Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977)
94%
3/4
“Star Wars is mostly the movie it always was, a blast of fresh/old air, modeled after cliffhanger serials but infused with state-of-the-art effects and a healthy dose of Jungian archetypes.” –

You're Cordially Invited (2025)
48%
“Half of Prime Video’s You’re Cordially Invited is a familiar but nicely played comedy about a Southern family wedding, white middle-class variety. The movie’s other half keeps disrupting it with sloppy slapstick.” –

Hercules (1997)

B
“Visually and verbally, Hercules is the studio's wittiest film in years, so dense in its onscreen invention that scenes can dizzy you with overstimulation. So how come the film runs out of steam two-thirds through?” –

Stopping the Steal (2024)
“If we lived in a saner nation, I wouldn’t be recommending Steal, a documentary I know you don’t want to watch. I didn’t want to watch it, either -- it shouldn’t have to exist. But here we are.” –

“Uglies is so carelessly made, it feels like an active gesture of contempt toward the readers of Scott Westerfeld’s 2005 source novel and to anyone who watches the small-screen result. ” –

The Animal Kingdom (2023)

“What could have been a silly metaphor about puberty becomes an interesting fable about society’s eternal drive to divide itself into Us vs. Them. More than a treatise, though, "Kingdom" offers some lovely, poetic sequences that can linger in your memory.” –

Atlas (2024)

“Lopez’s character and the movie itself can’t quite decide if AI is a big bad evil thing or our very best buddy. So it decides to say both things in what seems less a philosophical choice and more the most inoffensive and lucrative one. ” –
