Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers 2022
Shouldn’t even be remotely as good as it is but wow Rescue Rangers is a genuinely clever and FUNNY Who Framed Roger Rabbit style adventure. Never doubt The Lonely Island.
Oh and good god Tim Robinson had me DEAD in this. What a part 😂 -
The Lost City 2022
Not great, not all that funny…but man does Radcliffe commit and makes things mildly enjoyable. Nice to see a Romancing the Stone-esque adventure flick like this, it’s ultimately harmless, light fair, but definitely falls short of its potential.

Spider-Man: No Way Home 2021
Spider-Man No Way Home is the tale of 2 halves. First is everything I feared, cheap, gratuitous, nostalgia mixed w/ randomness and nonsense. Second is the quintessential Spider-Man story I’ve WANTED from Holland. Packs an emotional wallop & some of the best Spidey moments ever. Messy but satisfying.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness 2022
If Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness proves one thing it’s if you hire Sam Raimi to make a movie, you better damn well have him HEAVILY involved in the writers room. MASSIVE disconnect between the script & Raimi’s creative ambitions. Simultaneously some of the best AND worst of the MCU.
When Raimi’s allowed to be goofy, mean spirited & sincere ORGANICALLY holy shit sparks fly. His vision for Strange is passionate & strong, wonderfully melodramatic & campy but good god is it…
