Leave the World Behind
The biggest question that I had after watching this film: Did Rose recognize her mom when she watched, “The One After the Superbowl?”
Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret.
It's no wonder that Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret. is a beloved Judy Blume novel. This story has to be one of the most realistic portrayals of adolescence that I have seen.
Fair Play
Fair Play will make you think twice about working together with your partner. I really found myself enraptured in the unraveling of the relationship between Emily (Phoebe Dynevor) and Luke (Alden Ehrenreich) as the two navigate promotions and investments in a highly competitive hedge fund.
Fingernails
Fingernails is a romantic drama mixed with sci-fi vibes and physical pain that puts you in a state where you never know if you are witnessing a story set in the past, present or future.
Flora and Son
Flora and Son shows us how music does more than bring people together, it has the power to center us as individuals as well.
Killers of the Flower Moon
Martin Scorsese has become extremely patient in his old age. Much will be made about the length of Killers of the Flower Moon, but I think it was necessary to give credence to the weight of this story.
Beau Is Afraid
I thought I knew what I was getting myself into going into Beau Is Afraid. I guess I have to give it to Ari Aster, I was completely unprepared for how bizarre this film is.
Four Short Films by Wes Anderson Based on Stories by Roald Dahl
Somehow Wes Anderson has made something that is completely in his style but uses it in a new way to make Roald Dahl's short stories completely pop.
How to Blow Up a Pipeline
How to Blow Up a Pipeline is one of the most straightforward films that you'll experience. It's simple in its premise but fascinating in how it unravels its storyline.
Jesus Revolution
Jesus Revolution desperately tries to find a conflict to grasp onto, but as an audience we are flailed about until everything just sorta ends with a smile on its face.
Oppenheimer
Christopher Nolan once again astounds our senses with Oppenheimer. It seems as if he is one of the rare directors that can make quantum physics interesting on screen.
Asteroid City
As an avid Wes Anderson fan, I was not prepared for the emotional depths that he was willing to go to with Asteroid City.
Flamin’ Hot
I can be a cynical person, but sometimes you just need a feel-good movie in your life like Flamin’ Hot.
Citizen Kane
Citizen Kane is as relevant as it was in 1941 and is the quintessential example of how Americans view power and success.
The Godfather
The Godfather is a perfect example of where every aspect of filmmaking works in unison to create a terrific movie.
After Yang
After Yang will not be for everyone. It's one of the quietest, most contemplative films that I've seen in sometime.
One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest
Despite the turmoil and angst One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest creates, it has a positive spirit at its core.
Casablanca
You’ve seen Casablanca even if you haven’t seen Casablanca. I had forgotten how much of its structure, themes and lines have permeated throughout entertainment and pop culture.
