Luma's start and end keyframes are a game changer. With a sequence of keyframes from the original film, we can seamlessly remaster stop motion classics like "Jason and the Argonauts" as modern single-take action scenes.

Birds of Prey cost less than Ford v. Ferrari and made more opening week yet one's an Oscar nominee that "trounced" its competition and one's a female-led action film that's "doomed."

I love that it has never quite seemed like Sandler knows what to make of these two dudes, but that for some reason it’s this type of energy that makes him want to be around them. I hope like hell these three work together again.

The Shape Of Water - My heart is so full. Maybe Del Toro’s best film? It’s certainly a much more strange effort than had been expected. Violence is heightened but so are the emotions, culminating in a sequence that left my jaw on the floor.

AM I OK? - Another Dakota Johnson-starting delight. Her and costar Sonora Mizuno are lightning together, driving this otherwise tried and true, formulaic comedy. Notaro and Allynne craft a touching film about love and friendship that’s got crowd pleaser written all over it.

Knock at the Cabin is a one in a billion experience. Shyamalan is at the height of his powers here, brilliantly adapting the novel into a nervy, startlingly tense doomsday lament. M. Night may be the most exciting filmmaker working today. At least one of them.

There’s so much bullshit here. Not only was Butker born with a silver spoon up his ass, but the idea that a one income home with children is viable for young people today shows how absolutely little grasp on reality the religious right has. You’re all so profoundly stupid.

Not a word Harrison Butker says here should be remotely controversial. He’s 100% correct. Those trying to convince women that being assistant VP of lending & intentionally childless at age 40 is more fulfilling than making a family and home are evil.

Cha Cha Real Smooth - Raiff’s latest is a doozy, an endlessly sweet and tender coming of age picture that takes the cliches of the genre and subverts them by being almost comically sincere. Stakes are surprisingly high thanks to the ace performances, particularly that of Johnson.
