Best Movies

There have been some iconic cars throughout the cinema’s life.  Some of them are cars people can actually drive, some of them fly.  Whether it was used in a high-speed pursuit or to go back in time, cars have lived in movies forever.  So in honor of Cars 3 coming out this weekend, here are my picks for the best movie cars.     5 – ASTON MARTIN DB5 from GOLDFINGER (Guy Hamilton, 1964) James Bond is the…

Where as May was a relatively lackluster month for movies, June is as good as it gets.  This is the perfect summer movie month.  We get a great combination of big budget franchise films and small indie movies, including my favorite comedy of the year.  Here are my picks for the best movies coming out in June.         5 – THE BIG SICK (Michael Showalter, June 23) I had the pleasure of seeing The Big…

When you think of a movie star, who do you think of?  George Clooney?  Brad Pitt?  Matt Damon?  They’re fine and all, but the definition of a movie star is Tom Cruise.  Since breaking out in Risky Business (1983), Cruise has been one of the most consistent and entertaining actors in Hollywood, starring in a wide range of films from big budget blockbusters to Oscar nominated dramas.  This weekend, Cruise stars in the latest Mission: Impossible film, Mission: Impossible: Fallout,…

This week, Wonder Woman is released and it could be argued that it is one of the most important comic book movies ever released.  Firstly, the DCEU has a lot riding on it, especially after last year’s debacle of Batman v. Superman and Suicide Squad, both of which were critical disasters and underperformed at the box office.  But more importantly, it is the first female-led comic book movie since the abysmal Catwoman (2004) (but do we really count that one?), which…

This looks like one of the strongest months for Netflix I have ever seen.  There is a great mixture of modern gems and cinematic classics, along with one of their most anticipated original movies.  Check out my picks for the best movies coming to Netflix in June.   You can get the full list of all the movies and shows coming to Netflix this month right here.         5 – OKJA (Bong Joon Ho,…

Ridley Scott is one of the best directors to ever get behind the camera.  A master of story and visuals, his filmography is as diverse as any director’s out there, making films of all genre from sci-fi, to war epic, to romantic drama.  This Friday, Scott steps back in the Alien franchise with Alien: Covenant, which is an excellent movie.  So in honor of that, here are my picks for the best Ridley Scott movies.        …

It’s Summer Movie Season, folks!  The time of the year where the cinemas are filled with sequels, super-heroes, explosions, color, and not a lot of thinking.  Though not my favorite time of the year for movies, I love going to the movies and watching some mind-numbing movie that blows up the screen.  Here are some of the titles I am looking forward to during the 2017 Summer Movie Season.  I will be breaking it down by…

We are officially done with the first third of 2017, which means we are entering one of biggest movie times of the year; summer movie season.  It’s that time of the year when big budgeted sequels, effects-driven movies are released.  May kicks it off with such movies, though this month doesn’t look as strong as it has in the past.  Here are my picks for the most exciting movies coming out in May.    …

Netflix is coming strong with original programming this May, with a number of hit shows coming back and a new movie.  But, we also get our fair share of cinematic gems, including some all-time classics.  Here are my picks for the best movies coming to Netflix in May.   You can see the full list of all movies and shows coming to Netflix in May by clicking right here.     5 – WAR MACHINE (David…

It’s incredible to think of Oscar Isaac as still a relative newcomer.  A supporting player for many years, Isaac got his first true breakout in Ridley Scott’s Robin Hood (2010) and has been on the rise since, becoming one of the best and most exciting actors working today.  This weekend, Isaac stars in Terry George’s The Promise, alongside Christian Bale.  So with that, here are my picks for the best Oscar Isaac movies.   Remember, these movies are…
