Like the real life people of city he helped destroy, Nolan's 'Oppenheimer' carries a warning of what should never ever happen again.

Let’s do it differently this time. Hi, I’m Jess. For a few years now I have been Pop Mythology’s one and only film reviewer. In fact, I’m the only contributor remaining, the only voice left for anyone who comes to this site. It can be lonely sometimes feeling like I’m …

The Flash can use his powers of super speed and super annoyance to make a two-and-a-half hour move feel like a five-hour movie.

'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3' culminates in emotion payoffs so satisfying that once the end credits roll the most rational response is applause.

A more refined version of 'Tetris' could have been as great as the game was on Gameboy. This version is as easily forgotten as the Atari one.

'Honor Among Thieves' is a good movie. It would be good even without the 'Dungeons & Dragons' branding. But it wouldn't succeed without it.

Black Adam has every trademark of a Snyder film: striking visuals, meaty men, undeveloped themes, epic lines that mean nothing, and filters.

Let’s face it, the world needs another Marilyn Monroe biopic about as much as we need another prestige film about the British royal family. Few Hollywood figures have been as thoroughly and exhaustively examined on film, with more than twenty actresses either playing Marilyn Monroe or playing characters that are …

Everything Everywhere All at Once shows just how far human creativity can go when unshackled by studio or artistic expectation.
