This is the first Mad Max movie that feels like a movie. The first two feel like, I don’t know, gritty portraits of a world gone sideways. This one feels like a production, like Hollywood got its clammy hands on it.
The Road Warrior delivers in every scene and is destined to become required educational viewing as we continue to tempt the apocalypse with our every waking action.
Mad Max is a blast from the first frame. It opens on a guy watching a couple having sex through a rifle scope and moves straight into a car chase replete with the impressive stunts and screaming, speed obsessed lunatics us modern Max fans have come to know and love.
I’m a Pullman fan myself, but I’ve never stood around at a party quoting lines and debating his best work. Bill Paxton, yes, many times, god rest him, but not Pullman. Why is that?
Alice in Borderland doesn’t like to explain itself, but it’s only the first season. Lost ran for 6 seasons and not one time did it ever think to tell its viewers what was going on.
It you’re already a fan of Korean horror classics like The Host and Train to Busan, you will love this. If you are new to Korean horror, this is a great place to start. It’s a graveyard smash.
Maybe it’s strange robot behavior. Like the scene where Mackie walks 20 feet with his arms crossed. That’s weird, right? Do people walk with their arms crossed? Do robots?
The history of the Old English epic poem known as Beowulf – the manuscript is untitled – is mysterious and complicated. It’s around a thousand years old, no one knows who wrote it, and there’s an outside chance it’s actually about a talking bear.
Every second Pedro Pascal is on screen in Prospect, The Mandalorian gets worse. He is magnetic. Humble. Wily. To short his electricity behind an expressionless metal mask is an affront.
My Octopus Teacher is zoomed all the way in. It’s the study of one tiny patch of kelp forest. It’s like an interview with one of the Blue Planet camera people. What was it like spending all that time with these animals? What did it feel like the first time a dolphin swam up and booped your nose? Mind-blowing? I bet.
