Community: The Movie
The Early Word: six seasons and a movie, still waiting. Peacock's Community film is not dead, the script is done, the whole cast is in, and the only thing missing is a month where everybody is free at once.
Genre Movies
Movies streaming now and coming soon: honest reviews of the best movies on Netflix, Prime Video, Max and every streamer, with binge-worthy picks and new releases.
The New Mutants (2020)
The strangest death in franchise history: a shelved horror film released to empty theaters. A first screening for careers that mattered later. 5.3 IMDb, 36% RT. Autopsy value.
Deadpool 2 (2018)
The sequel it had to earn: the Juggernaut truck chase, Brolin's war behind the deadpan, a joke that turns sincere at the right instant. 83% RT, 7.7 IMDb. Stay for the post credits.
Deadpool (2016)
The leak that became a franchise: single take highway gore, a sincere love story under the jokes, 8.0 on IMDb from 1.2M. Rewrote the business model.
Dark Phoenix (2019)
The Fox era's end credit scene stretched to 113 minutes: reshoot damage on screen, a real beautiful team shot, the quiet McAvoy and Lawrence scenes worth the fare. 22% on RT, 5.8 IMDb.
Logan (2017)
The Western they never expected: aging as the monster, Keen's breakout, Stewart's bravest turn. 93% on RT, 8.1 IMDb. The only X-Men film that earns a nine outright.
X-Men: Apocalypse (2016)
Best production design, worst-protected villain: Isaac's Apocalypse hidden from every trailer, a Cairo sky beam where a finale should be. 47% RT, 6.8 IMDb. Still a hell of a team shot.
X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014)
The fix that beat the original: future war despair, a 1973 heist, the Pentagon kitchen scene as the Fox run's purest joy. 90% on RT, 7.9 IMDb from 792K. The high water.
The Wolverine (2013)
The quiet one: Mangold's death-wish samurai film, Logan who cannot dies among people who must. The Xavier graveyard scene is the era's best moment. 70% on RT.
X-Men: First Class (2011)
The reboot that worked: color, 1962, McAvoy and Fassbender erase recast doubts in one scene. 86% on RT, 7.7 IMDb, no bad act. The most fun one.
