A ★★★★½ review of BlackBerry (2023)
God it took me a second to realize that was Matt Johnson. I'm a bad Nirvana the Band the Show fan lol. This was fantastic, anti-biopics like The Social Network and Steve Jobs are some of my favorite movies, but it was really cool to see that formula get put on a tech company that ended up failing. The former two movies showed how corrupt a tech bro with power can get, but they always ended up winning to some extent.

Shrek movie review & film summary (2001) | Roger Ebert
Shrek movie review & film summary (2001) | Roger Ebert
There is a moment in "Shrek" when the despicable Lord Farquaad has the Gingerbread Man tortured by dipping him into milk. This prepares us for another moment when Princess Fiona's singing voice is so piercing it causes jolly little bluebirds to explode; making the best of a bad situation, she fries their eggs. This is not your average family cartoon. "Shrek" is jolly and wicked, filled with sly in-jokes and yet somehow possessing a heart.

There Is More Than One Way to Be Exhausted by “Turning Red”
There Is More Than One Way to Be Exhausted by “Turning Red”
In its attempt to celebrate Chinese Canadian culture and destigmatize menstruation, the Pixar film manages to be both hyper-specific and alienating.
If one sees the movie as too sexualized or adult-themed for a young audience, that suggests only the conservatism and squeamishness of the critic.
I mean… yes.

It’s time to reboot the Hollywood movie franchise
When it comes to once-lucrative franchises, the strategy is to make more movies, ask questions later. Now that many of the biggest franchises in cinema history are either ending, on hiatus, or dealing with major creative problems, Hollywood needs to rethink its whole process.
