Bent Wookiee

- Season 3

(2021)

One of the most underrated animated Disney films ever.

An intense, hard-hitting parable featuring two extraordinary performances.

Though it tries to stuff way too much into its runtime, Alita: BA contains cool fight scenes and genuine heart.

A star-making turn by Pam Grier anchors this satisfying revenge film about a woman who weaponizes her sexuality in order to punish those who hurt the ones she loves.

A groundbreaking film for Pixar Studios, Brad Bird's superhero epic is witty, funny, and action-packed.

Haunting and eerie, Herk Harvey's sole directorial feature is a wonder of invention and mood.

Pulgasari has a go-for-broke goofiness that forgives some of its worst effects. I dare say it could even be seated at the very far end of the Kaiju dinner table.

A well-meaning but slightly heavy-handed religious drama with appropriately disturbing images and a rare central performance from the late Raul Julia.

Equal parts hilariously profane and brutally violent, Savage Streets is essential viewing for any lover of deliciously trashy B-movies.

A steampunk action-adventure-fantasy with enough swashbuckling to fill twenty zeppelins.
