A loving tribute to a pair of showbiz titans.

Dual (2022)
Gloriously off-kilter with a terrific performance by star Karen Gillan.
Posted Jan 24, 2022

After Yang (2022)
An elegant sci-fi tale featuring a terrific performance from Colin Farrell.
Posted Jan 23, 2022

Sebastian Stan has never been better than he is here, with his mega-watt charisma turned up to eleven.
Posted Jan 22, 2022

A solid directorial debut from Jesse Eisenberg that explores a complicated mother-son dynamic.

Ray Donovan: The Movie (2022)

The 355 (2022)
An ace ensemble is let down by subpar action and a rehashed story.
Posted Jan 7, 2022

The Tender Bar (2021)
A terrific, tender coming-of-age tale we're almost too cynical for nowadays.
Posted Dec 22, 2021

8/10
The Matrix Resurrections (2021)
The Matrix Resurrections is a lively and thrilling sequel. It returns to the roots of the original with humor and action.

Sing 2 (2021)
Sing 2 is more of the same. Good news for some, but it does lack the originality found in the first.

Mother/Android (2021)
This is a wonderfully transcendent science fiction tale that is full of intense thrills and drama. I left this movie impacted and cannot wait to watch it again.

The King's Man (2021)
An enjoyably action-packed prequel
Posted Dec 15, 2021

Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)
Even the most jaded superhero fan will be won over by this love letter to fans everywhere.
Posted Dec 14, 2021

Don't Look Up (2021)
Overly smug would-be satire that, worst of all, isn't funny.
Posted Dec 8, 2021

Clerk (2021)

9/10
Nightmare Alley (2021)
Nightmare Alley is a pulpy blend of atmosphere and thrills. The rich characters and the solid performances from the entire cast help bring this seedy world to life.
Posted Dec 2, 2021
22
House of Gucci (2021)
Lady Gaga gives an appropriately large performance in what's essentially a high fashion gangster film. Gloriously campy at times.

Licorice Pizza (2021)

C'mon C'mon (2021)
Another gem from Mike Mills, with a nice change of pace role for Phoenix.
Posted Nov 16, 2021
25
Red Notice (2021)
Coasts entirely on the charm of its stars. A wafer thin clone of much better movies.
Posted Nov 4, 2021
26
The French Dispatch (2021)
Second tier Anderson is still better than first tier for most other directors.
Posted Oct 26, 2021
27
Army of Thieves (2021)
A fun caper flick. Even if you didn't like Army of the Dead, you might like this.
Posted Oct 26, 2021

6/10
Eternals (2021)
Eternals is a decent flick, but it rarely manages to rise above what we've already seen from the MCU.
Posted Oct 24, 2021

Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021)
A lovely tribute to the first film which should please old-school fans and newcomers alike.
Posted Oct 9, 2021

South of Heaven (2021)
A terrific under-the-radar gem with excellent performances all around. Sudeikis is impressive in an edgier part.
Posted Oct 8, 2021

8/10
Halloween Kills (2021)
Halloween Kills is an impressive sequel. It delights in a huge body count, brutal murders, and a solid middle film in the new trilogy. Michael Myers is scary here.
Posted Oct 7, 2021

Titane (2021)
Completely insane but also completely original.
Posted Oct 1, 2021
33
Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021)
If you liked the first one, you'll like this one too. It's not a huge leap in quality but it's still fun, especially when focusing on the Eddie/Venom relationship.
Posted Sep 30, 2021
34
No Time To Die (2021)
An epic swan song for Daniel Craig as 007. Reintroduces some humor and fun into the series after too long of an absence.
Posted Sep 28, 2021
35
The Many Saints of Newark (2021)
Leaves you wanting more, but in a good way. Gandolfini and Nivola are excellent.
Posted Sep 21, 2021
36
The Forgiven (2021)
A searingly brutal critique of modern colonialism.
Posted Sep 20, 2021
37
The Survivor (2021)
A harrowing holocaust drama with a great performance by Ben Foster.
Posted Sep 16, 2021
38
Cry Macho (2021)
Eastwood movies are not for the cynical. You either go with them, or you don't.
Posted Sep 15, 2021
39
Belfast (2021)
A surefire crowd-pleaser from Branagh, and one of his best films.
Posted Sep 14, 2021
40
The Eyes of Tammy Faye (2021)
A fun look at one of the biggest religious scandals of the 80s. Chastain is having fun.
Posted Sep 14, 2021
41
Last Night in Soho (2021)
Virtuoso work by Edgar Wright. Masterfully assembled and executed.
Posted Sep 13, 2021

Dune (2021)
An epic - the likes of which we haven't seen in a long, long time.
Posted Sep 12, 2021

The Guilty (2021)
Jake Gyllenhaal delivers a powerhouse performance.

Queenpins (2021)
... this good-natured comedy is a nice escape from all the real-world insanity that we see daily.

Malignant (2021)
James Wan has done it again. Malignant is an outlandishly entertaining mix of Giallo, body horror, and brutal slayings.
Posted Sep 10, 2021

Dear Evan Hansen (2021)
Tone-deaf - which is a surprise coming from the director of The Perks of Being a Wallflower.
Posted Sep 10, 2021

Kate (2021)
Winstead is game, but this is terribly familiar stuff.
Posted Sep 9, 2021

The Card Counter (2021)
A fascinating companion piece to Schrader's own Light Sleeper
Posted Sep 9, 2021
49
Elysium (2013)
From my perspective, not only is Elysium a worthy companion work to District 9, but it operates as a consistently more balanced and accomplished production on its own.
