Ultimately, Ad Astra is about personal responsibility, both as an individual, and as a member of the broader human community.

Aladdin
Prairie Dog Magazine

Aladdin can't fully avoid the specter of Robin Williams hovering over the film, but Will Smith makes the right choices, chief among them trading manic for laid-back.

At Eternity's Gate
Prairie Dog Magazine
Jorge Ignacio Castillo
The film takes a rare approach: It focuses on Vincent's drive rather than his mental health. The signposts to tragedy are all there, but his miseries never hog the spotlight.

Avengers: Endgame
Prairie Dog Magazine
Jorge Ignacio Castillo
The main takeaway of Avengers: Endgame is the presumption that the half that remained may listen to their better angels. Forget time travel, the real fairy-tale lays here.

While noticeable out of their element, indie stalwarts Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck recognize the easy rapport between Brie Larson and Samuel L. Jackson is their best asset.

Fighting with My Family
Prairie Dog Magazine
Jorge Ignacio Castillo
Fighting with My Family is a sweet and uplifting comic biopic built on relatable pathos. Doesn't hurt to have the fantastic Florence Pugh at the film's centre.

Good Boys
Prairie Dog Magazine
Jorge Ignacio Castillo
There's no science to Good Boys: kids interacting with adult things they don't understand is always good for a laugh (and get a religious group or two riled-up).
