Finch (2021)::rating::3.5
As we drift through the pandemic doldrums, one thing is becoming increasingly clear to me: Covid-19 has permanently altered us as a movie audience. When we see Finch Weinberg (Tom Hanks) ambling through the eerie stillness of a post-apocalyptic world, it hits differently now. His uneasy blend of loneliness, anxiety, and plucky…

Eternals (2021)::rating::3
Compared to the twenty five movies that came before it, Eternals occupies the most distant orbit in Marvel's sprawling cinematic galaxy. We only hear a few references to Thanos and the Avengers, and even those feel wedged in by obligated screenwriters. This narrative independence means that Eternals can be judged largely on its…

Dune (2021)::rating::3.5
Dune viewers will likely fall into one of two categories: The first are rabid devotees of Frank Herbert's epic novel, who've been frothing for a definitive cinematic adaptation.

Aliens (1986)::rating::4.5
Aliens pulls off a unique feat in cinema history: With this sequel, James Cameron delivers a brawny masterwork that completely reorients the franchise, without distracting from the landmark film that preceded it. Ridley Scott's Alien had been a brilliant mind-screw that somehow delivered claustrophobic horror amidst the boggling expanse of space. Here,…
