Movie Review: The Moment

In the summer of 2024, British pop artist Charli xcx unleashed a pop culture phenomenon into the world with her sixth studio album Brat. This unexpected success story pushed Charli from the comfortable place she had carved out for herself on the outskirts of the mainstream pop ecosystem into the harsh glow of the " main pop girl" spotlight. Amidst all of the Brat mania, her label (Atlantic Records) proposed she make a concert documentary during her first-ever global arena headlining run. She rejected their offer and instead elected to team up with music video director/frequent collaborator Aidan Zamiri and music journalist Bertie Brandes to make a mockumentary called The Moment that allowed her to spoof all of the bullshit that was attached to the success of Brat. This decision proved to be quite the savvy move as it allows Charli to give Brat the kind of flashy, unexpected send-off it deserves. 

Brat is one of those records that made such a significant culture impact that the label was naturally going to want to milk that cash cow for as long as they possibly could. This represented a huge departure from the way Charli has worked in the past as her status as this sort of queen of niche pop granted her an exemption from the label's most egregious efforts to meddle in the creative process. In the film, she highlights not only how aggressive the label is with forcing their shameless cash-grabbing ideas (an Amazon-backed concert film directed by a big name with a corporate-friendly milquetoast vision-who is played with an incredible amount of controlling, passive aggressive detail by a scene-stealing Alexander Skarsgard, a Brat-branded credit card, a "family-friendly" overhaul of her stage props, logos and outfits) onto an artist once their music starts to become more popular but how the pressure to sustain this newfound success has convinced Charli to toss aside the artistic integrity she previously had held so dear. 

As silly and snarky as the events of The Moment are, there's some real insight on the plethora of stupid ways the commerce side of the music industry gets in the way of the artistry buried underneath the deadpan humor that could only be delivered by someone who has spent their share of time in the belly of the beast. Charli has been around for long to enough to know how this whole circus works (it's easy to forget that she made her first big mainstream splash back in 2012 with her guest spot on Icona Pop's "I Love It') and it's great to see how eager she is to make fun of the industry machine she's stuck in as well as herself. Seeing an artist of her profile have such a strong grasp of the inner workings of the industry they're involved in and be able to clearly articulate how the practice of artificially extending an album cycle to appease fans/make more money is completely antithetical to the beauty of creating art is incredibly refreshing in an era where the shameless profit-chasing nature of capitalism is slowly laying waste to the very fabric of our world. 

By making a whole film where she effectively sells out to finally get away from Brat, Charli proves that she's remained true to her creative ideals despite the significant raise in profile she's experienced over the past 18 months. Walking away from Brat on her own terms just feels true to who she is an artist and it's especially satisfying that she was able to channel the vulnerability that is such a big part of the record into a comedy movie that is based on something that she was still living through while making.  While whatever proves to be the next step for Charli's career beyond a whole lot of acting roles (she currently has five movies awaiting release and is set to start shooting a new movie with Japanese genre auteur Takashi Miike imminently) and the Wuthering Heights soundtrack remains a mystery, I'm awfully excited to see how she will keep finding fresh ways to go against the grain.

1.Once Upon a Time in Hollywood... (A)

Top Dog: Once Upon a Time in Hollywood... (2019)

I'm pretty confident that Quentin Tarantino will never direct another movie thanks to his absurd insistence on only making 10 movies (he's technically already put out 10, but he moved the goalposts since he views Kill Bill as one movie). If that proves to be the case, at least he went out with a bang with Once Upon a Time in Hollywood... There's an easygoing hangout buddy movie vibe driving this sprawling 60's-set LA story here that is just infectious and the incredible collection of performances he gets from this loaded cast (Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, Robbie, Margaret Qualley and then 19-year-old Mikey Madison being the top standouts) is impressive even by Tarantino's lofty standards. I'm very curious to see what David Fincher does with the pseudo-sequel The Adventures of Cliff Booth, which appears to be releasing sometime this year after Netflix surprise dropped the first teaser during the Super Bowl.

Bottom Feeder: The Legend of Tarzan (2015)

As I was leaving a showing of The Moment last night (review coming tomorrow), I started to think about whether or not Alexander Skarsgard has ever turned in a bad performance. About 90 seconds later, I remembered The Legend of Tarzan and this exercise came to a swift end. In fairness to Skarsgard, it wasn't really his fault that he stunk as Tarzan. The material was so boring and ridiculous that neither he nor his co-stars (Robbie, Christoph Waltz, Samuel L. Jackson, Djimon Honsou, Jim Broadbent) really stood a chance. Anyways, this is easily among the worst studio movies of the 2010's in my eyes and I'd never even consider watching it again unless I was dealing with a weapons-grade case of insomnia.  

