The talk of what it means to be a Mary Sue has gotten so emotional that I think it's time for the term to disappear. But not before my final word.

An ensemble cluster of action and color anchored by one of the best villains in the genre. The series' most essential film.

A movie so scary it's worthy of study. Eggers is a name to watch.

Beautiful animation complements a pretty bare story about proving yourself even when you have nothing to prove. Not the studio's best.

An extravagant mystery, deeply brilliant. Where mainstream meets noir and makes them both seem like a good idea.

An alternative to the modern rejection of fairytales. Why true love never goes out of style.

An analysis of Villeneuve's dreamy horror film. Not for the faint, the arachnophobic, or the easily confused.

The Phantom Menace is unformed as a child’s drawing, and sometimes feels as innocent, and many times threatens through sheer force of will to be charming.

The structure of its symbols is so admirable that Annihilation will make you forget the flaws in its execution. Mainstream horror with an intellectual twist.

Cinema's strongest action lady brings us the most charming gore-fest ever made.
