“Poor Things” could possibly be one of the darkest comedies I’ve ever seen, but what a wonderful experience it was.

“The Oath” will bring back memories of “Gladiator,” which isn’t a bad thing since the second Gladiator is on its way. It’s just not as well produced as a Ridley Scott film.
What an incredible follow-up to Cooper’s, “A Star Is Born.” Cooper has proven himself to be one of the most skilled individuals in Hollywood.

This romantic fantasy, “She Came to Me” was written and directed by Rebecca Miller, which is a considerable feat, mind you, but I find it interesting that several people, including Nicole Kidman and Matthew Broderick, left before production began. The movie is anything but romantic and feels rushed, suggesting that Miller should have considered a more experienced director behind the lens. The story itself wasn’t any better, but maybe someone could have made this piece work. It’s about love. It’s about romance, but those two words must be revised here.
