‘Inside Out 2’ is an incredibly creative, funny, and heartwarming follow up to Pixar’s perfect 2015 film.

In 2015, Pixar released INSIDE OUT. My first born daughter was one-year old. Touching on so many emotions, literally and figuratively, the film hit me hard and I thought it was one of the most beautiful movies I’ve ever seen. INSIDE OUT remains one of my few perfect review scores. This time, I was...

I Saw The TV Glow is full of incredible imagery, using color and sound to convey an atmosphere of dread, longing, and emptiness.

Owen (played by Justice Smith as a teenager and Ian Foreman as a child) is just trying to make it through life in the suburbs when a strange but independently cooler older girl (Bridgette Lundy-Paine) from school introduces him to a mysterious late-night TV show called “The Pink Opaque” – a vi...

BOY KILLS WORLD is a ridiculously funny, action-packed, violent roller coaster ride, where absurdity reigns through gruesome vengeance.

BOY KILLS WORLD is a ridiculously funny, action-packed, violent roller coaster ride, where absurdity reigns through gruesome vengeance. The imagery on screen is so insanely dark and savage that it’s hard to believe it pulls off also being massively light and playful.

CIVIL WAR is a powerful new film from Alex Garland and it might be the most anxiety I’ve ever experienced in a movie.

A journey across a dystopian not-so-distant future America, CIVIL WAR follows a team of military-embedded journalists as they race against time to reach Washing DC. Their goal is to interview the President of the United States before rebel factions descend upon the White House. Our press team includ...

MONKEY MAN has some truly exquisite fight sequences, all of which are excruciatingly fun.

Dev Patel’s directorial debut attempts to mix spiritual awakenings and religious morality with incredible vengeance-filled, violent action. Does it succeed? Mostly. But mostly because the violent action portion is wildly entertaining. To put it simply, MONKEY MAN needs less talky talky and more pu...

GHOSTBUSTERS: FROZEN EMPIRE is…fine, but nowhere near the high standard humor the material deserves.

Three years ago, Jason Reitman (son of original GHOSTBUSTERS director Ivan Reitman) treated us to a proper sequel in GHOSTBUSTERS: AFTERLIFE. It perfectly mixed a bit of nostalgia, while keeping all the laughs and excitement of the original, at the same time introducing new characters with a new kid...

DUNE: PART TWO is an impressive, grand, sensory experience that demands to be viewed on the big screen.

Two years ago, one of my favorite movies was DUNE: PART ONE, which premiered on HBO during the limited theater appearances following COVID. I am ecstatic to be able to see DUNE: PART TWO in IMAX theater, because it is an absolutely glorious visual and sensory experience to behold.

needed more Catherine O'Hara.

A famous spy novel author becomes the target of a villainous espionage syndicate because the plot of her books continue to be a little too accurate to the sinister real world events. ARGYLLE is the latest film from director Matthew Vaughn who also brought us the KINGSMAN franchise. ARGYLLE is simila...

The nominations may have come out, but our Ten Best Movies of 2023 is a better list. What are your favorite movies from the past year?

I’m so happy the film industry seems to be on an upswing. 2023 was a very solid year in films and proved to produce even more great movies than the exceptional 2022 lot. My Ten Best Movies of 2023 include a total of 25 films that I believe are worth checking out. I have a lot of respect for my hon...

While an admirable effort, MAESTRO feels as though Cooper is trying way too hard to win an Oscar without any worthy substance.

MAESTRO chronicles the life of American composer Leonard Bernstein (Bradley Cooper) and his relationship with actress Felicia Montealegre Cohn Bernstein (Carey Mulligan). Spanning five decades, the film covers their meeting and marriage between 1940s to 1980s.

Will you be seeing the historic character epic NAPOLEON Thanksgiving weekend?

Ridley Scott directing a historic film about Napoleon Bonaparte played by Joaquin Phoenix sounds like a surefire win. Through extraordinary battle sequences, fantastic costuming, beautiful set designs, and humorous albeit dark character details, NAPOLEON delivers in many aspects. However, at two and...

