As a film audience it is our obligation to decide what we will allow in our art. If we are offended or invested, we are giving it power. If we feel nothing, we are taking its power away. "Performaniax" makes us question why we grant art this power.

'Irresistible' is more interested in restoring sanity and not fear, finding the common humanity in its characters instead of eviscerating stand-ins for so-called enemies. And it reminds us that the conflict isn't between left and right, it's corruption versus not corruption.

Often during times of uncertainty people seek the comfort of knowing that those individuals in places of power have the stability, competence, and expertise needed to lead us back toward a calmer atmosphere. And when those people are absolute, humiliating failures more interested in bragging about stock numbers and denying …

I'm not sure if there's something I didn't "get" about 'Birds of Prey.' What I am sure of is that I entered with no expectations, and those expectations were met.

It’s unfortunate but I must start with an apology: this list is far later than I’d like. The first reason for this tardiness is due to my current job for which I had an intense period in the middle of January, two weeks in which my life shut down other …

Brad Pitt's performance, the deliberate pacing, the uniformly gorgeous visuals, and the attention given to everything seen and heard rank "Ad Astra" as one of the great modern space operas.

As we watch Woody pondering the next step after fulfilling his initial purpose, we see Pixar doing the same with 'Toy Story 4.'

[*No spoiler review*] As the credits rolled to close Dark Phoenix I looked over to the friend who foolishly accompanied me and remarked, “So when does the movie start?” We then waited a moment trying to put together the words to properly describe the images and noises we had previously …

There are fourteen million six hundred and five ways in which "Avengers: Endgame" could have been made, but none in which it could have been better.
