A tired rehash of a classic that struggles to find reason to exist.

My picks and predictions for the 2023 Academy Awards, along with an Oscar themed cocktail!
A goofy throwback to B-movie camp that feels disappointingly restrained for a movie about a large animal high on drugs.
A new low for the MCU, burdened by an uninteresting story, lazy writing, inconsistent visuals, and an unclear direction for the billion dollar franchise.
A cheap, uninspired slasher banking off of the cheap thrill of seeing your childhood icons kill uninteresting characters.
A decent apocalyptic thriller bolstered by its performances and set-up that unfortunately fails to capture the emotional weight and allegorical nature of its source material.
A viscerally unnerving film that blends sci-fi with social commentary to create a disturbing, if not familiar, tale about privilege.
A thriller blockbuster that builds upon the prior film’s weaknesses to create an engaging thrill ride of likable characters and out of this world visuals.
A bloody holiday brawl that’s big on action, though flat on story or interesting ideas.
A witty, razor sharp murder mystery that produces a worthy successor to one of 2019’s best films.
