As we continue to look back at the best movies of 2022, we will now be looking at the best movies from each genre. I will be looking at the best foreign-language film, best comedy, and best action movie, along with other genres. Each category will have five “nominees” (a.k.a my personal top five) with my “winner” (my favorite) in bold, followed by short reasoning as to why I picked it the best. Here are…

Continuing my look back at the best movies of 2022, I am now going to look at the best technical achievements of 2022. I will be looking at the best screenplays, cinematography, production design, song, and other technical categories like that. Like Best of the Genres, each category will have five “nominees” (a.k.a my personal top five) with my “winner” (my favorite) in bold, followed by short reasoning as to why I chose it as…

I wouldn’t usually rank the movies of a production company. Thinking about ranking the movies from the likes of Paramount or Universal or Disney just seems like a daunting task because of how long they have been around and how many movies they have in their catalog. But the production studio A24 has been around for only a decade and within that decade, they have established themselves as one of the most singular and best…

2022 is already halfway complete which means it is time to look at the best movies of 2022 so far. I have seen 85 movies so far in 2022, a very healthy amount despite having missed some major titles. Looking back at the 85 movies I’ve seen, I would say 2022 has been a rather great year for movies. We’ve seen great films from all genres and all budgets while also getting some excellent performances. …

The 2022 Academy Awards took place last night and to put it bluntly, it was an absolute shit-show. From cutting categories and terribly editing them into the show, the flat and boring musical numbers, the useless hosts, and Will Smith, this was one of the most chaotic and messy Oscars I have ever seen. But, despite how bad the show was overall, there were still some nice moments throughout the show. Here is my recap…

The 2022 Oscars are here and despite recent controversies over presenters and cutting a few categories from the show, I always get excited for Oscar night. There are quite a few categories that seem locked up, but there is still a number of that categories are still up in the air, including Best Actress and Best Picture.

The Oscars are here! Following a bizarre and chaotic 2020 Oscar season, the 2021 one felt more of the usual. It was an exhausting year and I cannot wait for the 2021 movie year to be officially over, but there were a lot of good movies in 2021, so it wasn’t all bad. Overall, the 2022 Oscar Best Picture nominees are very good. Though only two of the nominees made my personal top ten movies…

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…
