One Thing I Like About Happy Death Day (and Happy Death Day 2U)
Neither movie feels obligated to be scary, but ignoring genres makes them both better movies.
Film Rebuff
I won’t go so far as to say that Aquaman is why I’m no longer a movie fan, but it’s definitely not helping.
One Thing I Love About Into the Spider-Verse
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is an Amazing movie that completely understands how origin stories work.
If I Can’t Show It, You Can’t See Me
How losing access to a social media app escalated into epic tragedy.
One Thing I Like About Ralph Breaks the Internet
The Wreck It Ralph sequel allows for weird character design and animation you might not see in a movie that’s hung up on being a timeless classic.
One Thing I Like About Annihilation
Annihilation breathes life into the book while simultaneously dumbing it down, but really it’s all about the bear.
Gone Girl, or, Sisters Are Doing It To Themselves
I came home the other night to find my living room in disarray and the entire moral and intellectual core of Gone Girl had gone missing.
One Thing I Like About Solo
Solo is the huge 2018 marketing-driven franchise installment that thinks it’s an old-fashioned action adventure from 1987
If You See Something, Say Something
Another thing I like about Firewatch
One Thing I Like About Firewatch
Being an independent developer means you can take uneventful hikes through the woods.
What Remains of Edith Finch
It turns out that the game from last year that has gotten near-universal praise and made it onto multiple best-of lists is actually pretty good.
No Place in Her Story
The Last Jedi is really just a rehash of many of the ideas from the first Star Wars movie.
