Why it’s essential viewing HBO Max Given that Waititi directed the first episode on top of co-starring and producing, it’s no shock that “Our Flag Means Death” features the same mix of absurdist humor and pathos as his previous films and TV shows, with much of it coming from Stede and Blackbeard’s respective mid-life crises (as well as Stede’s guilt over leaving his wife and kids to pursue a life of piracy)....

Top Gun: Maverick Spoiler Review: Tom Cruise Flies The Legacy Sequel Route Paramount Pictures By Joshua Meyer/May 29, 2022 12:00 pm EST This review contains spoilers for “Top Gun: Maverick.” As it ushers in the summer movie season post-Memorial Day weekend, “Top Gun: Maverick” doesn’t break a lot of new ground for blockbusters, but that’s not really its mission.
