My biggest surprise of the year, since I'm on record as not being a fan of the first film. James Cameron's movie event of the year, Avatar: The Way of Water is a massive improvement over the first film. The themes of environ…
Rian Johnson's follow-up to Knives Out, this film has a killer cast (Ed Norton, Daniel Craig, Janelle Monae, Dave Bautista, Kate Hudson, Leslie Odom Jr., and Kathryn Hahn), impeccably sharp, impish, clever writing, and beaut…
