Just a few words on Aquaman, Into the Spiderverse and Roma. Full reviews to follow.

Aquaman is a wild, non-pretentious, globe-trotting (globe-diving?) visual extravaganza of fun. Under the seas never looked this stunning. Character design is insane. Momoa’s Arthur Curry is charming as hell. At 2 1/2 hours, it’s worth every peso you sink in it.

It’s basically Star Wars: Episode IV of the Seas (or Thor, for the Marvel folks but more over the top and way better visuals.)

Into The Spiderverse is stunning a landmark in animation – an ecstatic fusion of vision, imagination and technique.

You know me – I’m not exactly a Marvel fan. I’ve constantly put Spider-Man down in my reviews. That changed when I saw Spiderverse last Saturday night.

It is art wrapped in the best mass-market package. Astounding use of multiple animation techniques coupled with honest to goodness good storytelling.

One of the best animations in decades, and one of the best superhero movies since the Tobey Maguire era. Believe the hype.💯(Images from Columbia Pictures)

Lastly, Alfonso Cuaron’s Roma from Netflix is sublime, essential, heartbreaking, breathtaking, unforgettable, glorious and pure Cinema.
