The Star Wars Holiday Special is a testimony to avarice.

With Frozen II warming the hearts of children everywhere, it's the perfect time to reflect on the film that started it all. Is Frozen as good as we remember?

Structurally, it works. Aesthetically, it dazzles. Narratively and musically, it’s seen better days.

Ford v. Ferrari is a fun slow-burn drama for those seeking an alternative to mainstream Hollywood excess.

I'm not sure Midway is a movie everyone would enjoy as much as I did. As a military history nerd, there's a lot of content and history here to consider, but the script is weak and littered with boiled down Hollywoodized action-movie cliches.
