The 2.5-hour AI-generated Odyssey movie is 2.5 hours too long

Christopher Nolan’s engrossing take on The Odyssey dominated at the box office and spurred a newfound interest in classic literature among filmgoers.

Resident Evil is a comedy first and a thrilling nightmare second

When Paul W.S. Anderson’s Resident Evil hit theaters in 2002, video game movies were largely seen as a niche.

The four-hour-long Elon Musk documentary might be preaching to the choir

It makes sense that Musk is a long film. The latest from Alex Gibney, who has previously directed documentaries about Theranos and Steve Jobs, is an impressively thorough retelling of the story of Elon Musk, from his early days as a dot-com millionaire to “taking a wood chipper” to vital US government departments. In order […]

Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother will make you forget all about Marvel’s Blade disaster

Marvel’s mishandling of its Blade reboot will likely go down as one of the studio’s biggest mistakes. There was a great actor in place to play the vampire hunter (Mahershala Ali), and a promising director set to take over the reins (Bassam Tariq). In retrospect, though, the disappointing demise of Blade might not be such […]
