Best Movies

The 2017 summer movie season is officially over!  This was a great summer movies.  I saw 41 movies over the last four months (49 total if you include the movies that were released this summer that  I saw earlier this year at Sundance), and most of them were good.  Some of them have made their way into my ten best movies of the year, others have made it on the bottom ten.  This list is…

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.  I have watched a number of great trilogies, some for the first time and some were long-needed rewatches.  It is because of this that I needed to update my picks for the greatest movie trilogies ever.  This was a tough, tough list to make, but…

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.     …

Happy Fourth of July, folks!  In honor of our great nation’s birthday, I am going to countdown the best movies that make us scream, “America, Fuck yeah!”.  These aren’t the best movies about America or the best movies about great moments in American history.  No, these are the movies that are the equivalent to the explosive fireworks we watch on this day.  These are the movies that you watch while eating a gluttonous amount of…

Netflix has a lot of original content coming out this month, along with some Oscar hits and a Star Wars flick.  Here are my picks for the best movies coming to Netflix in July.   You can see the full list of movies and shows coming to Netflix in July right here.       5 – PUNCH-DRUNK LOVE (Paul Thomas Anderson, 2002) Adam Sandler has become a cinematic joke as of late.  Since around 2010 until now,…

Much like June, July is a loaded month for movies.  We get another MCU movie, the end of one of the finest trilogies of all-time, a hypnotic horror movie, and Christopher Nolan’s latest.  Here are my picks for the best movies coming out in July.       5 – A GHOST STORY (David Lowery, July 7) I saw A Ghost Story in January at the Sundance Film Festival and it is still a movie I think about…
