So far, this year brings bad ass reporters and mean and stupid future Spider-women.
You all know the drill. It’s June, which means I can share with you the best and worst movies of the year so far. And so far, I’ve admired “Dune: Part 2” and “Inside Out 2” for being first-rate sequels, I hated all the stupid and selfish jerks of “Madame Web,” I think “Ezra” is an underrated movie, and I’m glad I didn’t think “Rebel Moon: Part Two-The Scargiver” was as bad as the first, even though I disliked it. Let’s see what I loved and hated so far.
