[COLUMN] On the Thundering Literalism of Dune: Prophecy | by Darren Mooney

Note: This article contains spoilers through the fifth episode of Dune: Prophecy.

If nothing else, Dune: Prophecy invites the audience to appreciate the restraint and the efficiency of Denis Villeneuve’s Dune and Dune: Part Two.

Frank Herbert’s Dune is a notoriously dense tome. Although obviously the...

Note: This piece contains spoilers to the most recently released episodes of The Day of the Jackal and The Agency, as well as broad conceptual spoilers for Black Doves and Mr. & Mrs. Smith.

The spy genre...

[COLUMN] That's So Craven: Disjointed Thoughts on Kraven the Hunter | by Darren Mooney

Note: This piece may contain spoilers for Kraven the Hunter. It may not. I am honestly not sure if Kraven has a story that can be spoiled in the conventional manner, although if you’ve seen a Sony Pictures live action superhero movie recently, you know what to expect. Still, proceed at your own risk.

Director J.C. Chandor’s films are about the seductive a...

[COLUMN] Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Is a Hell of a Way to Cap Off 2024 | by Marty Sliva

I can pinpoint the exact moment I fell in love with Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. It wasn’t the warm blanket of a tutorial mission that recreated the legendary cold open of Raiders of the Lost Ark, right down to the line “Adios, Satipo.” It wasn’t hearing Troy Baker’s excellent take on the most famous archaeologist in movie history, causing me to frequently forget t...

[COLUMN] James Gunn's Creature Commandos Takes the Measure of a Monster | by Darren Mooney

Note: This piece contains spoilers for the first two episodes of Creature Commandos, streaming on Max now. While arguably a “minor work” from one of the best comic book filmmakers working today, it’s pretty darn good. It’s handily the second-best superhero film or show of the year so far, Kraven permitting. If you want to watch those two episodes blind, feel free...
