Mickey 17 (2025)
77%
“It’s not as clever as it thinks it is. It’s less dark and more exhaustingly depressing than anything. And it certainly doesn’t succeed as a comedy.” –

Dune: Part Two (2024)
92%
“It builds on what worked in the first film, and firmly establishes that it has been constructed out of not only an affection for the source material, but also a profound understanding of the tragedy at the heart of Herbert’s work. ” –

Deliver Us From Evil (2014)
30%
“Deliver us from Evil is quite a good horror movie, though it falls short of anything like greatness. It has a fantastic cast anchored by the aforementioned Bana and Joel McHale, and features some truly grotesque imagery and tense situations. ” –

The Matrix Resurrections (2021)
63%
“Don't get me wrong: if you loved The Matrix, you should absolutely see this. But ultimately the movie ends in no different a place than the first movie did 20 years ago.” –

Dune (2021)
83%
“It's masterful in visuals, in acting, in building a world that I want to see a dozen more hours of on my screen. But the irony is that as good as it is, it's doomed by the fundamental unfilmablity of the novel.” –

Survive the Game (2021)
14%
“I am trying to convey that I think this movie was literally shot by high school kids over a couple weeks of summer vacation on their phones. With none of the charm and joy that implies.” –

The Tomorrow War (2021)
52%
“That odd obsessive harping on its own inconsistencies convinces me that at some point in the process this script was way better than what actually made it onto the screen.” –

Oxygen (2021)
90%
“It's a film that succeeds at being more than the sum of its parts by intertwining a story of life finding a way with whispers of a ship of Theseus.” –

“As an actual professor of Eastern European politics, I literally have no idea what parts of the movie are honest ignorance versus ironic ignorance.” –

Downton Abbey (2019)

“The movie continues the show's inexplicable ability to be charmingly idiotically entertaining despite the writing, the plot, the setting, the anachronisms, and literally everything about it except for the acting.” –

“Characters who don't make choices, who don't evolve over the course of a story, are just background props. They might as well just be dolls in glass cases.” –
