The 2020 Movies That Aren't Based on Anything

No reboots. No sequels. No adaptations. For MEL, I previewed this year's most intriguing original films. Enjoy!

Some Thoughts on '1917'

How is 1917 like a video game?

Who is almost definitely going to win an Oscar for this movie?

And what World War I film should you see next?

I answer those questions, and more, over at MEL.

Some Thoughts on 'Little Women'

I love Little Women. I get into why over at MEL.

Some Thoughts on 'The Rise of Skywalker'

What it's like to be in your mid-40s and realize that Star Wars isn't the cultural behemoth that it once was?

How much do we all miss the Fox Fanfare before the new Star Wars movies?

And what's the single best moment from the original trilogy?

I answer those questions, and more, over at MEL.

Some Thoughts on 'Bombshell'

Is calling a movie "timely" actually a compliment?

Just how important is it to play a real person if you're gunning for an Oscar?

And what do "Peace in L.A" and "Let's Roll" have in common?

I answer those questions, and more, in my piece on Bombshell for MEL.

Some Thoughts on 'Richard Jewell'

Why does America treat its homegrown heroes so shabbily?

What is "Macarena" doing in a Clint Eastwood movie?

And what are we to make of the Kathy Scruggs controversy?

I talk about all that, and Muhammad Ali, over at MEL.
