There is so much to love aboutThe Office. For some, the best part is Dunder Mifflin Scranton’s regional manager Michael Scott (Steve Carell). For others, it might be how much Dwight Schrute (Rainn Wilson), the assistant (to the) regional manager sucks up to him. All the supporting characters, fromdimwitted but sweet Kevin(Brian Baumgatner), to angry cat lady Angela (Angela Kinsey) have their hilarious charms, too. The heart ofThe Office, however, is the relationship between Jim Halpert (John Krasinksi) and Pam Beesley (Jenna Fischer)....

The Bond franchisehas charmed audiences for decades and, with speculation rife over who the next 007 will be, looks like it will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. SinceDr. No, there have been twenty-five 007 films, spanning a range of tones and styles, and with different actors placing their distinctive spin on the character. This approach has resulted in some classics as well as not a few duds. With this in mind, this list looks at some of the most over-hated or neglected entries in the storied franchise....

No one ever sets out to make a bad movie, especially if it is set to continue a first film that was generally well received by critics and audiences alike. While it is easy to view all sequels as entirely cynical affairs intended only to make money, the truth is thatthere are many excellent follow upsthat are worthy of the added investment; films such asThe Godfather: Part II, The Empire Strikes Back, Before Sunset, Aliens,andTerminator 2: Judgment Dayare generally considered to be all-time classics....

While movies are first and foremost an art form,they also are a business endeavor for the cast and crew involved in creating them. Movies are exceedingly costly to make, and the financial success of a film is never a guarantee. The movie industry is a massive one, providing thousands of jobs and outputting a near-endless stream of entertainment for consumers worldwide. Box-office success (especially when it comes to the coveted billion-dollar landmark) isn’t always an indicator of quality, but it does demonstrate massive interest in a property or positive word-of-mouth....

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is one of the most ambiguous, and for the most part, successful franchise projects in the history of cinema. While the superhero genre had struggled to maintain a consistent level of quality for many years,Kevin Feigewas able to headline Marvel Studios’ creative team, leading to an exciting series of crossover events. While hiring good filmmakers was a major reason why the studio was able to release so many good superhero films, the MCU had a level of logical consistency that signified that the creators truly cared about the output....

Trey Edward Shults’s rise and subsequent career as a filmmaker happened pretty much entirely within the 2010s, as his first three movies were released between 2015 and 2019, with his fourth not coming until a little later. If you look at just the 2010s (and, spoiler alert, that’s the decade that houses his three best three movies), Shults’s body of work to date was quite neatly divided by the three short films he made in the first half of the decade, and the three feature films he made during the second half of the decade, released between 2015 and 2019....

If you’re loving the look of the costumes on full display inBlack Panther, you have one person to thank:Ruth E. Carter. The two-time Oscar-nominated costume designer celebrates 30 years in that role this year with one of the most anticipated movies ever to hit the big screen. A tall task, for sure, but Carter pulled all of her many resources together to find the look ofBlack Panther, Wakanda, and the characters who live within the nation … and those who invade from without....

Let’s get the most important thing out of the way first: I absolutelylovedWes Anderson’sIsle of Dogs. As a huge fan of his first stop-motion movie,Fantastic Mr. Fox, I wasn’t sure he could top such a special film — but I’m pleased to report he did. And while I loved everything aboutIsle of Dogs, I have to give a special shout out to the production design and level of detail in every shot....
