Not a super strong Sundance this year, but still a decent crop of films that I liked! Here are the best of the 43 I got to see: avclub.com/best-films-sun…

Love Hurts is a very dumb, very thin action-comedy but it sure does have some funny moments avclub.com/love-hurts-rev…

Surrealism CAN remind you to care for yourself, your neighbor, your home. It's our Universal Language: avclub.com/universal-lang…

Now that it's on Criterion and not just available from rips of a decade-old Italian MGM DVD, I dug into Godard's King Lear for The A.V. Club: avclub.com/cult-of-criter…

I have been a hater of the completely incoherent governmental politics of superhero movies since minute one, and I am very happy Jacob Oller gave me support to interrogate why for The A.V. Club. Mr President, you are a hulk. avclub.com/marvel-cinemat…

Back on my Stephen King beat writing about Oz Perkins, The Monkey, and the personal ways we greet death avclub.com/the-monkey-pag…

Mickey 17 is as shaggy as its furry little alien grubs but another hilarious little alien grub (Robert Pattinson) makes the whole wild, angry mess hang together: avclub.com/mickey-17-revi…

In this excerpt from my book CINEMA HER WAY, Karyn Kusama talks about JENNIFER’S BODY, DESTROYER, and JEANNE DIELMAN! avclub.com/cinema-her-way…

O'Dessa is Walk Hard meets Jupiter’s Ascending and my god I wish it was any good avclub.com/odessa-review

It's nice that Snow White actually tries some new things (even if they mostly fail)! Rachel Zegler is a movie star. Gal Gadot is terrible. The hard drives that store the dwarfs should be taken out back and beaten with bats, Office Space style avclub.com/snow-white-rev…

A Minecraft Movie is somehow both the most annoyingly generic version of a video game adaptation AND the most "anything goes" adaptation since Mario and Luigi went to Dinohattan avclub.com/a-minecraft-mo…

Jennifer Coolidge hits a fleshy video game monster with her car, and that's not even the weirdest moment of A Minecraft Movie. avclub.com/a-minecraft-mo…
