Only Nicolas Cage could be the actor to play himself in The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent. He is able to poke fun at himself while still showcasing his range and his ability to carry a film.

Never has a movie line spoken to my heart like this one.

It's easy to overlook All Quiet on the Western Front's brilliance due to the over saturation of war films. Although it doesn't particularly have anything new to say about the tragedy of war, it has taken all the elements of its predecessors and has used what worked best in those films to showcase the brutality of trench warfare.

Smile isn't necessarily my type of horror film, one which relies heavily on jump scares to keep the audience on edge. Some of these moments work better than others, with some scenes severely sitting on the edge of cheesiness. But that's not where my main issues lied with Smile.

Tense is the best way to describe Raging Bull. Although this isn’t a film that would get lumped into the suspense category, you are constantly on the edge of your seat throughout this boxing journey.

I think A Christmas Story Christmas marks the end of my need to consume nostalgic entertainment. I'm tired of watching new movies containing flashback clips of scenes from the original movie. If I wanted to see the original film, I would watch the original film!

Many will find Spirited a satisfactory watch this holiday season, but I can guarantee that it won't seep into their annual watching traditions after this year.

We honestly didn't go into Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile with huge expectations, I mean, it's a movie about a singing crocodile. But, for a film that puts a lot of effort into what it is trying to accomplish, so much of it falls flat.

Prior to this movie, I'm embarrassed to say that I had little knowledge about Gandhi. Like many people, I was familiar with the name and the image of the man, with his bald head, prominent glasses and homespun garb. I left the film with a much greater understanding of what was behind that approachable exterior.

Like his music, Weird: The All Yankovic Story is goofy, ridiculous and most importantly, fun. I had no idea what to expect from this "biopic" and I'm so happy that it subverted all my anticipatory expectations.

The Bodyguard is a bad movie disguised as a good movie because of its stars, but more importantly, the soundtrack.

I was completely taken aback the first time that I saw The Manchurian Candidate. It was a movie that completely surprised me and is completely innovative in the way that director John Frankenheimer tells this Cold War story. Although I knew what was ahead of me this time around, I was still struck by how dire and unrelenting it is.

I Love You, You Hate Me could have easily been better than it ends up becoming. It is very well made and the filmmakers have certainly done their research.

It’s amazing that people still embrace Beetlejuice’s very weird and very odd story. It proves that originality ultimately wins the day, despite some downfalls along the way.

I dare you not to smile while watching Singin’ in the Rain. The musical is a genre that Hollywood has always identified with. Singin’ in the Rain has been always been heralded as the genre’s king, and rightfully so. Besides the outstanding musical numbers, part of the reason this movie has to be so high on the AFI list is that Hollywood loves movies about making movies.

My review for Hocus Pocus 2 is a little skewed. As a 41-year-old man, did I enjoy Hocus Pocus 2? Eh, it was okay, but when I polled my daughters and their friends, this movie was off the charts for them.

The best thing about Bros is that it's not trying to hide what it is. Labeled as the first gay romantic comedy with a mostly LGBTQ cast to be given a wide release by a major studio, is for sure trailblazing in its efforts, but it never forgets the genre that it lives in.

What is our place in this world and are we willing to risk everything to be on the right side of history? Michael Clayton does a masterful job of posing deep philosophical questions in the disguise of a legal thriller.

I can't say Fletch is a movie that will I come back to, but I enjoyed myself in the moment. The character is completely memorable. The screenplay itself, not so much.

I really dug the simplicity and the creepiness of Misery. I've always been a sucker for tense films set in one location. It feels wrong to say that this hostage experience is fun, but I really delighted in William Goldman's clever screenplay.
