I enjoyed the hell out of “Together,” a wild, repugnant (again, compliment) ride that left me squeamish and uncomfortable in the best of ways. It also sports one of the best needle drops of the entire year, and I can’t even begin to describe how hard I laughed.

“The Fantastic Four: First Steps” is a tale of two films; one that attempts to take its first steps into new directions and one that backtracks into the same old tired Marvel machine.
A few things I want to say about Marvel Studios’ first foray into the first family of comics- “The Fantastic…
“Oh Hi!” is a sort of millennial “Misery” told through a series of unfortunate situationships. There’s an earnestness from Brooks’ direction and screenplay that allows even the most outlandish events to remain hopelessly charming and romantic.

But it’s also consistently entertaining, delivering the kind of hopeful hero we’ve long been waiting to see on the big screen. It’s bursting with hope and humanity, and I can’t think of anything we need more of in the world right now than that.
