It has been 13 good, long years since I exited an opening night showing ofChristopherNolan’s dream heist pic,Inception. From then until now, I have been haunted byInception’s confounding, debate-worthy final shot. It’s a shot that has ignited many a debate, left many of us taking shaky drags on a metaphorical cigarette as we pore over every frame for answers, and left us endlessly rewinding into the long night as we grasp onto every preceding moment hoping for some grand revelation....

Editor’s note: The below contains spoilers for the Yellowstone Season 5 finale. Yellowstone’s Season 5 finale, “Life is a Promise,” is a significant event for plenty of reasons. Not only does it mark the end of the long-running Western series, but it also caps off the latest — and bloodiest — power struggle for the Dutton family. It did so despiteKevin Costnerdeparting the series earlier in the season, which led tothe death of John Dutton....

Known for its mind-bending narrative, incredible performances, top-notch direction byChristopher Nolan, andastoundingHans Zimmerscore,Inceptionis widely regarded as one ofthe best sci-fi films ever. Its storyline invites audiences on a journey through dreams within dreams, delving into themes of reality, memory, guilt, and even redemption. Naturally, considering all these thought-provoking topics, it is not the least surprising that it counts on several memorable lines. Inception’s dialogue is a key aspect of the movie, particularly because it resonates with audiences as it offers a glimpse into the landscape of its philosophical, flawed, and overall complex characters....

From 2015 to the present, there has been a growth in the love, respect, and admiration that the animation industry receives. This extends to television, and as a result, the past decade has seenthe production of some of the greatest animated TV shows in history. From beautiful cartoons that the whole family can enjoy to Adult Swim originals that aredefinitelynot family-friendly, animated television is better today than ever before. From anime to Hollywood animation, from cable to streaming, from the dark to the comedic, the late 2010s and early 2020s have proved that animation is a medium as worthy of respect and appreciation as live-action, and animated television is no exception....

“I look at the world and I see absurdity all around me.“David Lynchis the auteur behind surreal masterpieces likeTwin PeaksandMulholland Drive. His films often feature dream-like non-linear narratives and violent imagery. He has an eye for horrifying visuals (the baby inEraserheadcomes to mind), but his interest in character and psychology elevates his work above mere schlock.

Once a year in cinema is over and done with, it’s fair game to assess overall and look back on how strong it was for movies. So, sure, 2022 wasn’t all that long ago, in the overall scheme of things, and it’s going to be a long time before it was, objectively, a long time ago. And it was a good year; plenty of great movies that might well eventually be considered classics, once enough time has passed....

For most viewers these days, a goodRotten Tomatoes scoreis the first thing they look for when trying to find something new to watch. The score, which is calculated based on the number of positive reviews a movie or show has received from recognized critics, has faced its share ofcriticisms, but it is still a widely used tool that’s usually quite reliable. A 100% Rotten Tomatoes score is, therefore, a mark of honor equivalent to any major award....

It’s not exactly easy to become an infamously “bad” director. Most of the time, to be known as a maker of convoluted catastrophes or droning bores, you have to be noticeably talented in some way and – for lack of a better word – misuse that unique ability to make compromised products. For all his one-dimensional, hugely false depictions of war and the military,Michael Baypossesses tremendous skill to orchestrate product-placement free-for-alls masquerading as explosive, action-driven bonanzas like theTransformersfilms....

And just like that, the year is almost over. So far, 2024 has seen some of the most incredible works in cinema in recent years, and as the last page of the calendar turns, Netflix has one final round of treats in store for fans to enjoy. FromBlake Lively’s hit romantic drama,It Ends with Us, to the story of a one-of-a-kind Irish rapper trio, December will see some good titles released on the streamer....

AsAgents of S.H.I.E.L.D.winds down its fourth (and possibly final?) season, the show has set a great standard for how to navigate those long, 22-episode network orders. By splitting its season up into three parts – Ghost Rider, Life Model Decoys, and Agents of Hydra – the show has been able to really dive into some great mini-arcs without being enslaved to one Big Bad. It’s a lesson a show likeThe Flashin particular could learn from....
