@lisalamanfilmfan.bsky.social declares IS GOD IS a remarkable, not-to-be-missed achievement.

LEE CRONIN'S THE MUMMY sometimes plays more like a gross-out dark comedy than a typical Mummy film, explains @lisalamanfilmfan.bsky.social. Sadly, it too often embraces familiarity and lore obsession over those creative choices.

While @lisalamanfilmfan.bsky.social indentifies charms in NORMAL, particularly Bob Odenkirk's performance, but ultimately finds the film too complicated and talky for its own good.

Ryan Gosling has charm to spare in the energetic and entertaining PROJECT HAIL MARY, says @ungajje.bsky.social.

SCARPETTA's scenes set in the past are excellent, says @ungajje.bsky.social . By contrast, the scenes in the present are frequently loud, chaotic, and overstay their welcome.

WAR MACHINE is a solid action sci-fi film elevated by practical effects and a strong direction by Patrick Hughes, says @ungajje.bsky.social . It sadly makes little room for personality, though.

ROOSTER doesn't yet seem to have figured out what show it is going to be, notes @ungajje.bsky.social . He's not sure how long it can afford not knowing.

VLADIMIR gets plenty right about the motivating qualities and limitations of desire, but fumbles when it tries to make hot takes on issues of power, consent, and more, says @ungajje.bsky.social
