creature of nostalgia. This is both to its benefit and detriment as a story.
Who doesn’t like watching a Christmas movie in early March while Seattle is hovering on the edge of the snow zone? The Holdovers is a by-the-numbers feel-good movie about a snarky student and a curmudgeonly professor stuck together over the holidays.
Anatomy of a Fall is captivating the whole way through despite its 2.5-hour runtime. The performances are nuanced and human in a way that often made me forget I was watching a movie.
