Adventure
Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind
The most Miyazaki of Miyazaki films.
The NeverEnding Story
This 80s classic is beloved by many, for reasons which entirely escape me.
Legend
The strange, dreamlike quality and campy tone of this fairy tale fantasy will appeal to some, but not to most.
Conan the Barbarian
Pulp fantasy nonsense.
The Gold Rush
The film Charlie Chaplin most wanted to be remembered for doesn’t disappoint.
Noelle
A fun but derivative-feeling Christmas movie whose one big differentiating idea is a total dud.
Bumblebee
As a movie, it’s pretty fun. Compared to its franchise peers, it’s practically a work of art.
The General
Physical comedy aplenty compensates for this silent era film’s weaker story, goofy effects, and general lack of polish relative to modern filmmaking.
Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker
Forty years and nine movies worth of built up expectations ends in a hot mess.
Spider-Man: Far From Home
A respectable entry into the pantheon of Spider Man movies only hindered by its required nods to Marvel’s larger cinematic universe.
Barbarella
Both brilliant and terrible in equal measure, but more marred by its failings than elevated by its successes.
Rob Roy
Rob Roy is a chore that feels every minute of its two hour and twenty minute length.
