Review: ‘Avatar: The Way of Water’ is Spectacular

It has been more than a decade since James Cameron’s Avatar was released, becoming the highest-grossing film of all time. With the sequel thirteen years in the making, the anticipation for Avatar: The Way of Water has been building.

Review: Guillermo del Toro’s ‘Pinocchio’

Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio embraces the darkest, most monstrous parts of humanity… and the warmest, most beautiful, the most poetic.

Weird: The Al Yankovic Story is a very weird film like Al Yankovic himself. Before you watch it, don’t expect a 1:1 recount of Yankovic’s life, even if it’s “based on true events.” Rather Weird is a fun, crazy, and in some ways revolutionary story. Keep in mind also that (as far as we know) many of the things shown in

‘Wendell & Wild’ Review: Struggles of the Hell Maiden

After seven years of development, Henry Selick’s Wendell & Wild is finally out. The demon-filled horror comedy is a fantastic visual achievement, with prestigious stop-motion animation that rivals the best work of an all-star career which already includes Coraline, Nightmare Before Christmas, and James and the Giant Peach.
