I’m an actor and a filmmaker and a writer and a reader and a gamer and a dancer and a bicycler and a vegan. I used to do this on Twitter or whatever it’s called now and then I did it on Threads and now I’m here.

…embracing the film’s nonsensical, unpredictable, often ludicrous and thoroughly impractical nature — which demands you scrutinize nothing — is what makes “Practical Magic” such an amusing romp, and is maybe the movie’s most successful spell - Maya Salam Streaming now on www.hbomax.com

...the contradictions, many of which exist everywhere, but which are already crashing against each other here. That's what I tried to show in "Zabriskie Point" - Michelangelo Antonioni Streaming now on www.criterionchannel.com

The picture uses disconnectedness and alienation to drive the drama, rather than depending on bullet-time choreography to keep the audience riveted or, for that matter, awake - Elvis Mitchel on “Infernal Affairs” Streaming now on www.criterionchannel.com

Who could have known that by the time Bigelow’s movie opened, reality would look more like “Dr. Strangelove”? - Manohla Dargis on “A House of Dynamite” Streaming on www.netflix.com

“Superman” is carefully constructed, with just enough plausible deniability that it’s not technically about anything in our real world. But it also has masked bad guys with guns dragging random people away to be imprisoned in cages where nobody can find them - Alissa Wilkinson www.hbomax.com

Jenkins’ one and only feature weaves living history, charged and messy, into a homespun, hopeful tale. It’s impossible not to wonder about — and wish for — what he might have done next - Sheri Linden on “Cane River” Streaming until the end of the month on www.criterionchannel.com

But it’s really Fiennes who is the heart and soul of “[28 Years Late:]The Bone Temple” — he appears to have had the time of his life making this movie — and if there’s anything I quibble with, it’s that there’s not enough of him - Alissa Wilkinson Streaming now on www.netflix.com

Mr. Cameron has made a swift, exciting special-effects epic that thoroughly justifies its vast expense and greatly improves upon the first film's potent but rudimentary visual style - Janet Maslin on “Terminator 2: Judgement Day” Streaming now on www.kanopy.com

Glazer peers into the abyss but wisely doesn’t attempt to “explain” the Holocaust. Notably Rudolf and Hedwig don’t spew Nazi ideology; they embody it, which is foundational to the movie’s conceit - Manohla Dargis on “The Zone of Interest” Streaming now on www.kanopy.com

"Barton Fink" has the manner of a work that was written in a high old halcyon rush, of a screenplay that announced itself and took form without a lot of nervous pushing and probing to give it existence - Vincent Canby Streaming until the end of the month on www.criterionchannel.com

Mr. Kon's cool, comic-book style defuses the sentimental excess. Instead, the characters, with their frozen, emphatic expressions and exaggerated voices, take on an appealing eccentricity - A. O. Scott on “Tokyo Godfathers” Streaming until the end of the month on www.criterionchannel.com

Wrenching and at times suffocating, “If I Had Legs I’d Kick You” is a howl of maternal desperation spiked with jagged humor - Jeannette Catsoulis

[“Marty Supreme”] touches on big, weighty subjects like Jewish identity, family, community, class, assimilation and success, but it isn’t didactic and doesn’t serve up any life lessons, in the pious finger-wagging manner of many American independent movies - Manohla Dargis

“Song Sung Blue” taps into something ineffable... The couple’s earnestness sounds mockable, but it’s not: They are too sincere, too joyful and too grateful to be doing the only thing that either of them ever wanted to do - Jeanette Catsoulis

“Barking Dogs Never Bite” really caught me by surprise. It’s incredibly dark. It’s very funny, and it’s got a really sweet center. It felt appropriate to see ads for payday loans, and gambling apps stuck throughout - I wonder if he would appreciate the meta commentary… Streaming on www.tubi.com

A movie that teeters close to apocalyptic despair but also, because Bong is finally an idealist & not only one of the great filmmakers working today, lifts you to the skies - Manohla Dargis on “Mickey 17” streaming on www.hbomax.com

The image of these hapless men, who belong to a postwar generation born in the grip of authoritarianism, standing helplessly by as one after another woman brutally dies has a blunt-force power that needs no explanation - Manohla Dargis on “Memories of Murder” streaming on www.tubi.com

“…this isn’t a story about state and institutional power. It is, rather, about commonplace people whose existence is a rejoinder to, and at times a bulwark against, the depredations of that power - Manohla Dargis on “The Secret Agent”

This is a surprising movie. It’s violent, it’s bloody, it’s sadistic, but it is also well acted and directed. It is R rated. Don’t go unless you like strong action pictures, but I must say I did like it - Roger Ebert on “The Terminator” Streaming now on www.Netflix.com and www.kanopy.com
