The Adam Project

It’s an okay adventure with a message so profound that even Ryan Reynold’s delightfully smarmy charm can’t smother it.

Heartstopper

Is identity defined by accomplishments listed on a resume, or does it live in the heated, hidden, squishy parts of the soul? I think both things can be true.

The Lost City

You can’t just look at two teams on paper and know how things will play out. Apparently, the same goes for massively enjoyable movie stars.

Everything Everywhere All at Once

It’s a roller coaster of a movie - you will arrive at the end a little out of breath, a touch nauseous, but grateful to be alive and telling all your friends they totally have to try it.

Morbius

If you love origin stories, dig your action a bit on the silly side, or enjoy shaking your head and grinning at big picture nonsense, you will probably enjoy this movie.

The Batman

Is Pattinson good? I dunno. It’s like asking me what I think of Pedro Pascal’s performance in The Mandalorian.

The Book of Boba Fett, S1.E1 & 2

Morrison spends most of his time posing in front of his foes like some insecure Alpha-dude at the gym trying to show how tough he is. It’s as if Morrison believes all before him will either fear him or follow him based solely on posture.

West Side Story

I’m not sure this is a road I want to go down, but you can’t argue with Spielberg’s results. The new West Side Story is lights out fantastic.

8-Bit Christmas

Maybe it’s unfair to compare this movie to A Christmas Story. We don’t compare every painting to Picasso. Nor every song to Beyonce. And we certainly do not compare all crunchy processed food snacks to the almighty Taki.

Flee

My attention and empathy shouldn’t depend upon “relating” to this young kid who grew up half a world away, but I do relate to him. And it makes it that much more gutting when his world begins crumbling around him.

The Power of the Dog
