DUNKIRK ANALYSIS [UPDATED REVIEW – 6 April 2019] Dunkirk is still amazing. Still stressful to watch. And remains a masterpiece. The only change is that Joe Wright and Gary Oldman’s Darkest Hour was released later that year and is generally accepted as the perfect companion piece to...
SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING dir. Jon Watts, starring Tom Holland, Michael Keaton, Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, and Robert Downey Jr. Spider-Man is possibly the most beloved superhero in all of comic books. More than Superman, more than Batman, more than Wonder Woman or even the fervor of an Avengers world...

ROGUE ONE [UPDATED REVIEW – 6 April 6, 2019] Honestly, my opinion hasn’t changed, except that Rogue One is my favorite of the Disney-era Star Wars films to date, and that opinion is easy to defend and commonly held. Episode 7 was too nostalgic; Episode 8 was...
DOCTOR STRANGE dir. Scott Derrickson, starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Mads Mikkelsen, Rachel McAdams, et al BLUF: A great character introduction in a film weighed down by MCU formulaic missteps I think that when I saw Doctor Strange in the theater, I made the decision that I was 100% done...
SUICIDE SQUAD [UPDATED REVIEW – 6 April 2019] The years have not been kind to SS, which is generally considered the worst DC film. Personally, I reserve that honor for 2017’s Justice League. But I also acknowledge that SS has problems. Big ones. My opinion has not...
