Get the fuck outta here with How Green Was My Valley. One of the best Best Picture winners ever. The fact that it beat Kane is irrelevant. It’s a masterpiece.

Phantom Thread > Shape of Water AND Get Out

“Miami Vice by Michael Mann”

I don’t agree with the Public Enemies assertion - I think it’s pretty good and has some really interesting elements  - but you’re dead-on about Vice. It absolutely rules.

I am begging headline writers to use a word other than “knockout” for Creed III reviews. Please.

LOL yeah - that “start with big action set piece from the middle of the story then jump back to show how we got here” device is one Abrams used ad nauseum on Alias.

100 percent. The laziest script of the Nolan trility without a doubt.

It also never gets enough credit for being a great New York movie.

I’ve never gotten the love for Mission: Impossible 3. It’s literally an episode of Alias with MI characters. Fine for what it is, but that’s all it is.

Very much hoping they resolve the Roy-Jamie-Keeley thing early in the season because absolutely no one cares about it.

100 percent this. Of course The Mandalorian Season 3 won’t be Andor. It’ll be The Mandalorian Season 3. Compartmentalization: try it!

Fuuuuuuck the Marvel movies. This and John Wick are the only extended universes I care about.

I realize Jeremy Allen White is getting a lot of the buzz for The Bear (a show I found ever-so-slightly overpraised), but IMO Ayo Edibiri was the standout from that ensemble. A star-making performance.

Yeah, bizarre logic in not including it because it was on Dreamcast but apparently RE Zero and the RE Remake are “real” RE games? Makes no sense. It’s a real RE game and a really good one!

Agree with this. Creed is basically the textbook example of how to do a legacy sequel and make it about more than just empty nostalgia. Creed II is a textbook example of how to do a legacy sequel and make it about mostly just empty nostalgia. A massive missed opportunity to take the story in a really interesting new

I thought the performances were all great, but am I alone in not really loving the set layout? It feels like they overthought it. I really wish they would have found a way to get everybody on stage together earlier rather than putting them in different parts of this elongated set of weird...what, living rooms? Took

Donald Sutherland is so damn good in this movie. 

Awesome piece. I’ve adored the Wright P&P ever since I saw it theatrically, which was my first experience with the story (my Mom was a huge fan of the Firth miniseries but as a 15-year-old Star Wars-obsessed kid I had no interest whatsoever), and to this day it’s a movie I’ll rewatch every time I come across it on

Here’s the fundamental issue I’m having with this season: why is Ted Lasso still coaching this football team? He clearly doesn’t understand the game. Roy, Ned and even Beard are all smarter football minds than him. They got relegated last year. Rebecca’s not still trying to get back at her ex.

I’m with you on this. Don’t quite get the hate for Battle Born. For someone who’s always enjoyed the band’s music - enjoyed, not loved - it felt at the very least in line with previous efforts, no worse and maybe a little better. It’s at least as good as Day and Age, and probably even musically up there with Sam’s
