The Best-Reviewed Resident Evil Movie Ever Made Has None of the Characters You Actually Wanted
Zach Cregger threw out Leon, Jill, Chris and Claire, cast a medical courier nobody has heard of, and landed a 96% Tomatometer — the highest score any video game movie has ever held.

Stop Defending Euphoria. Season 3 Isn't Ambitious — It's Exhausted.
Euphoria Season 3 is the lowest-rated season in the show's history. 48% audience. 54% Popcornmeter. Episode 2 — 'America My Dream' — spent 55 minutes proving everyone right. Maybe the style really is the substance. And maybe that's finally the problem.
