Mirage (2013)

Animation as a medium of storytelling can be thought to be open to all ages and as I hope my readings will reveal, they could be interpreted as transgender stories.

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.

A complete ranking of every Godzilla movie, including shared universe films.

This list was made with the intention of celebrating comedic craft and a love of seeing more women of colour and newcomers on the scene.

This delightfully odd horror movie presents a whimsically strange alternate reality to younger audiences.

Disclosure Day asks us to question humanity's role in the universe but falls victim to the same assumptions of centrality.
