Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
A decent story carried by some of the best action in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Never Surrender: A Galaxy Quest Documentary
A warm, fuzzy look at the cultural impact of a surprise cult hit, Galaxy Quest, that is not lacking in behind the scenes revelations or fresh interpretations.
Dark Passage
This noir tour of San Francisco is tense and experimental, to mixed results.
The Protege
This slick, high quality action thriller offers superb fight scenes and solid character work, but occasionally feels a bit too much like a John Wick clone.
Jungle Cruise
An attempt to capture the magic of pulp adventure movies of the past that instead creates something tragically soulless and derivative.
Scooby Doo
This dated adaptation may ooze the early 2000s out of every pore, but is a remarkably fun time regardless.
All Quiet on the Western Front
One of the most effective and affecting pieces of anti-war media I have ever consumed.
The Last Unicorn
This visually striking animated fantasy is enough to keep your typical kid engaged but lacks the depth needed to amaze most adults.
A Streetcar Name Desire
This superbly well made adaptation of one of America’s great works of the theater I appreciated but didn’t like, probably due to personal taste.
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.
