Dune (1984)
No matter how much spice is in play in the 1984 version of Dune, this cinematic stew is almost inedible.
Players
Mack learns that when it comes to relationships, sometimes the right play is no play. We learn the same lesson—as in don’t play this movie.
The Iron Claw
The Iron Claw ends with satisfying catharsis. But getting to that moment in this true wrestling story is a path paved with pain.
Upgraded
Upgraded is a bit of a downgrade for families interested in a light-hearted romcom.
American Fiction
American Fiction gives us plenty to ponder, but while it’s well-made, wickedly biting and surprisingly poignant, it comes with plenty of issues, too.
The Book of Clarence
The Book of Clarence is entertaining, insightful and a wee bit unhinged. But you should think twice before adding it to your own cinematic canon.
I.S.S.
As interested in the International Space Station you may be, I.S.S. isn’t the film to watch if you want any sort of realistic representation of it.

The Godfather won Best Picture in 1973. But this iconic mob drama packs a content punch as well as a cinematic one.
