There is no question that Musk serves as a vital, nearly comprehensive document not just of Musk as a person, but of the increasingly dystopian world he is currently helping to shape. (It didn’t need the gimmicks.)

A bold statement made even bolder by the person starring in it — screw jumping off mountains, satirizing the men in charge with this level of viciousness feels like the biggest risk of Tom Cruise's career. But it pays off brilliantly.

Resident Evil is Cregger’s most straightforward horror film to date, fully locked in on Bryan’s attempt to deliver his package and survive the night. The resulting ride is pure adrenaline, showcasing the director’s real talent for crafting jump scares that truly do shock you without playing as overtly cruel or manipulative.

This is a film about forgiveness between the brothers, yes, but more importantly, it’s about the fans that made this reunion a cultural phenomenon.

Even when cursed with a substandard script, Bullock and Kidman still cast quite the spell.

Writer Mark L. Smith's approach to this story is a tonal mishmash that becomes equally mishmashy on the screen in Ridley Scott's hands.

This movie might need a few viewings to fully crack, but even the first time through, what stands out is the way it explores what it means to have a secret place inside you, one you can only unlock with the help of something unexpected. Like, say, 1980s horror movies. Or a movie about them.

A charming, laugh-out-loud funny tribute to decades of animated history, even as it reflects a world of harsh realities.

It’s all so deeply unsettling, because it imagines a society that would buy party hats celebrating the one night of the year they have an ounce of bodily autonomy. An America that wouldn’t just surrender further to fascism, but turn it into branding.

Tony doesn’t give Tony too much growth by the end, but it does highlight some core values that Bourdain would express in his work as an adult: The pleasure of creation, the beauty of consumption, and the power of the unassuming and unexpected.
