  • Legend

    If The Lord of the Rings, The Thief of Baghdad, The Ten Commandments, and The NeverEnding Story were mushed together, this would be the result. Ridley Scott continues to be obsessed with unicorns.

  • Child 44

    In Soviet Russia, Mystic River and Se7en ripoffs YOU!

  • Ballerina

    More John Wick, but with grenades and flamethrowers. As if there wasn’t already Atomic Blonde, Gunpowder Milkshake, Monkey Man, Anna, Silent Night, etc etc etc.

  • Nocturnal Animals

    I see, the book plot mirrors the “real life” plot, it’s a regret-filled letter twenty years in the making. Becoming one’s hateful parents, what a relatable problem. Those opening shots though, fucking modern art and its shock value.

  • Silent Night

    A depressing Soylent Green, where Malthusianism is replaced by whatever the Extinction Rebellion ideology is called (the kid has their poster on the bedroom, and rants about Greta warning us!).

  • Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning

    Nooo, Luther! He will need to hack his way out of heaven to get away with exploding in a cave.

  • Snake Eyes

    Rashomon with much more scantily clad girls, it’s Atlantic City after all. Seriously, it’s extremely sexualized, Carla Gugino is supposed to be the nerd whistleblower but she spends nearly the whole film in her underwear, and it’s fabulous.
