PAST LIVES is cinematic perfection. Takes a familiar romantic narrative and subverts it in a quietly poignant but decisively modern way. Evokes more truth in one line than most movies do in 120+ minutes. Easily one of the best movies of the year.

Nia DaCosta gets away with more crazy shit in THE MARVELS than Raimi did in MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS. The most fun I’ve had with a Marvel film in ages and the only solid argument I’ve seen in the last few years that the MCU deserves to continue.

Guys, the movie was never gonna make its money back, even on a good day. It’s a three hour, R-rated movie about old Hollywood lol. They made this as a prestige picture. The real success this movie will achieve is if it can win some awards come high time.
‘BABYLON’ made $3.5M over the 3-day weekend and $5.3M over the 4-day weekend at the domestic box office.

The film is also further proof that Iman Vellani is the new lifeblood of the MCU. The film leaves her in a place that suggests she has a bright future in the larger storyline and that makes me very, very excited.

There’s no way they went into this thinking the movie would make its money back, especially with the release strategy. They did this as a prestige/awards picture and I think it should be judged as that come awards time.

BLACKBERRY is a total slam dunk from director Matt Johnson, a frenetic and hilarious look at the rise and fall of the titular company. If you threw SOCIAL NETWORK, THE OFFICE, and WOLF OF WALL STREET into a blender, you’d get this—primed to be one of the best of the year.

THE PEOPLE’S JOKER is an absolute revelation, a retcon of the Batman mythos as a trans coming-of-age story. Wildly hilarious, completely homemade, and radically transgressive. It’s the movie DC doesn’t want you to see, which is exactly why you NEED to see it.

Why is that whenever "thing bad" movements come along, we choose to write "thing bad haha" movies instead of "THING GOOD THO, JUST DO IT WELL" movies.
HBO is developing a comedy series ‘THE FRANCHISE’ about making a superhero film.
The pilot is directed by Sam Mendes with Armando Iannucci set to exec produce & co-write.
The series follows a crew trapped inside the dysfunctional, joyous hellscape of superhero movie-making.

I agree with this to an extent. Their ages and how that translates to maturity/immaturity is definitely at play, but the ending implies that it's ultimately okay because the love they have for each other overcomes their ages. To me that's a hard pill to swallow.
