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.
She’s Gotta Have It
As soon as She's Gotta Have It was over, I was completely ashamed as a movie fan that I had never seen this brilliant feature film debut from Spike Lee.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3
I'm not your go-to-guy for the MCU and certainly not for Guardians of the Galaxy. I didn't even see Vol. 2, but that didn't take away from my surprised enjoyment for this film.
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.
Cocaine Bear
It's a shame that Cocaine Bear is ultimately a downer because I think it had the potential to be an entertaining movie.
The Holiday
I'm not much of a reader, but I equate The Holiday to escaping into a book, wrapped up in a blanket next to a warm fire.
The Super Mario Bros. Movie
The Super Mario Bros. Movie is visually stunning, but not complex. It gives little life to the characters that we have grown up seeing.
The Cutting Edge
The Cutting Edge is a movie that is perfectly made for a laid back weekend morning. Is it cheesy? Yes. Does it seem dated? Yes. Do you stop and watch it when you are flipping the channels? Most definitely yes.
The Big Lebowski
Only the Coen brothers could create a movie that has deep philosophical questions about nihilism and capitalism wrapped up into a crime caper with a stoned hippie as the protagonist.
Murder Mystery 2
I am happy to say that Murder Mystery 2 outshines the first installment, though, not by much.
To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before
To All the Boys I've Loved Before succeeds in its simplicity. Lara Jean's (Lana Condor) unsent love letters are the MacGuffin for an absurd, yet plausible, teen romance with an extremely likable cast.
10 Things I Hate About You
It's hard not to watch 10 Things I Hate About You with a smile on your face. It has an even balance of a rom-com and a coming of age tale, and when done correctly, is a formula that can easily appeal to a mass audience.
Triangle of Sadness
Did Bernie Sanders write the Triangle of Sadness screenplay? This film is a dark satire about the rich that is a bit too clever for its own good.
Your Place or Mine
In Your Place or Mine, the romantic chemistry is supposed to lie in a twenty-year "friendship" in where we get no glimpse.
