As I discussed yesterday, we’re finally in my favorite time of the year, when all of the critical darling films that have been playing festivals finally get released to the masses. And, of all the films of 2019 I think one of my most anticipated has been […]
After a fairly disappointing summer of attempted blockbusters, 2019 has certainly been redeemed in its back half. As usual, the fall and early winter become absolutely inundated with weird and wonderful cinema, all attempting to snag as many awards as possible. These are the movies that have […]
As someone who consumes a shocking amount of movies, it’s a very special feeling to come across a creator who just really seems to be operating at a similar wavelength to you. Someone who can try a variety of different things, and they all more or less […]
Way back in the innocent year of 2009, I saw a movie that I absolutely loved. Now, I’ve never been a big fan of the whole zombie genre, just never quite connecting with any major work featuring the brain-dead monsters, outside of maybe the first few volumes […]

A few weeks ago I found myself lamenting what a generally lackluster year we’ve had going to the movies. There have been a few outliers, but by and large 2019 hasn’t felt like a particularly strong year for movies. But, as we start to enter the fall, […]
Over the last few years an unexpected trend has suddenly seemed to hit Hollywood. A group of decent crime films that are mainly notable for the fact that they primarily star women. For so long films about crime and criminals have been more or less dominated by […]
Two years ago I found myself completely blown away by a film I really anticipated to dislike quite a bit. And that film was Andy Muschietti’s It: Chapter One. I talked about this when I discussed the first film, but I generally became worried that the film was going […]
