IT: CHAPTER TWO

Second verse, same as the first.  And that's not necessarily a bad thing.

2019

Directed by Andy Muschietti

Written by Gary Dauberman (based on the novel It by Stephen King)

Spoiler alert: moderate

The first superman couldn't fly

GLASS

M. Night Shyamalan's least bad movie in years.

2019

Written and directed by M. Night Shyamalan

Spoiler alert: highish, I guess, but nothing you'd be unlikely to figure out yourself

The neon demon

ATOMIC BLONDE

Flawed but unforgettable, Atomic Blonde is certainly something to see (and, albeit only intermittently, something to hear, too).

2017

Directed by David Leitch

Written by Kurt Johnstad

With Charlize Theron (Lorraine Broughton), James McAvoy (David Percival), Toby Jones (Eric Gray), John Goodman (Emmett Kurzfeld), James Faulker ('C'), Sofia Boutella (Delphine Lasalle), Roland Moller (Aleksander Bremovych), and Johannes Haukur Johanneson (Yuri Bakhtin)

Hedwig and the angry witch

SPLIT

There's fun to be had, albeit in the sense that there's usually a certain kind of "fun to be had" from sitting through any M. Night Shyamalan film.  Sometimes, however, he seems like he's even in on the joke here, and that's when Split is pretty good.  But then, sometimes, he is the joke.  And that's when Split is very, very bad.

2017
Written and directed by M. Night Shyamalan

With Anya Taylor-Joy (Casey), Haley Lu Richardson (Claire), Jessica Shula (Marcia), Betty Buckley (Dr. Karen Fletcher), and James McAvoy (Kevin... et cetera)

Spoiler alert: moderate

At least everyone agrees that the third film in a series is always the worst!

X-MEN: APOCALYPSE

A letdown of massive proportions (in all but one very crucial way, that is, since I guess I'll never not be impressed by Bryan Singer's super-speed shenanigans).  But, as for everything except Quicksilver, X-Men: Apocalypse kind of sucks.  It kind of sucks hard.

2016
Directed by Bryan Singer

Written by Simon Kinberg, Michael Dougherty, Dan Harris, and Bryan Singer

With James McAvoy (Prof. Charles Xavier), Michael Fassbender (Magneto), Evan Peters (Peter Maximoff), Jennifer Lawrence (Mystique), Nicholas Hoult (Hank McCoy), Tye Sheridan (Scott Summers), Rose Byrne (Moira MacTaggert), Sophie Turner (Jean Grey), Kodi Smitt-McPhee (Kurt Wagner), Alexandra Shipp (Ororo Munroe), Olivia Munn (Psylocke), Ben Hardy (Angel), and Oscar Isaac (En Sabah Nur)

Spoiler alert: moderate

Worse lieutenant

FILTH

I might say things about other movies like "You'll never see it coming!" in regards to a great twist or surprising denouement, but with Filth, I mean it, and I mean it in regards to every single scene.  This is insanity on film.

2014
Written and directed by Jon S. Baird (based on the novel by Irvine Welsh)
With James McAvoy (Detective Sergeant Bruce)

Spoiler alert: mild

The new movie with my favorite superhero is out! Also starring his son Quicksilver

X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST

Future perfect.  [Insert equally dumbassed X-pun here.]

2014
Directed by Bryan Singer
Written by Simon Kinberg, Jane Goldman, and Matthew Vaughn
With Michael Fassbender (Magneto), Ian McKellan (Magneto), James McAvoy (Professor X), Patrick Stewart (Professor X), Hugh Jackman (Wolverine), Nicholas Hoult (Beast), Jennifer Lawrence (Mystique), Peter Dinklage (Bolivar Trask), and Evan Peters (Quicksilver)

Spoiler alert: moderate

Taste the rainbow, feel its length

TRANCE

A delightfully throwback thriller that's far more about crafting imagery than it is about anything you're particularly likely to give a shit about, like sensible or comprehensible plotting, how brains work, or, until its last surprisingly functional moments, character.  But it's so gorgeous, I rarely minded.

2013
Directed by Danny Boyle
Written by Joe Ehearne and John Hodge
With Rosario Dawson (Elizabeth), James McAvoy (Simon), and Vincent Cassel (Franck)
