“Ad Astra” is a film that possesses similar beats to sci-fi classics, falling into the realm of cinematic hypnotism, and pulling us in with its mysteriously intoxicating identity.

Considering the runtime, I expected each scene to hit harder as opposed to a series of montages and vignettes. 

Joker is a compelling, character-driven, psychological tale that has a message behind the madness.

Telling a story about the French and Indian Wars from the perspective of the British prioritizes the perspective of the colonizers. 

This 2024 musical film is based on the Broadway show and the 2004 film of the same name with major differences.

Him is visually stunning—all concrete cathedrals and bone-rattling impact shots that look like a nightmare highlight reel. Marlon Wayans is magnetic as this legendary quarterback who's basically selling salvation with a smile that never quite reaches his eyes. But the story keeps running in circles: more tests, more cryptic pep talks, more ritualistic drills. The sports-as-religion metaphor beats you over the head when subtlety would've been more effective. The middle drags, and that finale chooses spectacle over substance. It's undeniably stylish, but left me cold. Also worth noting: despite the Monkeypaw connection, this isn't actually a Jordan Peele film—he didn't write or direct.
