I always thought Superman was special. He flew, was strong and had superpowers no one else had. Writer/Director James Gunn’s Superman is just one among many superior metabeings crowding Earth. Who is the villain?

The master of “Body Horror” once again goes deep into the mutilation of the body, the intimacy of death and spiritual resurrection of a loved one. It is fascinating and macabre.

The best way to see this is in 4DX. Hey, these two “nepo” actors (Quaid and Nicholson) have real talent. Both have worked their way through many minor roles instead of using famous parents for starring in movies.

A Cursed Man

As the widespread belief in witchcraft and curses exists, there is enough history to accept it as a real phenomenon. Le Guillou’s travel documentary challenging the subject, brings it into the mainstream. Don’t bring your small children to Rwanda.

The music is terrific, Chalamet is fantastic but there is no insight into Bob Dylan. I know nothing about Bob Dylan. It’s like reading Dylan’s Wikipedia page. Why did he hate being idolized? What happened with Baez?

It is creepy, odd but with a terrific transformation. Only the “Wolf Man” has a personality. His wife and child are more interested in his changing instead of their own survival. A hunter has a farmhouse without any killing weapons? Where were the rifles?

Sing along screenings? The songs were forgettable. The “dancing” was horrible. Glinda is snarky. Elphaba is a downtrodden Cinderella. I’ll face the world’s wrath - it was awful. Grande is so skinny her face does not have any flesh to form expressions.

Miserable, lonely, washed-up Callas has no friends. Maria is about: “Did you call your doctor?” and “Move the piano.” The diva is clinically depressed. Her history as a dumped woman is her legacy. Jolie unwisely trusted her director. Jolie is furniture.

It’s a hardship to watch. Itis all Coppola’s ego. He had the extra $120 million to do it. It’s a Fentanyl-laced LSD hallucination. The problem is Adam Driver – he did exactly what he was told to do. I do not like to be sermonized by multi-millionaires.

I must urge the Academy Awards to make a new category: Best Performance by an Animal. This is a category that has been sadly ignored. There are a lot of working animals who deserve recognition for helping assist a star build their character.

Zero charisma between Edgar-Jones and Powell. Edgar-Jones doesn’t even give Hollywood’s newest sexy heartthrob a look. Fragile Edgar-Jones single-handedly saves a town from disaster as limping Powell stays safe in a shelter.

Yes, it is a gorgeous production but not a masterpiece. I’ll be brave and say it: Walken is a feeble lopsided emperor, Bardem is over-acting in his own movie and Bautista’s emotional decimal is higher than everyone else. Only Butler ignites the movie.

Napoleon was a weepy, masochist, a so-so general who was forced to be emperor. He loved only one woman and cried when he divorced her. He wanted Josephine instead of an heir for the Bonaparte dynasty. France will not forgive Ridley Scott for the insult.
