'Joker: Folie à Deux' Review: Joaquin Phoenix Is Daring, Pathetic in Todd Phillips' Impressively Odd Sequel
I must admit, I didn't know what to do with Todd Phillips's "Joker" at first. The polarizing supervillain drama, based on Batman's greatest nemesis, dazzled many viewers with its epic photography, its righteous indignation at broken social systems, and Joaquin Phoenix's eerie and fragile performance as Arthur Fleck. But beneath all that there was a frustrating lack of specificity about what it was actually angry at, and a distracting lack of...

Reviews of Todd Phillips' "Joker: Folie á Deux" have officially been filed, and critics say the "Joker" sequel was a waste of Lady Gaga's talent. Some even added that the flick simply wasn't needed or doesn't measure up to its predecessor. The film, which stars Gaga, Joaquin Phoenix, Zazie Beetz, Harry Lawtey and more, diversifies itself from the film as it features at least 15 reimagined versions of well-known songs. While some may not have...

MoviesAll 28 Pixar Movies Ranked From Worst to Best
Do you agree? Let's start with this premise: Pretty much, Pixar movies are good. It's nearly impossible to find a studio with as good of a track record: Pixar has put out 28 feature-length movies since 1995, and none of them are total duds — each one has something to recommend, be it a technical achievement, an emotional ride or an unforgettable character. But that doesn't mean they're all created equal. Some dazzle with state-of-the-art visuals, others get the tears flowing and many of them make you feel good with tales of unlikely friendships. Here's the definitive ranking of all 28 Pixar feature films, listed from worst to best. If you have any gaps in your Pixar viewing, there’s never been a better time to catch up —or rewatch to see if you can spot all those Pixar Easter eggs! For one thing, all of the movies except for the newest, Inside Out 2, are available on Disney+. (Compare that to the longstanding Disney practice of “the vault,” where they took movies out of home-video circulation to increase demand for the VHS tapes and DVD/Blu-rays when they did become available.) Many are also available to rent through other services, like Amazon's Prime Video, though the prices vary by movie. And, if you're finished watching all those Pixar films and still need something good to watch with the kids, check out the best kids' movies of 2024. (And yes, Inside Out 2 is on the list, as are a couple of other Pixars that returned to theaters this year.)
