Now You See Me (2013)
2013 Louis Leterrier heist thriller. Four illusionists pull off bank robberies during stage shows. Mark Ruffalo investigates.
Zodiac (2007)
David Fincher’s 2007 procedural on the SF Zodiac killer investigation. Three protagonists, no killer caught. Obsession as the actual subject.
The Avengers (2012) — Review
Joss Whedon’s ensemble breakthrough, Tom Hiddleston’s Loki, and the film that proved interconnected superhero cinema could function at scale. At 8.5/10.
Thor: Ragnarok (2017) — Review
Funny but stupid. Taika Waititi’s tonal pivot that broke the Thor character and signaled the MCU’s slide into decorative comedy. Thor: Ragnarok at 6/10.
