We watched Top Gun: Maverick and were blown away by one of the best sequels of all time. Tom Cruise delivers with a thrilling plot and amazing practical effects. But do movies like this help to glorify war? We ask this question as well as: What will be the future of drone warfare? Who is the movie’s unnamed “enemy”? What made this sequel so great, …

Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore is proof that the Harry Potter movies have jumped the shark.

If the intent of Pixar’s new release “Turning Red” was to do exactly that to its audience, then mission accomplished. We did turn red — with anger and frustration over a muddled movie. Don’t get us wrong, it was beautiful and had some touching themes, but the execution made the movie feel like they copied Encanto and made it worse. Specifically, th…
