Definitely a better movie than Free State of Jones, yet more prone to white savior tropes. The cinematography and production design are excellent, and the cast is incredible. It’s a big, earnest, awards-baity epic, of the kind that’s all too rare these days. Unfortunately, the film frames Matthew Broderick’s white Colonel as the protagonist, (it’s at its weakest when focusing on him), and relegates the black soldiers played by Denzel Washington, Morgan Freeman, and Andre Braugher to mere supporting roles. Still a must see for anyone interested in Civil War media.

The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim 2024
A surprisingly mediocre and forgettable Lord of the Rings spin-off. It hits a lot of familiar beats and is clearly banking on nostalgia for the franchise, but it’s just not very interesting and doesn’t have a clear reason for existing. Honestly, it was kind of a slog to get through. The animation is fine, but nothing special. It felt like they were trying to save money by having as little movement as possible, shot to shot.

What Is a Woman? 2022
Matt Walsh will not see heaven. I just feel bad for actor/comedian Matt Walsh, for having to share a name with this horrible prick.

Captain America: Brave New World 2025
Below average, even for recent MCU, which is not at all a high bar. One of the most pointless and forgettable Marvel movies I’ve seen. It’s no wonder why they dumped this in February. It’s going for the paranoid political thriller feel of Winter Soldier, but it just has nothing interesting going on at all. The effects look cheap, the antagonist is a dud, and reshoots make the plot feel unnecessarily convoluted. It’s a shame, because Sam Wilson’s first solo film should be a bigger deal.
