It’s insane to think, but 2018 is half way over.  I almost can’t believe how fast six months has gone, but alas, we are here.  Over the course of these six months, I saw 98 feature length films, a new personal best.  This has been a strong six months of movies, not so much for Hollywood, though, but for foreign, documentary, and indie films, as they account of seven of my top ten.  We also…

May is the official kickoff to the summer movie season!  Usually, May starts us off with a bang, and is usually a good indicator of what the summer movie season is going to be like over the next four months.  May 2018 isn’t so much a bang as it is a spark, in large part due to Avengers: Infinity War coming out in April.  We get a couple blockbusters, but it’s a relatively quiet month,…

This April, unlike many before it, seems to be kicking off the summer movie season.  With a lot of genre films, blockbusters, and sequels, we have a slate that is incredibly diverse and one that has a movie for everyone.  Check out my picks for the most exciting movies coming out in April.         5 – SUPER TROOPERS 2 (Jay Chandrasekhar, April 20) Super Troopers is one of the great cult hit of the 2000’s. …

This weekend, Steven Spielberg’s latest film, Ready Player One, is released.  The movie is based on a book of the same name about a futuristic world where a person can enter what is called Oasis, a place where anyone can be anything they want to be and do what they want to do.  The movie is filled with pop culture references and characters, like the Iron Giant, the Dolorean, King Kong, Chucky from Child’s Play, and numerous…
