Spoilers follow. Something odd happened to me last week as I watched "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness." As I cheered, other audience members groaned.

At their core, found footage movies attempt to adopt a verisimilitude of their own making, whether it's actually trying to make people believe it's real or not.

After a stellar freshman season and two subsequent seasons of tedious, convoluted storytelling, I've come to accept I'm only really watching "Westworld" for the vibes at this point.

I loved old monster movies when I was a little kid. I couldn't get enough of bug-eyed mutants, lovestruck fish-men, and giant ants in the drains of Los Angeles.

I know I'll sound like an old fogey for saying this, but they don't make major motion pictures like "Forrest Gump" anymore.
