Movie Review
Supergirl (1984)
Before the revisionist history starts, the 1984 Supergirl starring Helen Slater isn't a misunderstood gem; it's a hollow film with no urgency and a lead with no agency.

Countdown to Doomsday: Guardians of the Galaxy
A decade on, the film that taught Marvel to trust its filmmakers is still the high-water mark of the Infinity Saga.
