Turns Out the Walrus Was Paul (Making Sense of Glass Onion)
Answering (most of) my own questions about Glass Onion
Glass Onion and the Post-Whodunnit Detective Story
Glass Onion is fantastic, a thoroughly contemporary satirical comedy that also feels like a comfortable, old-fashioned murder mystery
Black Adam, or, Welcome To The Rock
Black Adam seems like what you would get if you made a movie out of The Rock
One Thing I Like About Werewolf By Night

I, Too, Am An Adult With Very Strong Opinions About Mario Mario
Lazy dunking on casting Chris Pratt has revealed something I never fully appreciated about the franchise
A Few More Things I Like About Barbarian
Still thinking about a horror movie that probably wasn’t intended to be quite as thoughtful as I made it sound. Minor spoilers.
One Thing I Like About Barbarian
Barbarian doesn’t just mock “Don’t open that door!” moments in horror movies, but explains why you would open that door. (No significant spoilers)
One Thing I Like About Confess, Fletch
A re-vitalization of Gregory MacDonald’s 1976 novel that somehow feels timeless

This prequel to a 13-year-old movie has no right to be as much fun as it is. (Spoilers for both Orphan movies in the second half)
One Thing I Like About Last Night in Soho
An over-saturated experiment in style that was much more entertaining than I’d expected.
One Thing I Love About Prey
The new Predator movie is set 300 years ago in the Comanche nation and is fantastic
