‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’ Review: So Much Said, So Little Time
The Daniels return with an absurd, zany, and heartfelt adventure through the multiverse.
20 Years Later: June 2002
Now to start something that makes perfect sense. This column will be a monthly retrospective of the movies from 20 years earlier. Most months I'm aiming for the first Tuesday to release this. But I'm starting late. For the record, release dates are weird so if it's a smaller film, info is hard to always [...]
Review Ms. Marvel 1×1: Generation Why
✯✯✯✯½ This is the start of a 6 week test for me so we will see how this goes. I've never reviewed a TV show without at least a season or even a second episode. Future reviews may be wisps. But we will see. Who is the breakout comic book character of the last 15 [...]

We were long overdue for this conversation When the Golden Raspberry Awards or Razzies were forced to walk back an "award" given to Bruce Willis for worst performance in a DTV movie, a job it's now known he only took to try to work as [...]
‘West Side Story’ Review: The Perfect Reintroduction of a Classic Musical
Some would ask what is the need for a new West Side Story, but Steven Spielberg does far more than provide the answer any skeptic would need.
Opinion: Why The King’s Speech Deserves More Love
The Oscars can ruin modest work. Little films like Little Miss Sunshine and Juno feel elevated into larger conversations with their best original screenplay wins which are bad enough. But if one of these films should win the top prize, it's devastating. The Artist was a lovely bit of cotton candy that suddenly had to [...]
‘CODA’ Review: A Conceited Crowdpleaser Suppressing Its Deaf Voices
This film featuring deaf actors playing deaf characters unfortunately falters with providing them their own voice.
