There are few, if any, revelations here, and some of the fleshed-out backstory is woefully dumb, but Han finally gets the solo adventure he deserves. https://media.wired.com/photos/5b0474eb0864e3415cb90dbd/master/pass/Solo_MovieReview.jpg

‘Venus’ Review: A Delightful, Cross-Cultural Transgender Comedy [New York Indian Film Festival]
I’m going to spoil Venus for you up front: it’s a film that ends happily. This isn’t so much a spoiler, though, as much as it is a reassurance of what becomes amply clear mere minutes in. It’s a family comedy – in tone, structure and everything else – and thus, it’s a queer narrative […]
Strictly Ballroom review: Will Young steals the show in delightful Baz Luhrmann adaptation
Scott Hastings is a prodigiously talented dancer, who is determined to create his own steps, thereby defying the corrupt, conservative president of the Australian Dance Federation, Barry Fife. In the process, he ditches his glamorous, bespangled partner, Liz, for the dowdy, bespectacled newcomer, Fran. Luhrmann originally wrote the story for the stage, to which director/choreographer […]

Watch the Delightful First Trailer for Wes Anderson’s ‘Isle of Dogs’
Back in 2009, Wes Anderson took what seemed an odd-left turn, artistically speaking, by releasing Fantastic Mr. Fox – not only an adaptation of another author’s work (his first), but a PG-rated family movie, its cast of critters rendered in stop-motion animation. Yet as strange as the project initially sounded, he ended up creating a […]
Tooth and Tail review: Delightful, rodent-riddled StarCraft for the rest of us
Enlarge / Two commanders. Two armies. One bloody, rodent-filled battle. Welcome to Tooth and Tail. (credit: Pocketwatch Games) StarCraft II thought it had the secret to delivering a truly accessible version of its predecessor. The original game’s troop-management battles are unmatched in terms of balance, so the sequel directed more attention to QoL tweaks like resource management, unit assignments, […]
Watch An Alternate Version of the Delightful ‘Wonder Woman’ Boat Scene
One of the many reasons why Wonder Woman worked so well was because it was unafraid to make a joke. Gal Gadot wasn’t just an inspiring superhero, but a surprisingly deft comedian, delivering lines like, “My mother sculpted me from clay and I was brought to life by Zeus” with an admirably straight face.
