Life of Pi (2012) - Review
Paired with great performances from Suraj Sharma and Irrfan Khan, and Life of Pi is profound picture that nails close to everything on an emotional and technical level.

Love, Death, and Robots: Vol. 3 (2022) - Review
The third volume of this sci-fi anthology series still isn’t afraid to take risks, for better or for worse.

Hustle (2022) - Review
If you love an underdog, or you’re a fan of basketball, this one’s a pretty good time.

The Peanut Butter Falcon (2019) - Review
The Peanut Butter Falcon is a beautiful, witty, and sweet film featuring a great return to form performance from Shia Labeouf.

The Tragedy of Macbeth (2021) - Review
My problem with the original play is that Macbeth himself is a passive character, but this adaptation fixes that for me.

Prehistoric Planet (2022) - Review
Stealing the aesthetics and structure for Planet Earth outright, the show adds dinosaurs into the mix instead of present day animals to make this series provocative and informative.

Insomnia (2002) - Review
It may not stand out compared to the rest of Christopher Nolan’s filmography, but Nolan’s least is still some of the best in the game.

Red Rocket (2021) - Review
Sean Baker’s most recent film Red Rocket is another example at what he does best; technical mastery and commitment to realism.

Stranger Things 4: Vol. 1 (2022) -Review
As the series has gone along, it has struggled with giving its many character meaningful development or even stuff to do. In this latest season, that problem is intensified.

Top Gun: Maverick (2022) - Review
Top Gun: Maverick is a blockbuster in its purest form, combining top notch thrills, ludicrous production value, movie stars and some big ol’ heart to create a must-see theatrical experience.

Creed (2015) - Review
A rip-roaring crowd pleaser that masters the formula that Rocky established.

Gangs of New York (2002) - Review
This film thrives on brilliant direction and top-notch production value, but by the end it does feel like Scorsese trying to do too much at once.

Val (2021) - Review
A documentary that matches its sincerity, its weirdness and its commitment to ‘real’ with its subject.

Atlanta: Season 3 (2022) - Revew
This show delivers another beautiful and unique season of television, utilizing anthological structure more than ever before.

Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers (2022) - Review
The film is pretty fun satire of reboots and animation, despite the animation itself being kinda weak sometimes.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017) - Review
Every character is engaging, the set pieces are amazing, the story and themes are interesting and impactful, and it has Porgs. What more could you want?

Blade Runner (1982) - Review
Blade Runner is the exception, because if there wasn't such a strong atmosphere, brilliant VFX, and interesting sci-fi concepts, you would have to focus on Deckard’s horrible story.

Color Out of Space (2019) - Review
The only enjoyment coming from this film was laughing along with my family by its complete lack of substance and absurdity.
