Obi-Wan Kenobi 2022
I’m just numb to Star Wars at this point. Help us Cassian Andor, you’re our only hope.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness 2022
Ya know what? Problems aside, this film is so damn rewatchable. The highs stood out even more this go around and though he didn’t write the script, I felt more of Raimi’s touch, narratively, too. Scarlet Witch is just 🤌🏻

Spider-Man: No Way Home 2021
Spider-Man No Way Home is the tale of 2 halves. First is everything I feared, cheap, gratuitous, nostalgia mixed w/ randomness and nonsense. Second is the quintessential Spider-Man story I’ve WANTED from Holland. Packs an emotional wallop & some of the best Spidey moments ever. Messy but satisfying.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness 2022
If Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness proves one thing it’s if you hire Sam Raimi to make a movie, you better damn well have him HEAVILY involved in the writers room. MASSIVE disconnect between the script & Raimi’s creative ambitions. Simultaneously some of the best AND worst of the MCU.
When Raimi’s allowed to be goofy, mean spirited & sincere ORGANICALLY holy shit sparks fly. His vision for Strange is passionate & strong, wonderfully melodramatic & campy but good god is it…
