The American President
It could be easy to get wrapped up in the implausibility of The American President's story, but Aaron Sorkin's script paints a beautiful fairy tale with a behind-the-scenes look of politics as the driving force.
Meet the Parents
My nostalgia for this film probably makes me rate this cringe-inducing comedy higher than it needs to be, but so many of the bits and jokes are etched into my brain.
There’s Something About Mary
No matter how many times you've seen There’s Something About Mary, it makes you both shake your head and crack up at the same time.
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.
Some Kind of Wonderful
Some Kind of Wonderful would be a whole lot better if Eric Stoltz was interesting in the slightest.
Rookie of the Year
You have to take the plausibility of this plot and stick on a shelf, because the whole concept of this film is ridiculous. But as a thirteen year-old who saw this movie when it came out, this movie was dream come to life.
Primal Fear
This has to be one of the best, bad movies that I've seen in a long time. Despite having my guard up, I still was quite thrown off by the surprises that this film throws at you.
UNTOLD: Johnny Football
I remember the era of Johnny Football like it was yesterday. His historic rise and fall is fascinating, especially if you are a fan of college football.
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.
My Big Fat Greek Wedding
My Big Fat Greek Wedding possesses the charm and warm feelings that are invoked with such things as family, weddings and culture. Yet, watching it now, you can't help but wonder what all the fuss was about.
Happiness for Beginners
Netflix's original films tend to verge into Hallmark movie territory and Happiness for Beginners is a shining example of that. It has recognizable, good talent, with a solid premise, yet takes the easy road in simplifying the feelings it wants to invoke.
Palm Springs
Palm Springs is my favorite type of movie. It's a romantic comedy that blends laughs, science fiction and thoughtfulness perfectly.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
It's embarrassing how many times I've seen this film. Monty Python and the Holy Grail pretty much defines my teenage sensibilities and completely opened my world to a new type of humor.
Fever Pitch
I completely understand why Fever Pitch is reviled by most Boston Red Sox fans, but it doesn't take away from the fact that this movie points out some pretty funny aspects of sports fandom.
Napoleon Dynamite
This was one of my favorite movies from 2004. It is so weird and strange, and really spoke to the digital film major in me to know that you could create something so memorable with such a low budget.
