Revisiting ‘The Empire Strikes Back’
This film came out nearly 45 years ago, and it is still utterly captivating. The dialogue, set pieces, and endearing characters make this film a blast to watch.
‘The White Lotus’ Makes a Splash in Season Three
The White Lotus is a reminder that we don’t live in a fairytale—good things don’t always happen to good people, and often, it’s the worst people who not only survive but succeed.
‘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.
Have You Seen ‘Deli Boys’?
Episodes of Deli Boys are short, a little over 20 minutes each, making this show an absolute breeze to get through. And not one minute of those short episodes is wasted.
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.
‘G20’ is a Movie that Exists
I will watch anything that Viola Davis is in, even if it is otherwise a mediocre film.
‘The Residence’ Hits the Spot
Each episode of The Residence keeps you guessing, revealing new pieces of information that help color the investigation that makes you want to keep watching.
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?
‘Slow Horses’ Delivers in Season Four
Slow Horses has been consistently effective in creating some of the most thrilling storylines, and it shows no signs of slowing down.
‘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.
