Top Gun: Maverick 2022
I’ve heard all the grumblings about this film and, at least on an intellectual level, agree with most of them. The love story is laughably stale; the mission at hand vague at best; the jingoism pervading the entirety of the movie palpable in every frame.
But holy shit this movie is awesome. See it in a theater, and see it on an IMAX screen if you’re able. Watch as your valid cynicism melts away in Tom Cruise’s jet stream.

Thor: Love and Thunder 2022
Tails Waititi gets a lot of credit for being the funniest director in the Marvel universe, and deservedly so. But this iteration of the Thor narrative feels like it’s just going through the motions, and the uninspired performance of Natalie Portman gives the vibe that he’s not the only one who’s over it. It’s hard to keep track of how this story fits in with all the others in the Marvel universe (it doesn’t, really), or to figure out why we needed this film. However there’s a Russell Crowe cameo so hilarious it almost makes the other hour and forty minutes worth snoozing through.

The Forgiven 2021
John Michael McDonagh is forgiven for what is ultimately a meaningless film. While the individual scenes keep you interested in the outcome and play with your suspicions and knee jerk assumptions, ultimately we are left with a half-baked script that plays to western preconceived notions of the Other. This is almost a moving film but in the end is exactly as shallow as the director assumes its audience to be.

The Last Duel 2021
Holy shit this movie was long and boring. They had enough for a ninety minute movie, tops, and decided to turn it into a two and a half hour movie. You will hear the worst, most half-assed attempts at English accents you’ve ever heard (except for Comer). Make sure you get a comfortable seat.
