“Fans of horror should be very satisfied with Ti West’s X.”

“Turning Red another high-quality addition to the Pixar catalog. It’s also a lot of fun. Enjoy it on Disney+.”

“Robert Pattinson is the new Batman, Matt Reeves is the new director, and The Batman is their dark, gritty, grungy entry into the Batman lore.”

Still some films I’d like to catch up on, but these were the best of what I saw.

“Spider-Man: No Way Home is the best kind of fan service.”

“While there are some familiar faces involved, the fresh faces stand out the most here, with Rachel Zegler, Mike Faist, and Ariana DeBose leading the way.”

“This movie is dripping in nostalgia. Easter eggs abound throughout the movie. And some aspects certainly feel nice and familiar. But this is definitely a double-edged sword."

“The Power of the Dog is an adaptation of a novel by Thomas Savage and is being called Campion’s best work since her most notable film, The Piano, and rightly so.”

“Plenty of other movies in the MCU have had to serve multiple purposes in the greater MCU, but Eternals is the first that truly seems to have suffered because of it.”

“‘tick, tick…BOOM!’ is worthy of many awards this season. It is not to be missed.”

“Last Night In Soho is artfully crafted, technically proficient, and as visually lush and inventive as just about anything that has come from Edgar Wright, but I did not connect with it like I had with literally every previous film he has done.”

“There were doubts about Denis Villeneuve making a sequel to Blade Runner. Then there were more skeptics when Villeneuve announced he was going to tackle Dune as his next project. It is time to stop questioning this man what he is capable of.”

“How far past qualifying for AARP does an evil entity stop being believable as an imposing, menacing force of nature and an unstoppable killing machine?”

“This Rashomon-style film, based on actual events over 600 years ago, tells a compelling and thought-provoking story that resonates especially well today.”

“No Time To Die is a stylish and well-polished Bond film, and none of the Daniel Craig films have been outright bad, but I’m hard pressed to call this a satisfying conclusion to Daniel Craig’s tenure as a grittier, flesh and blood Bond.”

Venom: Let There Be Carnage is nothing more than empty calories when it comes to audience consumption. But there is a slapdash, beautiful disaster quality to this movie.

To my eyes, Malignant felt like a huge misfire. To others, it is something to revel in. Your mileage is likely to vary depending on how you enjoy your schlock.

“Perhaps "Jamie" would work with a modicum of success if the viewer had recently woken up from a three-decade-long coma. For a movie ostensibly all about being original, there is not a single new idea here.”

“Marvel’s superpower with the MCU has been its ability to seamlessly blend their storytelling and brand with established genre fare or expanding to embrace more cultures; Shang-Chi, like Black Panther before it, accomplishes both.”

“For me, the most exciting thing on display isn’t so much the specifics of “Come From Away” but what it represents. Here is a well-made, creatively staged, modern, new, mature musical that’s available for the world to see and to inspire the next generation of theater-makers.”
