This is a clear attempt at a new franchise and is fun enough that it just might succeed.

Kudos to everyone involved for taking a big swing on this and connecting impressively.

While Joy Ride is formulaic, in the end, what actually matters is if it’s funny. It is. Very.

Asteroid City, hits all the notes a Wes Anderson aficionado would hope for, and then a few extra on top of that.

It is consistently enjoyable, smart in its ridiculousness and I laughed a lot.

It is certainly not a terrible experience. Still, it is hard to recommend it when Pixar has done so much better, so many times.

Even when it gets frustrating, Sanctuary is intriguing.

A well-written, well-acted, intelligent, funny movie about people trying to do their best, while being unsure if there’s a point.

I sort of enjoyed Renfield, even though the individual pieces tell me I should have loved it.

The result is thoroughly okay and instantly forgettable.