Most Underrated: Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) (2020)

While I'm not quite as high on Birds of Prey now as I was when it came out six years ago this month, I still think it's a great movie that is probably the single most underrated superhero movie of this decade. It does a terrific job of creating a vibe that mimics the colorful, chaotic personality of Harley Quinn, the fight choreography is super creative, and Robbie's delightfully hyperactive, freewheeling performance is her most inspired take on Quinn thus far.

Most Overrated: About Time (2013)

One of the movie takes I've gotten the most shit for over the years is calling About Time a borderline predatory love story given how it uses its time travel conceit to set up its main romance. I still wholeheartedly stand by this take. Beyond the main character being a pathetic, manipulative shitbag, Richard Curtis' signature schmaltzy romantic dramedy writing is on full display here and it's just as insufferable as it was in Love Actually. The only reason that I don't think About Time is quite as shit as Love Actually is Rachel McAdams-who remains charming as hell despite the colossal failures of everything around her radiant presence. 

Movie Review: The Strangers: Chapter 3

Upon reaching its conclusion this past weekend, I can now declare that the Renny Harlin-helmed trilogy reboot reminds me of this incredible scene from Step Brothers. For the first two films, I was onboard with the vision. Chapter 1 is a spirited enough remake of the 2008 original while Chapter 2 is a fun extended chase sequence that does a pretty decent job of maintaining suspense by throwing pretty much non-step peril at its wounded heroine Maya (Madelaine Petsch-who proves her worth as a scream queen with her strong commitment to heavy breathing, crying and screaming) as she tries to escape the trio of serial killers that are hellbent on finishing what they started in the first film. When Harlin's endgame for this story finally comes into focus in Chapter 3, the whole idea of a trilogy centered around expanding the universe of The Strangers was suddenly rendered completely pointless.

If I didn't know that principal photography for the whole trilogy was done simultaneously, I would've assumed that Chapter 3 was improvised under extreme duress. Nobody involved with this production seems to have any fuckin idea how they're going to land the plane they've been flying around in for over 3 hours at this point, which leads to a true masterclass in confused filmmaking.

 Additional lore dumps for the serial killers formerly known as "The Strangers" are clumsily deployed at various points of the movie in order to provide a window into why they do what they do and how their relationships with one another formed. Petsch gets hung out to dry as the story concocts, abandons and then eventually returns to a revenge arc that is so thinly sketched that the final confrontation carries the emotional catharsis of a yawn. The ending is so abrupt and absurd that I'm still in disbelief that this was the note they decided to end an entire series of movies on. If this was their best attempt at wrapping up this story, I don't even want to think about what their worst would look like.

While Harlin is well past the days where he was delivering solid popcorn movies (Cliffhanger, The Long Kiss Goodnight, Die Hard 2) every couple of years, the first two films were directed competently enough where I started to question why he had been relegated to the minor leagues of Hollywood since the mid-2000's. The Strangers: Chapter 3 (along with his horrendous 2024 Aaron Eckhart-led action movie The Bricklayer) no longer has me wondering how that happened and it's pretty safe to say that he won't be getting called up to the big leagues again anytime soon after churning out a trilogy of films that ultimately proved to have an approval rating that's in line with gas station sushi.

Super Bowl LX Prediction

Conference Championship Record: 2-0

Overall Playoff Record: 9-3

Seattle Seahawks over New England Patriots:

The conclusion of the wackiest NFL season in recent memory is finally upon us. Anybody that expected either of these teams to make the Super Bowl as recently as early December would've likely been written off as a homer or delusional moron, so kudos to those who believed in these teams before the rest of the football world did. This is a strange matchup for a number of reasons, particularly when you consider their paths to get here as The Seahawks put together a pair of excellent games against two of their divisional rivals while the Patriots strong defensive play made up for the erratic play and ugly turnovers that bogged down their offense during their three game run to the AFC crown.

As much as I can buy into the narrative that the Patriots are a team of destiny after winning 16 of their last 17 games, I still can't pick them to win this game. No matter how angry Patriots fans get about this topic of conversation, you just can't overlook the tidal wave of good fortune that has come their way by playing three broken offenses in a row on their way to making it here. While Sam Darnold absolutely has it in him to shit his pants and replicate the hideous turnovers that C.J. Stroud and Jarrett Stidham committed that played a huge role in them securing wins in each of the past two weeks, the 'Hawks offense could also smack the Patriots in the mouth if they take care of the football, which wasn't even a realistic consideration during any of the other games during this run. The biggest weakness of the Pats defense by far is defending vertical passing attacks and Darnold is coming off a game against the Rams where he was absolutely lethal downfield. The versatility of Jaxson Smith-Njigba, speed of Rasheed Shaheed and size of A.J. Barner presents the type of challenge the Patriots haven't faced in these playoffs thus far, and I wouldn't exactly be stunned if Christian Gonzalez, Carlton Davis, Marcus Jones and their linebackers/safeties ended up getting cooked just like the Rams did two weeks ago. If the Hawks somehow able to also get Kenneth Walker III and their rushing attack going against the Patriots stout run D, things could get real ugly real fast. 

