I feel like I'm handing out one of the few mixed-positive (instead of rapturous or, much more rarely, viscerally negative) reviews. I admire and appreciate what Scorsese is going for here—showing...
On this week’s episode, Sonny Bunch (The Bulwark), Alyssa Rosenberg (The Washington Post), and Peter Suderman (Reason) discuss the state of the AMPTP/SAG-AFTRA talks and why this strike might drag out...
I'm torn on this one because, on the one hand, you should judge a film by what it's trying to be rather than what you think it should be, and this film is trying nothing more than to be a 2.75 hour...

EARLIER THIS WEEK, Lucas Shaw of Bloomberg tweeted, referencing Martin Scorsese’s...
To set the stage, allow me to say, first, that Wes Anderson is both one of the great filmmakers of this era and one of my personal favorites. I could pick a film of his from four different...
At one point during THE EXORCIST: BELIEVER, I scribbled “interfaith jam band” in my notebook. This was not complimentary. This isn’t a particularly good movie but it and SAW X are kind of interesting...
I don't particularly care for these movies, but I do find it kind of funny that they realized they f**ked up the series so badly by killing Tobin Bell that they're now running through the whole series...
I'm kind of torn on this because I like it a lot in theory and there are a handful of genuine lol moments. That said, I can't help but feel that the whole mockumentary framing device is a cheat that...
The big news this week, obviously, is the end of the WGA strike. I talked to Elaine Low of The Ankler about what the union won and how solid the solidarity was this time around, compared to...
I'm a little torn on THE CREATOR, which reminds me a lot of AVATAR in ways both good (the visuals!) and bad (the story). That said, I am kind of in awe that Gareth Edwards made a movie that looks as...
Things I learned while watching EXPEND4BLES:
*Sobriety is bullsh*t, drink up rummy if you want to get through the day;
*It's okay to welsh on a bet if the guy you lose to is short;
*$100 million...
On this week’s episode, Sonny Bunch (The Bulwark), Alyssa Rosenberg (The Washington Post), and Peter Suderman (Reason) celebrate the end of the writers strike and ask a very important question: what...
I guess my problem with this movie is twofold:
Every time Dever is onscreen it feels like she’s in Gene Cousineau’s class and he’s told her “show us what you feel … without using words!”...
WGA: Endgame
Everyone in Hollywood is sitting around and holding their breath, hopeful that the writers strike is going to come to an end in the next few days here. For the first time in weeks—months?...
This week, Sonny Bunch (The Bulwark), Alyssa Rosenberg (The Washington Post), and Peter Suderman (Reason) discuss Drew Barrymore’s aborted decision to bring her show back sans writers before the WGA...
Eh, still better than sitting next to Rep. Boebert
I’ve always believed that decline is a choice, and one place we seem to have chosen decline is at the theater, both live and cinematic....
I'm probably bumping this up half a star to push back against some of the Branagh-slander I've seen about this and the other Poirot movies. These movies are fun and serious with just a little ham and...
This week, Sonny Bunch (The Bulwark), Alyssa Rosenberg (The Washington Post), and Peter Suderman (Reason) ask if Taylor Swift and AMC got the better of the studios by agreeing to a direct distribution...
Here’s some information for you: The new Star Wars show Ahsoka racked up 14 million views in its opening week!
Here’s a question for you: Is this information of any real use?
And here’s...
Having watched all three of these movies on back-to-back-to-back nights, I feel comfortable saying it's squarely in between the two of them. What's interesting is just how tonally different this is...
