Jamie Foxx is one of the most talented people we have in Hollywood. He can sing, dance, and play piano. You can ask him to act in a drama, action movie, comedy, whatever, and he will crush it every time. This Friday, Foxx stars in the corrupt cop flick, Sleepless. So in honor of that, here are my five favorite Jamie Foxx movies. This list is based on Foxx’s performance and the movie’s quality. …

As 2016 comes to a close, it is time to start counting down the best movies of 2016. This will be a number of lists looking at the best movies and performances of the year, as well as looking at the best of specific genres. I am going to kick this off with looking at the comic book movies of 2016. Once again, we got a number of comic book films this year. Six to…

Continuing to look at the best and worst movies of 2016, I am not going to look at the best of the genres. I am going to break down my favorite movies per genre with a brief description as to why I chose that specific film. BEST FOREIGN FILM – ELLE RUNNER UP – PARADISE Paradise was one of the most harrowing movies I saw in 2016, but Paul Verhoeven’s sexualized thriller is a throwback…

Usually with this piece, it’s tough to narrow down the list to just five. However, we are in what I like to consider a cinematic shit-hole, or simply, January. When seeing what movies were coming out this month, I cringed. There is legitimately one movie coming out that I’d actually like to see. Thankfully, I’ll be at the Sundance Film Festival for two weeks, so I don’t have to suffer through everything. But, for you…

Continuing to look at the best movies of 2016, I am going to look at the best of the techs. What I mean by techs is the more technical categories, like screenplays, costumes, editing, cinematography, etc. So here we go. BEST ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY – THE NICE GUYS RUNNER UP – THE LOBSTER I loved the originality and uniqueness of The Lobster. But the way The Nice Guys merged neo-noir and buddy comedy with whip-smart dialog is just…

2016 has finally come to an end and it is time to look at the best movies of 2016 as well as the worst of 2016. It has been one hell of a year for cinema. I saw more movies this year than any other year before. I was exposed to so many genres and filmmakers, some new, some old. But, with every year, I learn some things along the way while watching all the…

For me, Martin Scorsese is the greatest director to ever live. Since bursting on to the scene with 1973’s Mean Streets, Scorsese has shown time and time again his greatness. He has taken us on a number of different journey’s, from the dirty night life of New York cabbie, to going deep into the mafia, to insane asylums. He’s given us gangster films, biopics, thrillers, musicals, religious epics, documentaries, and even a family film. So in…

Martin Scorsese’s career is filled with great movies, great scenes, and great characters. When dissecting his filmography, you can’t help but be astounded by singular moments. Here are my picks for the best scenes from Martin Scorsese movies. This was an incredibly tough list, and you can watch each scene down below. Also, mild spoilers if you haven’t seen these movies (which if you haven’t, do immediately). 5 – “YOU TALKIN’ TO…

2016 was the year of animation. So many animated movies came out and none of them, I’d consider, were bad. In fact, I’d argue we got at least two or three that could be considered some of the best animated movies of this decade. I didn’t get to see some of the foreign films that were released, nor some of the American releases (I happily skipped Norm of the North). But with that, here is my…