On the other side of the ball, the Patriots offense has largely struggled during these playoffs due to how strong the defenses they've played have been and they're once again going to have their hands full with the Seahawks defense. The 'Hawks have a physical pass rush that could really wear down their weak interior line and undersized left tackle Will Campbell, their third ranked rushing defense has what it takes to slow down the Pats typically effective power/speed RB combo of Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson and most importantly, their metrics in the most important areas of the game are all at or near the top of the league (1st in scoring defense, 1st in 3rd down defense, 5th in 3rd down defense, 6th in takeaways). Their biggest vulnerabilities are Riq Woolen at the second outside corner spot (Drake Maye is going to likely need a big game from Kayshon Boutte or Mack Hollins to get their air attack going given that Devon Witherspoon is likely to follow Stefon Diggs wherever he lines up) and in defending QB scrambles-which is an area where Drake Maye particularly excels. Are those weaknesses enough for the Patriots to exploit and put together their first strong offensive showing of these playoffs? Perhaps, but I sure as hell wouldn't bet on it. 

Look, I'm fully prepared for the possibility the Pats win this game. The Seahawks aren't an infallible juggernaut by any stretch, Mike Macdonald is a greener coach than Mike Vrabel and as I said earlier, Darnold is capable of being a turnover machine and an operation as sound as the Patriots would be able to take advantage of those mistakes in the same way they did in their wins over the Chargers, Texans and Broncos. I just happen to think the Seahawks are a more talented team and the magic that the Patriots have rode to this game is finally going to run out. 

Kevin James Ranked

Welcome to "Ranked", a weekly series where I rank a franchise or filmography from worst to best and hand out assorted related superlatives. This week, I'm profiling the work of Kevin James-whose latest project "Solo Mio" releases in theaters today.

3.Here Comes the Boom (B)

2.50 First Dates (B)

1.Becky (B)

Top Dog: Becky (2020)

One of the biggest gems that emerged from the peak of the COVID lockdown where most of the small number of movies being released were indie genre movies, Becky is a very fun B-home invasion thriller that really relishes in its absurd nastiness. Lulu Wilson makes for a great teenage antihero, James does well going against type as a Nazi gang leader who just broke out of jail and the bursts of splattery gore hit really hard.

Bottom Feeder: Zookeeper (2011)

Generally speaking, I find James to be an affable screen presence who can lift up even the shakiest material he's handed. Zookeeper is one of the only times in his career where I felt that wasn't the case. James' answer to Doctor Dolittle is the epitome of 2000/2010's kids movie trash where the jokes are so consistently lame that the entire affair becomes obnoxious to the point where the end credits starting to roll feel like the first rays of sun hitting your face after spending a couple of hours locked up in a holding cell.

Most Underrated: Here Comes the Boom (2012)

I have a vivid memory of seeing Here Comes the Boom with a friend on opening weekend because the showing of Argo we had intended to go to was sold out and both of us being shocked by how much we enjoyed it. James shook off the brutal 1-2 punch of The Dilemma and Zookeeper to successfully apply his likeable everyman persona to a genuinely rousing, well-crafted underdog sports dramedy about a biology teacher (James) who takes on a side gig as an MMA fighter with the hopes of making enough money to save his school's music program. 

Most Overrated: Hitch (2005)

Perhaps I have an inflated belief of how well-liked Hitch is due to me being a teenager when it was released and having to spend so much time around people gushing about it. By the time I finally saw it in my late 20's, I was a little perplexed as to how it became so popular. While it's a completely inoffensive romcom anchored by a magnetic performance from Will Smith, I just didn't find to be overly funny or charming and the chemistry between Smith and Eva Mendes isn't really there. 

2025 NFL Awards+All-Pro Teams and Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2026 Predictions

MVP: Matthew Stafford (Rams)

During the summer, there were concerns that the 37-year-old Stafford would be hindered by a lingering back injury that caused his reps to be capped during training camp. He made everybody that doubted his ability to stay healthy and play at a high level look like idiots as he ended up having the best season of his 17-year career in 2025. He led the league in passing YDS (4,707) and TD's (46) while finishing second in QBR (109.2) behind likely MVP runner-up Drake Maye as the Rams had their best season since winning the Super Bowl in 2021. Best of all for Stafford, this season will further solidify his case for making the Hall of Fame-which has been and will remain a spirited debate topic as his career winds down or possibly even ends following this magical season.

