‘Sinners’ is Stunning
Sinners is the type of movie that I’ve been waiting for this year—technically impressive, thematically rich, and a really great time in the theater.
‘Matchstick Men’ is a Perfect Nic Cage Vehicle
I was captivated by Roy the entire time, and I think that’s in large part due to Nic Cage’s performance.
‘Kneecap’ is a Wild and Important Film
As the assault on indigenous languages grows stronger, films like Kneecap will become even more important.
I Finally Watched ‘In Bruges’
If you haven’t yet seen In Bruges, I recommend it. It will keep you laughing and will leave you with something to think about as the credits roll.
I Wanted to Like ‘Death of a Unicorn’
There are good ideas in Death of a Unicorn, but the story isn’t as impactful as it could’ve been.
‘Black Bag’ is a Blast!
Black Bag is a spy thriller, but it’s also so much more than that. It takes a formula that we know and love and does something interesting with it.
Was ‘Mickey 17’ Released at the Wrong Time?
Mickey 17 is incredibly ambitious and really swings for the fences, which is exciting to see. However, it simply has too many storylines for us to go very deep in any of them.
‘Point Break’ Still Rocks!
Point Break is incredibly beloved and now I understand why. Who doesn’t want to spend more time with Bodhi and his bros?
‘Sing Sing’ and the Importance of Human Dignity
Incarcerated people have dignity and worth, just like those of us on the outside, and Sing Sing is an important reminder of that fact.
‘Heretic’ is Surprising
The stand out of Heretic is Hugh Grant as Mr. Reed. This film doesn’t work without him.
‘The Dark Knight’ Still Thrills
Nolan and the team really outdid themselves with The Dark Knight, and with so many years of the MCU dominating superhero films, it was a joy to revisit this different take on heroes.
