The Academy can’t nominate every movie, it’s impossible. There are always snubs and always a debate about which movie should have gotten in and which one shouldn’t be there. For the eight nominees for Best Picture, there are eight other movies that could have been there instead. So that’s what I’m going to do here. I am going to nominate movies and performances in the major categories that I felt deserved a spot in their…

Here is how I would rank this year’s Best Picture nominees, from least favorite to best. 8 – Brooklyn As I said at the beginning, I like all the…

Now, a little over a year later, I finally got to see what everyone was talking about in Park City. Had I seen The Witch at the 2015 festival, it would have been one of my favorites there. This is a…

Before even seeing Race, it already had a couple things going against it. The first is that, even though it is a sports movie, it isn’t about basketball or football or one of the major, more exciting sports. It is about track and field, a sport people only care about every four years. The second thing is that we know the ending already because it is one of the most historic moments in Olympic and…

Because of going to Sundance and being busy, I haven’t posted much about the Oscars. In fact, I didn’t even do a nomination reactions piece or anything. It was just an area that got lost in shuffle of everything else. I was pretty good on my final predictions. I missed a couple nominees here and there, but overall, I thought I did good. No real surprises in the nominations and not a lot of huge…

But, after the debacle that was X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009), where they ruined Deadpool as a character, some fans and moviegoers may have some reservations about the film. Fear not Deadpoolers, Deadpool is everything you wanted and more. This is a vulgar, violent, hilarious, action packed,…

Remember, this list is based on movie quality and Reynolds’…
