What do “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” and “Twisters” have in common? Both are big box office hits that are successful because they capitalize on decades of nostalgia and invite audiences back into the comforting embrace of the pop culture properties of yesteryear.     

“Joker: Folie à Deux” was painfully disappointing. Unfortunately for the sequel, the first movie was phenomenal, setting incredibly high expectations that “Joker: Folie à Deux” fails to meet. The title translates to “madness for two,” implying double the chaos – something this film seriously lacks.

In recent years, only a few science fiction films come to mind that are both as exhilarating and as much of a masterclass of creativity and perfection as “Dune: Part Two.” Returning to direct, write and produce, Denis Villeneuve once again amazes audiences with breathtaking visuals, gorgeous cinematography, unique sound design, wonderful production design and amazing worldbuilding.
