Strange Darling
★★★ Liked Watched

A movie that contorts itself wildly to be both misogynist and not, to mostly shallow effect in both directions. Made awkwardly watchable by Willa Fitzgerald’s wildcat take on the scream queen.

A House of Dynamite
★★★ Liked Watched

It’s difficult at this moment in history to watch a political thriller from an American perspective without slipping into nihilism. Casting a black man as POTUS helped, as did putting Katherine Bigalow behind the camera.

Fantastic Four

A joyless exercise in saying "Yes" to only the most idiotic studio notes. Please stop trying to awkwardly squeeze this very comic-book idea into a movie, unless you're Pixar, in which case, yes, of course we'd like another "Incredibles".

Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)
★★★★★ Liked Added

Finally, a Batman movie completely focused on Bruce Wayne's myriad neurosis. Also about a bunch of other stuff, like why Norton was the wrong guy for a Hulk movie, and that's exactly why it's amazing.
