By Rafael Motamayor/March 11, 2022 11:00 am EST Warning: This article contains major spoilers for “The Batman.” Please proceed with caution.

This utterly enchanting, frequently disturbing stop-motion anthology arrives on Netflix today, and while the year just started, I think it just might be the first great movie of 2022. Hyperbole? Perhaps. But when a film comes along from seemingly nowhere and bewitches me so, I get excited....

The fact of the matter is, to compete against other giants like Disney and Netflix, it is going to require a lot of content that can cast a wide net. Well, at the very least, Warner Bros. Discovery is going to have a ridiculous amount of content and distribution channels at its disposal, ranging from one of the biggest movies studios on the planet to a huge swath of popular cable channels....

Batman Movies Ranked From Worst To Best

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) Warner Bros. “Zack Snyder’s Justice League” is a wildly ambitious and entertaining ride, but the filmmaker’s first big DCEU team-up is an insult to the senses. Not only is the clumsily titled “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” the worst Batman film, but it’s also the worst Superman film, DC film, and comic book film in general. It’s the worst movie featuring a character named Martha, the worst non-existent court case, and so on — you name it, and this is the worst version of it....

Perhaps for the broodier among us, the thought has occurred that if we were to suddenly drop dead, countless would pop out of the woodwork to lament our loss.

Doctor Strange 2 Co-Star Michael Stuhlbarg Must Have A Hell Of An Agent Marvel Studios By Mike Shutt/May 8, 2022 3:20 pm EST It comes as no surprise that Marvel Studios has been able to entice loads of our finest actors to join its endless, ongoing cinematic universe. These are the biggest movies going around right now and they afford so many performers steady, hefty paychecks. Movies with sizable budgets that are not filled with spandex-clad superheroes are in short supply, so if you want to make some decent coin, you need to get on the payroll for Marvel or DC (or for someone else trying to be Marvel or DC)....

How Possession Changed Isabelle Adjani Forever Gaumont By Lee Adams/Feb. 25, 2022 1:23 pm EST Some of the most indelible performances in cinema seem to come from a place beyond acting. One of the greatest ever committed to film was from Renée Maria Falconetti in Carl Theodor Dreyer’s “The Passion of Joan of Arc,” which gives us an unbearable intimacy with the young martyr as she faces her cruel inquisitors. For all the director’s severe stylistic choices, it is Falconetti’s raw emotion that lingers the most....
