    The Menu

    ★★★★

    If The Menu is a metaphor for critics and the overall consumption of art, then Nicholas Hoult is your average Letterboxd user. Yes, you.

  • The Thing

    The Thing

    ★★★★

    Yes, it's not accurate to its source material, but it's a really interesting and bizarre adaptation. I hope one day we'll get to see John Carpenter's interpretation of the other Fantastic Four characters.

    Doctor Who: Wild Blue Yonder

    RTD to Moffat: I see your Heaven Sent, and raise you Midnight 2.0.

    RTD tries to do Midnight/The Waters of Mars mixed with a healthy dose of Event Horizon, The Thing, and...Spy Kids? The result is exactly as you'd expect. Fun, exciting, harmless, and not at all the 60th anniversary special it honestly should be. But it's good to have some great Doctor Who TV on screen again so who am I to complain? Best Dr. Who content in over…
