Best Movies

I unfortunately forgot to post this list over the last couple of months, but it’s back now and it’s a strong month to come back in.  Every year, March offers up a pretty mixed bag of movies.  We’ve gotten big blockbusters, strong indies, and even some Oscar nominees.  The last few years have given us some great movies like Us, Isle of Dogs, and 10 Cloverfield Lane, as well as some duds like Batman v. Superman, A Wrinkle…

The 2020 Sundance Film Festival is officially in the books.  I saw 24 movies this festival and overall it was a pretty good year.  There weren’t too many duds this year, but there were definitely a number of great movies from exciting new filmmakers and great performances from some of our best actors and actresses working today.  What stood out the most at this year’s festival was the number of great female performances that were…

Another year, another Sundance.  This is my tenth(!) year attending the Sundance Film Festival and I get excited every single year.  This is the greatest film festival when it comes to independent film.  So many names have broken out of Sundance to direct Marvel movies and win Oscars.  Every year we get a new crop of unique movies from up-and-coming filmmakers from around the world and this year’s crop is the most interesting in years. …

We’re finally here.  The 2010s are officially over (and have been for almost two weeks now) and what a decade it was.  When the decade began, I was in my final semester of film school at DePaul University in Chicago.  Now, ten years later, I run my own website as a movie critic.  Did I see myself in this position when the decade started?  Absolutely not.  I still can’t believe this is something I get…

I saw a lot of movies over the last decade and with that, I saw a lot of performances too.  The amount of great performances I saw over the last ten years was ridiculous, so making this list was incredibly tough and took a number of rewatches and some deep thinking.  What makes a great performance?  The key factor for me when making this list was which performance had the biggest impact on me.  Which…

Every year since Kevflix has been alive, I’ve made a list of my favorite scenes/movie moments of that year.  This is always my favorite list to make as it allows me to highlight some truly great moments in filmmaking, acting, and story-telling.  I couldn’t count down the best movies of the decade without making a best scenes/moments of the decade, so here we are. When making my list for the best scenes or movie moments…

Continuing my look at the best movies of the 2010s, I will now be looking at the best of the technical aspects of film, which includes aspects like score, editing, and screenplay.  I also included Best Director in this section.  For each technical category I did a top five ranking.  Doing only five for a decade was extremely tough, but doing five shows the elite of the elite of the decade.  Here are my picks…

The 2010’s have officially come to a close, which means it’s time to look back at the very best in movies of the last ten years.  Having just broke down my favorite movies and performances from each year (which you can find here) it is now time to culminate everything into more specific lists highlighting the absolute best of the decade.  To start, I am going to look back at the each movies from each genre,…

As the 2010’s have officially come to an end, I will be looking back at each cinematic year to give a personal decade retrospective of the best movies and performances of each year.  I will break down my Top 10 movies of each year, along with my favorite performances from that year.  I will also be listing my favorite’s from each genre, like Best Animated Movie and Best Action Movie, as well as best of…
