The phrase “good for her” stems from an internet meme originally spoken in an Arrested Development scene, in which Lucille Bluth ironically shares the sentiment after hearing a news segment about a young mother releasing her car’s emergency brake, sending her and her children into a nearby lake. Since then, the term has been used to describe situations in media in which a woman may be legally in the wrong, but the audience roots for her nonetheless.

Walking into AMC Georgetown on a sunny Monday afternoon, I was completely unprepared to be transported into the jaw dropping, mind-bending universe of Dune: Part Two. This movie shook me to my core not just emotionally, but physically too. The soundscape was so thrillingly loud that at certain points I was nervous that the speakers would combust; the bass turned my seat into a massage chair.

The year is 2006, MGMT’s generation-defining hit “Time to Pretend” is blasting, and the Catton family is lounging by the lake in the yard of their sprawling, palatial estate of Saltburn.

You truly don’t know how much it pains me to have to write a negative Ant-Man review. Though the Ant-Man franchise is often belittled (pun wholeheartedly intended) within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), I have long been an advocate for the Ant-Man films.

“There’s no nudity in Magic Mike’s Last Dance. There’s not even a thong,” director Steven Soderbergh noted in an interview with Rolling Stone. Inspired by producer and star Channing Tatum’s pre-fame stripping career, the Magic Mike films cast a light on the distinct struggles of male entertainers in a post-Great Recession economy. Behind all the sweaty dollar bills, the first two installments were—at their core—an ode to dance and the resilience of their characters.
