Best Movies

Kevflix has always been a website about movies, with the occasional dabble into some TV.  But my first love before getting into writing about movies was sports and it is something I am still very passionate about.  Since I can remember, I’ve always loved sports.  I have my favorites to play and watch, but I don’t discriminate against any sport.  Whether something as popular as basketball or a sport so random it might not even…

The 2021 Sundance Film Festival has officially come to a close and what a festival it was. Though being virtual and not being able to go to the mountains of Park City this year, I thought that the festival was really good this year.  The quality of films was excellent, the software the festival used to stream the films worked seamlessly, and the scheduling allowed you to see a lot of movies.  I was able…

The 2021 Sundance Film Festival kicks off this week and though this year’s festival might look a little different than most years, it is still bound to be a great festival.  What I like best about the movies at Sundance is that you never know what you are going to get.  You might get a trailer for a few movies but for the most part, you are going off the synopsis, the cast, and the…

2020 is officially over, thank goodness.  It was a very stressful year thanks to a global pandemic and too many social injustices to count, but we made it.  This was arguably the strangest year in cinematic history, as movie theaters were open, then closed, then partially opened again, and then mostly closed again, while major studios moved their film slate to 2021 and beyond.  There was also a large number of films that went to…

Writing about my favorite performances of the year is always one of my favorite pieces.  It makes me think back to all the great performances that I watched over the year and makes me want to rewatch the great movies these performances were in.  However, it is also a very stressful piece to make because there are performances I am forced to leave off my list, which really breaks my heart.  2020 is no exception…

Every movie year offers what feels like dozens of great performances.  Some go on to win Academy Awards and other accolades while other performances get no love at all.  This list is dedicated to the latter group.  2020 was a great year for performances.  I was making my “Best Performance of 2020” list and was really struggling to narrow the list down, so that’s where this list comes in.  This is a list of performances…

Continuing my look at the best movies of 2020 these are my picks for the best movies from each genre.  This will categories such as Best Animated Film, Best Action Film, and Biggest Surprise.       BEST ANIMATED FILM WOLFWALKERS SOUL ONWARD THE WILLOUGHBYS  OVER THE MOON – Though Soul has the making of a new Pixar classic, Wolfwalkers’ gorgeous 2D animation mixed with its beautiful and cultural story blew me away.   BEST FOREIGN LANGUAGE FILM…

COVID-19 really put a damper on the cinematic experience in 2020.  In March the theaters closed down, then they reopened later in the summer with a very limited number of movies being shown, and then, depending where you lived, the theaters closed down again.  Though 2020 was still a really great year for movies, thanks to virtual film festival, virtual theaters, and studios making their films available on-demand, there were still some movies that I…
