A couple of weeks ago, I complained about the length of fight scenes in superhero movies. As if sent by the gods, we now have Wonder Woman , a superhero movie with mercifully short fight scenes and a sensibility unlike maybe any other superhero movie I’ve seen.

Even after a couple of days, I have to admit that I’m still not sure how I feel about The Lovers .

Stay with me here, because the premise of Colossal is not normal.

How long should a superhero battle last? This is the main question that was running through my mind as I watched Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2 . What I mean is, how do the filmmakers know when a battle is over?

I don’t know if you know this, but it turns out that technology can be used for good and for evil. That’s the lesson of The Circle , the latest in a long, long line of movies that tell us that the shiny new tech thing we love so much might not be so good after all.

I’d rather not spend all of my time comparing T2: Trainspotting to the original Trainspotting , but the mere fact that they’ve made a sequel after 20 years to one of the most stylistically influential movies of these past two decades practically demands comparison.

As complicated as it is, it probably makes the most sense to start out by trying to tell you the basic plot of Your Name , which has rocketed to become the highest grossing anime film of all time.

Not to get too cute, but Ghost In the Shell has a gorgeous shell with almost nothing inside.
