Solo: A Star Wars Story; Continues the process of taking the classic beloved elements of films past and distilling them into an updated action adventure. The car chase, the train robbery, the poker showdown, all placed within the Star Wars universe. A fun, well cast film; B+
Fahrenheit 451; A let down that intrigues enough on the performances and direction to entertain but ultimately unsatisfying in its exploration of the novel’s themes. Hard to adapt a classic from a different era while offering a contemporary take. Many decisions fall flat; C
Dunkirk; Masterful recreation lacks emotional connection. Enemy absent on screen is an interesting choice, as well as the overdominant score. Intense in the moment with little lasting resonance afterwards. B+
