Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023) – James Mangold
[25-WR]
Great for what it is: a moving-train jump into ageless redemption from the shards of bad casting trampling all over their own crystal skulls.
[25-WR]
Across the Universe (2007) – Julie Taymor
[25-WR]
Unannounced musical pushing Dear Patience for the trailer-allergic expecting pure dialog. It sugar-shocks with its spiral-singing flopping in steady but annoying beauty.
[25-WR]
Lost (2004-2010) – J.J Abrams
[25-WR]
Season one is condescendingly sexy in a poor man’s Hollywood/Holloway sort of way while sometimes delivering quality twists provided one’s disbelief gets suspended enough.
[25-WR]
The Lighthouse (2019) – Robert Eggers
[25-WR]
Picture-pitch perfect except for the sound of farts offensively trapping a scattered
plot inside of a frame that hits one square between the eyes.
[25-WR]
Everything Everywhere All At Once (2022) – Dan Kwan
[25-WR]
With a completely incomprehensible and visual-demanding plot it’s easy to look stunning nowadays.
But nailing it with a well, bagel-circular story is rare.

The Northman (2022) Robert Eggers
[25-WR]
Balancing historically accurate brutality and well-rounded storytelling, this feast pushes its narrative of avenging men and succumbing women right into viewer‘s eyes and guts.
[25-WR]
Foundryside (2018) The Founders Trilogy – Robert Jackson Bennett
[25-WR]
Matrix-like science, infused into veins of an industrial kingdom, where someone’s imagination could be either the strongest weapon or the road to armageddon itself.
