From our review:

It’s essentially satisfying to see a fantasy princess in a torn bloody wedding dress stabbing the men trying to rule her. It’s not new to allow princesses and other wealthy women to take off their binding dresses and corsets for combat. Look at Merida’s dress bursting at her seams as Merida prepares her bow.

It’s all pretty lightweight and after a recent mainstream victory get red When Encanto From two different arms of Disney Bad guy Spectacle is the default and has the potential to enhance DreamWorks’ status as Team B in modern American animation, where emotional growth is a bit putt. But the better DreamWorks cartoons come alive when released from Disney’s officials, rather than chasing or self-consciously impersonating.Even when Bad guy Similar to other movies, it gracefully steals from them with its own sensibility and energy.

After she began to experience the amazing dream of being taken to a Soho nightclub in the body of an ambitious singer named Sandy (Anya Taylor-Joy), Eloise’s dreams became more and more vivid and violent, hallucinations and reality. Blur the boundaries of.

From our review:

Centrally, as a study of Wright’s own nostalgic tendencies, Soho A fascinating cultural object. He was interested in the weaknesses of nostalgia in his previous work.of Hot fuzz When The World’s End, The character is watched over and criticized by unrealistic nostalgia.But in style, he’s always homage and again SpacedThere are countless visual and textual references to Hollywood and the more esoteric movies. The homage itself is adjacent to nostalgia. In the case of Wright, it celebrates his past style and aesthetics, and his deep, sad love for movies decades ago pervades his filmography.

Soho It feels like his most stylist-like epic work, as well as the most obvious cross-examination of Wright’s sentimental impulses. But at the heart of this story is the violent and weird exploitation of women.This is certainly the most Edgar Wright in his Edgar Wright, but even if he opposes celebrating the past Soho last night, He is celebrating it himself. In a way that is difficult to escape, and sometimes still difficult to enjoy.

As the SOS message breaks through the cloudy surface of the planet and demands food and help, astronauts and scientists aboard Rubycon ask what, or for whom, it’s worth living or dying. Face a difficult decision.

From our review:

At the emotional level, Rubycon Is a movie about how isolation fosters the attitude of the island, and how easily the horizon shrinks, even if you can see the curvature of the earth through the bedroom window. We can all be involved. But at the moral level, this is a moral play disguised as a thriller in a contained pressure cooker. It is to weigh your responsibilities to yourself and your family against your responsibilities to society. The problem is that the metaphor is so exaggerated that it doesn’t make any sense at all, with the future of mankind on one side of the scale and the three tin cans on the other.
