James Cameron does it again. "Avatar: Fire and Ash" is bigger, longer, more unwieldy—and the most enthralling Hollywood blockbuster in years. Stirring spectacle. Wrenching melodrama. Overwhelming beauty. No one’s making old-school religious epics like this www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

On the New York-ness of Wes Anderson's 'The Royal Tenenbaums,' released on this day in 2001:
‘The Royal Tenenbaums’ at 20: When Wes Anderson Imagined New York (Published 2021)
