Movie Review: The Odyssey

Movie Review: The Odyssey

Christopher Nolan has crafted the definitive cinematic version of Homer’s The Odyssey. While the competition isn’t exactly tough – besides the Coen Brothers’ O Brother, Where Art Thou?, other adaptations of The Odyssey have largely been television miniseries – I don’t think there is a filmmaker today, or maybe ever, who could have brought the scale and scope of The Odyssey to the big screen other than Nolan. He understands the grand nature of Homer’s…

From the Collection: Charade

From the Collection: Charade

Stanley Donen’s 1963 romantic mystery Charade got a 4K upgrade from the Criterion Collection. In this comedic thriller, a trio of crooks relentlessly pursue a young American, played by Audrey Hepburn in gorgeous Givenchy, through Paris in an attempt to recover the fortune her dead husband stole from them. The only person she can trust is Cary Grant’s suave, mysterious stranger. Director Stanley Donen goes deliciously dark for Charade, a glittering emblem of 1960s style and macabre…

The Best Movies of 2026 (So Far)

The Best Movies of 2026 (So Far)

We are halfway through 2026, which means it is time to look at the best movies of 2025 so far. I have seen 73 new releases so far this year (113 total, including film festival movies and movies that will be released later this year). Last year at this time, I said 2025 was a “mixed year for movies”, and 2025 ended up being a spectacular year for movies. 2026 has been different, and in…

Movie Review: Toy Story 5

Movie Review: Toy Story 5

  The Toy Story franchise has always been about one thing: the toys. The franchise, which was started over thirty years ago and is now on its fifth installment, has always found Woody, Buzz, Jessie, Mr. Potato Head, Hamm, and the whole gang on some adventure to ultimately get back to their owner, Andy, in the first three films, or Bonnie in the last two. Whether it was being held hostage by a psychotic toy-torturer…

Movie Review: Disclosure Day

Movie Review: Disclosure Day

Steven Spielberg’s last film, the magnificent and emotionally devastating The Fablemans, was Spielberg at his most personal, pulling back the curtain on his past and dissecting his own emotions during his childhood and his parents’ divorce. It is the most personal film in his filmography, and a side of Spielberg we had never seen before. With Spielberg’s latest film, Disclosure Day, Spielberg returns to the form that people most know him for with a big-budget…

Movie Review: Power Ballad

Movie Review: Power Ballad

  John Carney makes movies about how music can connect people. Whether it’s two strangers in Once, brothers in Sing Street, or a mother and son in Flora & Son, Carney shows how the power of music can bring people closer together. His latest film, Power Ballad, is no different, as it is a movie about how a song can be interpreted in different ways to bring those closer to the ones they love. Paul…

Movie Review: Backrooms

Movie Review: Backrooms

  Sometime in the 2010s, a photograph of a large, carpeted room with fluorescent lights and pale-yellow dividing walls circulated on various message boards. While seemingly a picture of nothing, in 2019, one 4chan user posted the image in a thread for “disquieting images that just feel ‘off,” on one of the paranormal-themed message boards. This sent other 4chan users into a tizzy, as they came up with their own origins and stories about this…

Movie Review: I Love Boosters

Movie Review: I Love Boosters

Boots Riley’s I Love Boosters is the most original and audacious movie of 2026. A cinematic shot of energy, color, and creativity with big ideas and an even bigger vision. It’s as unique, entertaining, thought-provoking, and fun as movies get. Keke Palmer stars as Corvette, an aspiring fashion designer, down on her luck. She lives in an abandoned fried chicken restaurant and makes her money stealing clothes and selling them for a lower price. Her…

Movie Review: Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu

  There is one thing you need to know and one thing you need to remember before going into Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu. What you need to know is that you do not need to have watched The Mandalorian Disney+ show to understand what is going on. If you have watched the show, you might have more of a connection with the space-traveling duo and be more invested in their journey. But to…

Movie Review: Decorado (CCFF 2026)

  If you just saw screenshots of the characters of Alberto Vázquez’s Decorado, you might think it’s a fun animated film with a pair of adorable mice at the center. While the mice and some of the other characters are indeed pretty cute, this is not a nice and fun animated movie. Decorado is a dark, twistedly funny adult animated film about a mouse and his community struggling to live in a capitalist society. Arnold…
