"The Fantastic Four: First Steps" is an aggressively fine superhero reboot that's unlikely to usher in a new MCU golden age. thedailybeast.com/obsessed/fanta…
REVIEW | We saw the new ‘Fantastic Four’ movie. Maybe this isn’t the one Marvel should be hanging its hat on… trib.al/dnzkynB

This year's Toronto International Film Festival looks stacked, and also features the year's best film: "Train Dreams." thedailybeast.com/obsessed/train…
REVIEW | 'The Hunting Wives' is a soapy saga cast in a 'Big Little Lies' mold that makes up for its lack of originality with bold, brash red-state attitude. trib.al/xGFa8jQ
"Untamed," an Eric Bana-headlined murder mystery set at Yosemite National Park, is a crushingly mild snooze. thedailybeast.com/obsessed/untam…
"Eddington" is a fierce and funny provocation designed to p--- off everyone along the political spectrum. thedailybeast.com/obsessed/eddin…
REVIEW | Eric Bana is at his best when he’s not playing a straight leading man. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what he does in 'Untamed.' trib.al/KwDUY02
REVIEW | Ari Aster’s pandemic satire 'Eddington' is a furious and frenzied Western snapshot of our COVID nightmare. trib.al/LGlbwZZ

“Smurfs” is a Smurfingly Smurfed Reboot. thedailybeast.com/obsessed/smurf…
“I Know What You Did Last Summer” is a surprisingly sturdy summer slasher nostalgia trip that marries straightforward whodunit thrills and self-referential jokiness. thedailybeast.com/obsessed/i-kno…
The new ‘Smurfs’ reboot, starring Rihanna, reimagines the tiny blue characters in a bizarrely new manner. trib.al/5Zc7ccR
REVIEW | The legacy sequel of ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’ marries serious whodunit thrills and self-referential jokiness. trib.al/4zEkQP5
