Friends: The Complete Series
Friends still has massive appeal as evidenced by the viewership of the 2021 televised reunion, and the outpouring of love as news of Perry's death broke in 2023
Can't Hardly Wait
Can't Hardly Wait is the typical fare for 1990s teen movies and it is entertaining without going too far overboard.
The Wild Robot
Nyong'o has a lilt and a cadence to her voice that makes Roz sound as sweet and caring as she sounds metallic.
Apartment 7A
Director/co-writer Natalie Erika James makes Apartment 7A her own while paying homage to Roman Polanski's half-century-old film, Rosemary's Baby.
The Substance
The Substance's Moore and Qualley are excellent as essentially two halves of a whole and command the screen each second they are on it.
Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story
While many thought of him as a superhero, in the end, he was just a man with the power of hope and resilience on his side.
Richard Pryor: Live on the Sunset Strip
When you watch Pryor doing what he does best, you can't help but notice his impeccable timing and delivery.
Agatha All Along
'Agatha All Along' is off to a strong start, and it seems that Marvel Television (a subsidiary of the MCU to distinguish between the films and the series) has an Emmy contender here.
