Avengers: Endgame: Fan Reservice

The 22-film climax delivers on fireworks but passes up its themes. Here’s my full analysis.

This decade saw new studios created and old ones bought. Here’s my pick for the 100 Best Movies of the 2010s.

With The Rise of Skywalker coming out, I wrote my final evaluation, for good and bad, of one of the most debated movies ever.

I’m not buying what this trailer is selling. Here’s why.

The sequels changed this movie. Its ego now shows through its history, though its action still satisfies.

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.