Honorable Mentions: Drake Maye (Patriots), Trevor Lawrence (Jaguars), Justin Herbert (Chargers)

Offensive Player of the Year: Jaxson Smith-Njigba (Seahawks)

There's one man above all that Sam Darnold and Klint Kubiak can thank for their profiles being raised around the league with the Seahawks stellar offensive play in 2025 and his name is Jaxson Smith-Njigba. Every team that played the Seahawks this season knew they were going to feed JSN (Cooper Kupp and A.J. Barner were the next leading receivers on the team and they finished the season with lines of 47/593/2 and 52/519/6 respectively) and threw everything they had into stopping them. Despite these valiant efforts, he still killed them nearly every week-hauling in a whopping 119 receptions for a league-high 1,793 YDS and 10 TD's. Zooming in further on these numbers only make them more impressive as he posted 100+ YDS in 9 games and only had 1 game all season where had below 70 YDS (Week 13 against the Vikings-where he nabbed just 2 receptions for 23 YDS). Any conversation surrounding the best WR's in the league this offseason that doesn't include JSN don't deserve to be taken seriously. 

Honorable Mentions: Bijan Robinson (Falcons), Puka Nacua (Rams), Trey McBride (Cardinals)

Defensive Player of the Year: Myles Garrett (Browns)

When the league shifted to a 17-game schedule in 2021, it was inevitable that Michael Strahan's single season sack record of 22.5 that was set back in 2001 was going to fall. In the final week of the 2025 season, it finally did and to the surprise of very few, Myles Garrett was the man that did it. Playing on yet another miserably bad Browns team buried just how locked in Garrett was this season as he shattered his new career highs across the board by logging 23 sacks, 33 TFL's and 39 QB hits all while facing increased attention from opponents as the only real threat on a Browns front that otherwise struggled to rush the passer (the next three players on their list of team sack leaders combined for just 16 total). Someday we'll truly appreciate just how great Garrett was, but for now, we'll just keep mourning the fact that he's stuck in football purgatory with seemingly no way out.   

Honorable Mentions: Cameron Heyward (Steelers), Will Anderson Jr. (Texans), Jack Campbell (Lions)

Offensive Rookie of the Year: Tetairoa McMillan (Panthers)

McMillan ended up doing enough in the latter stages of the season to fend off the likes of Colston Loveland, Emeka Egbuka and Tyler Shough for this honor. After battling some inconsistency out of the gate, the 1st round pick out of Arizona emerged as the reliable WR1 the Panthers desperately needed around mid-October and ended up becoming the only rookie to clear 1,000 YDS receiving this season in dramatic fashion when he reeled in a 40-YD reception from Bryce Young in the 4th quarter of their Week 18 contest with the Bucs. As long as his rapport with Young continues to improve, McMillan should be even better in 2026. 

Honorable Mentions: Colston Loveland (Bears), Tyler Shough (Saints), Emeka Egbuka (Buccaneers)

Defensive Rookie of the Year: Carson Schwesinger (Browns)

Beyond Myles Garrett, the biggest bright spot of the Browns flawed but frisky defense may've been their rookie inside linebacker out of UCLA. Schwesinger quickly established himself as a sideline-to-sideline impact player-registering 156 combined tackles, 2.5 sacks, 9 QB hits and 3 passes defensed in 16 games. With Jim Schwartz likely not returning as DC after being passed over for their head coaching gig, it'll be interesting to see if Schwesinger can adapt to a different system that is potentially less aggressive than the one he thrived in this year.

Honorable Mentions: Xavier Watts (Falcons), Jihaad Campbell (Eagles), Malaki Starks (Ravens)

Coach of the Year: Kyle Shanahan (49ers)

No disrespect to the remarkable turnaround efforts that Liam Coen, Ben Johnson and Mike Vrabel led this season, but only one coach in the league made the playoffs and had a chance at getting the top seed in the hypercompetitive NFC after half of their roster died during the season. Shanahan's ability to deal with a cartoonishly high volume of injuries of the short-term, long-term and season-ending variety and field a team that was not only competitive but thrived for the bulk of the season is the kind of brilliant coaching that this award is designed to honor. 

Honorable Mentions: Liam Coen (Jaguars), Ben Johnson (Bears), Mike Vrabel (Patriots)

Comeback Player of the Year: Aidan Hutchinson (Lions)

The real award tomorrow night is probably going to go to Dak Prescott and that's completely fair. He quietly put together one of the best seasons of his career this season for a decent Cowboys team who was let down by their league-worst defense and it's especially impressive that he pulled this off after having a poor, injury-shortened season in 2024. I just happened to be more impressed with the play of Hutchinson-who picked up right where he left off when he went down with a broken leg 5 games into what was shaping up to be a dominant 2024 campaign by earning his first career All-Pro selection after posting 14.5 sacks, 14 TFL's, 35 QB hits, 4 forced fumbles, a fumble recovery and an INT.
