MEN IN BLACK is 98 minutes long. Its universe feels vast and infinite. Nearly every joke lands. Every character works. Vincent D’Onofrio gives one of the most inspired performances of all time. And, once again, 98 goddamn minutes long.

I know everyone likes to dunk on Jeremy Strong, but Kendall Roy is one of the most vividly realized characters of 20th century entertainment and if he walked through the screen and into reality, I wouldn’t blink. Everyone on SUCCESSION is great, but Kendall is landmark work.

Started thinking about Luke’s final choices in THE LAST JEDI and how Old Man Luke is my favorite STAR WARS character and how his arc is one of most staggering, emotional and brave things in a franchise that could have easily side-stepped bravery at this point.

CASINO ROYALE has no right to be good as it is. No film franchise has the right to peak 43 years in. No actor should have the ability to redefine an iconic character to the degree Daniel Craig did. Nearly 15 years later, this thing just blows my socks off every single time.

Let’s just take a moment to acknowledge the greatness of Emily Blunt, who has quietly become one of the most versatile and welcome screen presences in modern Hollywood.

It is extremely funny that Ridley Scott heard about the most famous myth associated with this battle and said “Fuck it, that’s cool, it’s going in the movie” and then sprinted downhill with double middle fingers raised to every historian in existence.

BABYLON is made for about 12 people: obsessive film nerds who have read too many books about classic Hollywood and love a tone that fluctuates between ANIMANIACS and that Alfred Molina scene in BOOGIE NIGHTS. I am one of those 12 people, sorry.

Rewatching THE LAST JEDI again and the Canto Bight stuff rules so hard and fandom has never been so wrong about anything in the history of the internet.

Only a handful of 2022 movie scenes match OJ muttering “nope” and locking his truck door in NOPE.

OPPENHEIMER trusts the viewer to be an adult and understand that it’s designed to be a troubling film about subject matter that should get under your skin, about people whose contradictions should upset you. (This is my polite way of wishing more people would act like adults.)

In 20 years, we're all going to agree that STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI is the best of the series. It's the first STAR WARS movie since 1977 to be about something beyond being a STAR WARS movie. And Rian Johnson is the strongest filmmaker to ever work on one of these things.
