The Rule of Jenny Pen (2024)
71%
“Lithgow demolishes the role, sporting gnarled fake teeth, eerie blue contacts, and an impressive New Zealand accent (often channeled through a hideous eyeless puppet, the Jenny Pen of the title).” –

“It’s hard not to be impressed with the sci-fi spectacle of it all. The film itself though is a slog, overly grim and sloppily assembled, a whiff no matter how good it looks.” –

“It’s as good a setup as any for the type of adequate, inoffensive mid-level action thriller Netflix has gotten quite proficient at in recent years.” –

Nope (2022)
83%
“Its big reveal is the best kind: one that seems obvious in hindsight, but delivers a wonderful kind of cinematic pleasure, that of seeing a unique idea presented on screen for the very first time.

Thor: Love and Thunder (2022)

“Almost feels desperate in its attempts to entertain - fights, special effects, and jokes, jokes, jokes. But if everything’s a joke, then does any of it really matter?” –

“Transplanting this particular story to America is ruinous in ways that completely misread the public perception of cops in 2021. Particularly Los Angeles cops.” –

Freaky (2020)

“Landon has made the jump to an R rating, which means the gore has gone up several notches from the more family-friendly Death Days. The first few kills, in particular, are real doozies.” –
