MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE is so sloppily written, it only makes sense as the protagonist’s sad delusion. My review of a film that explicitly says violence isn’t the answer and doesn’t define masculinity, in which violence literally solves everything and proves you’re a real man, is at @thewrap.com

'Masters of the Universe' Review: A Confused and Embarrassed Sci-Fi Fantasy Flop

Nicholas Galitzine and Jared Leto star in a live-action toy commercial so sloppy, it could kill 1980s nostalgia for good.

MANDALORIAN & GROGU: finally, they made a Star War for me to despise! Some cute moments can’t save it from feeling terminally dull & offensively inoffensive. Feels like marathoning the blandest episodes of the show that are also totally inessential. A waste of time & potential.

The force is all about balance. Between dark and light. Between good and evil. Between political reckoning and fart jokes. 🎭 From Chaucer to Shakespeare to Andor you need that contrast of human emotions to bring your themes home – both within each story and across the Star Wars franchise.

Unfortunately did not love MOTHER MARY, a wordy chamber piece that’s too interested in subtext over narrative, and likely would’ve been better served as a play. www.slashfilm.com/2147646/moth...

Though its visual ambition and lead performances are commendable, Mother Mary is emotionally distant and ultimately unsatisfying. Here's our review.

Got my copy of the Arrow 4K of 1979’s SALEM’S LOT. Looks lovingly curated as always. Got me thinking that I hope someone gives Gary Dauberman’s version a similar treatment someday. I still think it had more going for it than its poor reputation suggests!

The Illumination SUPER MARIO movies exist at a fascinatingly awful discourse nexus. “Animation is NOT just for children” “this is JUST a kids movie!” + “video game/IP adaptations MUST look EXACTLY like Original” + “for the fans” + “what, you don’t like fun??”

If I have any advice for trans women existing in this world, when you are out in public, don't you ever lower your head. If you are nervous, embarrassed, scared, whatever, do not let them know that you are anything less than as powerful as you are. Chins up ALWAYS.
