Yesterday, it was announced that director Colin Trevorrow is no longer directing Star Wars: Episode IX after he and Disney mutually agreed to part ways due to creative differences. Personally, I am a big fan of this move. I loved Trevorrow’s debut film, Safety Not Guaranteed (2012), but after the lackluster Jurassic World (2015) and the bizarre The Book of Henry (2017), I lost faith in Trevorrow as a director. But now, the Star Wars franchise needs a new director, and…

Steven Soderbergh is a director I have a lot of admiration for. He isn’t the most popular, nor does he have a perfect filmography. But he is one of the most unique and daring directors we’ve ever seen, challenging his viewers with his use of different filmmaking styles and deep themes. After retiring from the director’s chair for a few years, Soderbergh is back this Friday with Unsane, a film I am incredibly excited for. So…

Charlize Theron is one of the premiere leading ladies in Hollywood. An actress who really didn’t break out until the early 2000’s, Theron has proven her diversity as an actress, starring in everything from action thrillers, to comedies, to Oscar contenders. This week, Theron stars in Atomic Blonde, which looks incredibly bad ass. So in honor of that, here are my picks for the best Charlize Theron movies. These movies are based on movie quality and…

Over the last few weeks, I have been focusing on watching film series. Whether it’s a trilogy or a six-film saga, I’m trying to run through different series a day.

This was a tough, tough list to make, but…

June is officially over, which means we are halfway through the 2017 cinematic year. I have seen 93 movies so far this year, just short of my goal of 100 for the first half (my goal is 200 for the whole year). I’ve seen some great films, and some not so great films, but overall, 2017 is shaping out to be a great year for movies. Here are my picks for the best movies of 2017…

The first Spider-Man film bursted into cinemas in the summer of 2002 and was immediately a cultural phenomenon. It is now 2019 and we are on our eighth Spider-Man film, Spider-Man: Far From Home. Is it a bit much? Maybe. If you think about it, we have nine Batman theatrical films and the first Batman film debuted in 1966. But I digress. In honor of Far From Home, here is my ranking of all the Spider-Man movies. …
