I think this movie is, like the other movies in this series, totally serviceable. I do feel very strongly, however, that Rachel Zegler is an absolute star. She's probably the best thing about Spielberg's...
On this week’s episode, Sonny Bunch (The Bulwark), Alyssa Rosenberg (The Washington Post), and Peter Suderman (Reason) talked about Ridley Scott’s riotous press tour and his disdain for historical...
I’m not sure the central metaphor of DREAM SCENARIO—which is nominally about viral fame and cancellation—*entirely* works, but it’s a great portrait of a fundamentally unlikable sort of guy...
“Who needs a Trojan Horse when you have Postmates?”
Again: it’s very clever! My single serving friend in movie form. And technically proficient as one might expect from David Fincher. I’m not...
On this Tuesday’s episode, Sonny Bunch (The Bulwark), Alyssa Rosenberg (The Washington Post), and Peter Suderman (Reason) have a fine time highlighting Marvel’s myriad problems, from the serious (a...
Priscilla Presley lives. Indeed, her life after Elvis is something like four times as long as it was with Elvis. But you wouldn’t have any idea about that from this movie. Despite the title, despite...
On this Tuesday’s show, Sonny Bunch (The Bulwark), Alyssa Rosenberg (The Washington Post), and Peter Suderman (Reason) discuss the fall’s surprise breakout at the box office: Five Nights at Freddy’s,...
On this week’s episode, Sonny Bunch (The Bulwark), Alyssa Rosenberg (The Washington Post), and Peter Suderman (Reason) discuss the cancellation of Jon Stewart’s show by Apple. Was it driven by fear...
I feel like I'm handing out one of the few mixed-positive (instead of rapturous or, much more rarely, viscerally negative) reviews. I admire and appreciate what Scorsese is going for here—showing...
On this week’s episode, Sonny Bunch (The Bulwark), Alyssa Rosenberg (The Washington Post), and Peter Suderman (Reason) discuss the state of the AMPTP/SAG-AFTRA talks and why this strike might drag out...
I'm torn on this one because, on the one hand, you should judge a film by what it's trying to be rather than what you think it should be, and this film is trying nothing more than to be a 2.75 hour...

EARLIER THIS WEEK, Lucas Shaw of Bloomberg tweeted, referencing Martin Scorsese’s...
To set the stage, allow me to say, first, that Wes Anderson is both one of the great filmmakers of this era and one of my personal favorites. I could pick a film of his from four different...
At one point during THE EXORCIST: BELIEVER, I scribbled “interfaith jam band” in my notebook. This was not complimentary. This isn’t a particularly good movie but it and SAW X are kind of interesting...
I don't particularly care for these movies, but I do find it kind of funny that they realized they f**ked up the series so badly by killing Tobin Bell that they're now running through the whole series...
I'm kind of torn on this because I like it a lot in theory and there are a handful of genuine lol moments. That said, I can't help but feel that the whole mockumentary framing device is a cheat that...
The big news this week, obviously, is the end of the WGA strike. I talked to Elaine Low of The Ankler about what the union won and how solid the solidarity was this time around, compared to...
I'm a little torn on THE CREATOR, which reminds me a lot of AVATAR in ways both good (the visuals!) and bad (the story). That said, I am kind of in awe that Gareth Edwards made a movie that looks as...
Things I learned while watching EXPEND4BLES:
*Sobriety is bullsh*t, drink up rummy if you want to get through the day;
*It's okay to welsh on a bet if the guy you lose to is short;
*$100 million...
On this week’s episode, Sonny Bunch (The Bulwark), Alyssa Rosenberg (The Washington Post), and Peter Suderman (Reason) celebrate the end of the writers strike and ask a very important question: what...
