The French Dispatch, Wes Anderson’s love letter to journalism especially The New Yorker, is a mostly good film that’s well worth the wait. This film is a series of vignettes focusing on a travelogue, art, student protests, and a police kidnapping. The four stories come from the final issue of The French Dispatch, based in the fictional French city of Ennui-sur-Blasé. Outside of the city, nothing ties them together. Together, the vignettes do feature an…

Smallville: The Complete Series marks the 20th anniversary of its first episode by arriving on Blu-ray for the first time in its entirety. The series came about at an interesting time for the franchise but it would come to define Superman for an entire generation of fans. Obviously, nobody can replace Christopher Reeve as Superman but Tom Welling but his own mark on the Man of Steel. The latter films starring Reeve basically killed the…

After playing in theaters this summer and making an early arrival on digital, Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins is now available on home video. This film was seen as an opportunity to reboot the franchise. Unfortunately, it bombed at the box office, bringing in $37 million worldwide against an $88 million production budget. Throw in marketing and such and the film would have needed $160-175 million to break even. The film’s summer release also came…

In a continuing effort to monetize Solzy at the Movies and the pandemic leading to fewer freelance opportunities, I’ve started a Substack. As posted on Substack: I’m gonna keep this brief. I’m not really going to post much free content on Substack since that’s what Solzy at the Movies is for. However, I will be offering paid subscribers additional thoughts about movies, television, and Hollywood in general for the small monthly fee of $5 or…

Documentary filmmaker Jesse Moss brings audiences inside Pete Buttigieg’s presidential campaign in the new documentary, Mayor Pete. My first thought upon watching this film is that it’s amazing that Boys State was finishing up while Moss was hard at work on this film. But more than that, it shows the ins and outs of a presidential campaign. We get an inside look at the debate prep that comes with running for president. Getting elected to…

Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos has doubled down in response to the backlash claiming that it won’t “translate to real-world harm.” Here’s an excerpt from his staff memo: With The Closer, we understand that the concern is not about offensive-to-some content but titles which could increase real world harm (such as further marginalizing already marginalized groups, hate, violence etc.) Last year, we heard similar concerns about 365 Days and violence against women. While some employees disagree,…
