2/4
“Industrial Light & Magic and Skywalker Sound...have so transfigured moviegoing into a digital, larger-than-life, realer-than-real experience blurring the natural and the processed that the humanity of the resulting product ceases to exist.” –

““Misericordia” is film noir with the lights turned on. Even when its characters are working your nerves, it tickles.” –

Nosferatu (2024)

“Setting aside some gratuitous jump scares, Eggers has now made a Dracula movie that’s more than an exercise, more than an assertion of talent. There’s a vision at work.” –

Almost Famous (2000)

3.5/4
“Resistance to the euphoric swell is futile: suddenly, vintage Elton is unselfconsciously cool again. That's what Crowe can do at his best. He makes irony seem ridiculous, which itself is beautifully ironic for someone trying to keep rock alive.” –

The Holdovers (2023)
97%
“This is Payne’s first movie set in any kind of past — it’s using the old M.P.A.A. rating card and was shot, by Eigil Bryld, on cozy 35-millimeter. But it doesn’t feel stuck there.” –

“Where previously it was an appalling subversion of good taste, subtlety, exposure to Ouija boards and the Catholic stigma of divorce, it now seems clumsy and adolescent. ” –

Wham! (2023)

“Nothing here’s overthought or pumped up. To invoke the words of a different beacon of catchiness, “Wham!” is a teenage dream. You could drink it from a coconut.” –

The Little Mermaid (2023)

“It reeks of obligation and noble intentions. Joy, fun, mystery, risk, flavor, kink — they’re missing. The movie’s saying, “We tried!” Tried not to offend, appall, challenge, imagine.” –

Fast X (2023)

“These movies used to know what about them was ridiculous. They’d give that to us until our hearts broke the speed limit. But I’ve already seen Diesel drive at a 90-degree angle before. The old bravado currently reeks of formula. The nerve is shot.” –

The Melt Goes on Forever: The Art & Times of David Hammons (2022)
