But Not For Me
Thoughts on living in a world where both The Force Awakens and Rogue One exist, and each has huge fans.
This is not going to go the way I think
Part 2 of jumping on the hype train for The Rise of Skywalker, with my list of things I want to see in the final movie.
Every Generation Has a Hot Take
Becoming fully immersed in the hype for The Rise of Skywalker by reconsidering my opinion of the earlier movies.
Frozen II: More and Less of the Same
Frozen II has all the baggage you’d expect from the sequel to a runaway Disney fairytale blockbuster, but insists on having its characters grow and change.
One Thing I Love About Knives Out
Knives Out is a movie that constantly wants to have it both ways, and it somehow pulls it off flawlessly. (Spoilers within)
One Thing I Don’t Like About Rogue One
Remembering the brilliant production design of Rogue One means being reminded of all of its story problems and what almost feels like a smear campaign against its own protagonist.
No Toy Left Hanging
Toy Story 4 is my favorite in the series, a perfect farewell to the characters and the more satisfying conclusion I didn’t know I needed.
Avengers: No Homo
Want to call for better representation in media, but without making disingenuous or simple-minded arguments that accomplish nothing? It’s a snap!
Them (One Thing I Almost Didn’t Like About Get Out)
I finally worked up the nerve to watch Get Out, and I really liked it. It was a close call, apparently.
One Thing I Love About Captain Marvel
Captain Marvel shows what can happen when you stop making superhero movies and start making movies for an audience familiar with superheroes
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.
