Warning: Spoilers for Ballerina below!I'm not usually someone who's too bothered by plot holes. Sure, it's satisfying to open up a movie and discover it's as precisely engineered as a Swiss watch, but it's hardly a requirement of good entertainment. What really matters is the effect of what ends up on screen. If it works in the moment, who am I to complain if the math doesn't all add up afterward? But Ballerina, a movie I enjoyed, is really testing my ability to suspend disbelief.

Link copied to clipboard Sign in to your ScreenRant account Wes Anderson is one of our foremost film stylists working today. It's the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about his work, and it's the one thing everyone can agree on, even his critics. The look of his movies has evolved over the years, but anything of his is identifiably his. What gets debated is how much that counts for. I don't mean discussions of taste – there will always be those who enjoy being immersed in his...

Link copied to clipboard Sign in to your ScreenRant account Spoilers for Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning ahead!Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning is (if the marketing is to be believed) the end of Tom Cruise's run as IMF agent Ethan Hunt. Watching the movie, it often feels like it. This franchise has always kept a very loose continuity, introducing or revising backstory in the opening minutes of each film to suit the latest story, and that's kept these nimble action movies...

When I first saw the trailer for Fountain of Youth, I had conflicting responses. On the one hand, I was excited to see anything resembling a history-focused adventure film. I've seen this called a "heist" movie, but the proper term is treasure hunt – a globetrotting, action-inflected, star-driven treasure hunt.

THE PHOENICIAN SCHEME is now out wide, and I wrote about it (and all of Wes Anderson’s work) for @screenrant!
I’ve been wanting to write this one for a long time, and a second-watch eureka moment with THE PHOENICIAN SCHEME pushed me to finally do it! Wes Anderson is maybe my favorite filmmaker. I have a theory about why his movies look the way they do https://t.co/wOn2uhK5s2
