    The Creator

    ★★★★

    Consider us surprised, but despite our preconceived notions, The Creator is a stone-cold, sci-fi throwback that absolutely works. Director Gareth Edwards pulls pieces from films like Blade Runner, Star Wars, & Apocalypse Now to deliver a visually stunning thriller. Edwards drives this film by drawing from so many great directors that came before him to create his own unique style. John David Washington shines as an undercover US officer fighting to understand a world dominated by AI- a story which has…

    Falling Down

    ★★★

    “I’m the bad guy?” 

    In one of the better performances of Michael Douglas’s career, Falling Down is a solid movie I would strongly recommend. Douglas is a man at the end of his rope who goes crazy on anyone who crosses him. This is an all-time Los Angeles film, as Douglas bobs & weaves his entire way through the city as he runs into one conflict after another.

    ★★★★★

    In his third feature film Nope, Jordan Peele affirms he is a master storyteller & this generation's Hitchcock. Through deliberate, tactile pieces, Peele brings the fear of darkness to light & does as so many great horror directors before him: slowly pull you in then quickly drag you under. Peele works the audience like few directors I can remember. Then there's Daniel Kaluuya, Peele's ultimate muse. The entire cast, especially Steven Yeun, shine- but Kaluuya continues to show something new with each role. He's so unpredictable & so intense. Another brilliant collaboration between the two. Nope equals WOW.

    The Batman

    ★★★★★

    As a masterful, gripping mystery thriller, The Batman smashes our already stout expectations. In the performance of his career, Pattinson is the perfect emo rendition of Bruce Wayne. Reeves displays brilliant direction as he takes audiences through a compact, detailed mystery. And without question, the cast is flawless. Not enough can be said about Zoe Kravitz, John Turturro, Jeffrey Wright, & Collin Farrel, but sorry, Paul Dano. Paul Dano, Paul Dano....and Paul Dano. We're so happy for Dano who, at 37, finally gets his shine in a massive blockbuster. Go see The Batman: it's a definitive comic book hit.
