  The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim 2024

  ★★½ Watched 21 Mar 2025

  has its moments, but doesn’t feel like an original enough adaptation. Brian Cox as jacked horse king is the most inspired choice here.

  Hellboy: The Crooked Man 2024

  ★½ Watched 13 Mar 2025

  Hellboy fans hitting an all-time low. Good dream sequence (which shunts “The Right Hand of Doom” into a story about witches in an albeit clever way), but that’s about all the positive things I have to say. Just make a TV show already, we’re begging.

  Poor Things 2023

  ★★★★½ Watched 29 Dec 2023

  “It was obvious.”
  “… was it?”

  like a perverse version of Pinocchio. Also: elaborate sets! Insane dresses! People talking like no one on Earth! Pretty smart of Yorgos to put most of his usual insane dialogue lines into one character, making everyone else play straight against her. Emma Stone is incredible.
