First thing I watched after the bar exam (along with Asteroid City). What a summer - free of the bar and watching two phenomenal movies in the theaters in one week! Also Barbie was there

This review has me so damn excited to Fantastic Four now…
The last half decade has made me the resident Marvel grump—so trust me when I say “First Steps” is a delight. Imaginative. Passionate. Funny! Shouldn’t have taken 30 years to get the Fantastic Four right, but I couldn’t have asked for more. Left me beaming mashable.com/article/fantas…

I had forgotten this tweet from Cannes days which, as well as neatly summing up an atrocious film, accidentally demonstrated what’s wrong with this medium. 200 people saying “ROFL What the hell can the first sentence mean?” READ THE FUCKING REVIEW.
Scarlett Johansson's "Eleanor the Great" is "Dear Evan Hansen" for Holocaust survivors. Weirdest film I've seen at #Cannes2025, an attempted crowdpleaser so fascinatingly apolitical it circles back around to relevant, in ways it isn’t prepared to handle. decider.com/2025/05/23/sca…
Big fan of Ari Aster’s work. “Eddington” is his first bad movie. A COVID-era satire of nothing, with a shallow, mean-spirited approach to its characters, and a head-scratching outlook on everything from conspiracy theories to racial injustice. #Cannes2025 ign.com/articles/eddin…