WISH is inspiring, hopeful, and I believe genuinely funny for all ages.

While Disney’s Marvel property seems to become more and more bland, Disney animation continues to hit homeruns. I’m always excited to take my kids to the movies, but I’m more looking forward to it for their sake rather than my own. I’m far more eager to see some of the other new films pushin...

Does “Next Goal Wins” score big or fail miserably?

Based on a true story, NEXT GOAL WINS follows the dreadful American Samoa soccer team, made famous by their historical 2001 FIFA match where they lost 31-0. The film picks up with their World Cup qualifying attempt in 2010. They hire down-on-his-luck soccer coach Thomas Rongen (Michael Fassbender).....

Based on the true events set in the 1920’s involving suspicious murders of the Osage Nation, KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON is another Martin Scorsese masterpiece.

With a career spanning six decades, Martin Scorsese is without a doubt one of the greatest directors of all time. It is a pleasure to watch his films on the big screen. Even when his movies miss the mark, there is an artistry worth checking out. I for one have not loved all of his […]

An original science fiction film can be hard to come by these days, so THE CREATOR is quite refreshing, not to mention spectacular, for any fan of the genre. 20th Century Studios

An original science fiction film can be hard to come by these days, so THE CREATOR is quite refreshing for any fan of the genre. Tackling many themes about our views of A.I. and our different reactionary responses as humans, THE CREATOR treads familiar territory but flips the villainry script promot...

A Haunting In Venice might be the best of Kenneth Branagh’s trilogy adaptations from Agathe Christie.

The great detective Hercule Poirot and his magnificent mustache return in A HAUNTING IN VENICE, another sequel that I didn’t realize anyone wanted. However, the third film in the line of Agathe Christie adaptations is actually the best of the series. But that’s not saying much. Kenneth Branagh o...

THE LAST VOYAGE OF THE DEMETER is a refreshing throwback to classic monster mayhem with amazingly haunting art direction.

THE LAST VOYAGE OF THE DEMETER is a refreshing throwback to classic monster mayhem with some amazing art direction, even if it doesn’t always pull out the frights or character development as greatly as it should. Based on the chapter, “The Captain’s Log” of Dracula by Bram Stoker, THE LAST V...

If you’ve never seen the original 1993 THE RIVER WILD, definitely do that. But RIVER WILD 2023 is different enough from the original, achieving some thrills and light entertainment.

I absolutely love 1994’s THE RIVER WILD starring Meryl Streep, Kevin Bacon, David Strathairn, and John C. Reilly. So it seems a bit frustrating that a remake of a nearly 30 year-old popular film with some serious star power actors would get remade with, and no offense to the talented actors in the...

Christopher Nolan’s is a devastatingly impactful intellectual study of the creation and outcome of the world’s most deadly weapon.

Quiet and unassuming is not how you might describe a film dealing with the explosive magnitude of the atom bomb. However, Christopher Nolan’s OPPENHEIMER is an intellectual study of the creation and outcome of the world’s most deadly weapon. The grandness of the film is almost contradictory to i...

A non-stop, high-octane thrill ride, Mission: Impossible- Dead Reckoning Part One might be the best in the series.

Yes! Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt is back in action for MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – DEAD RECKONING PART ONE. And I mean ACTION! A non-stop, high octane, thrill ride, the 7th installment (yeah, I said 7) is a ton of fun! I got to the screening late. When I say late, I mean I got there […]

At 81 years-old, Harrison Ford is still crushing his wily charm and adventurous spirit as Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.

Firstly, it was so much fun seeing Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones on the big screen again. I think what made it so much fun is that INDIANA JONES AND THE DIAL OF DESTINY is actually a pretty decent movie. Now I’m not saying that it’s great or even close to better than the first […]

“ELEMENTAL is too lovey dovey.” This quote is from my 9 year-old daughter. My 6 year-old son was a bit more forgiving, but still concurred. Both of their squirmy and restless body language during our screening confirmed, ELEMENTAL, while perfectly fine in many ways, is probably not a rewatch kin...

is surprisingly exhilarating, funny, and extremely interesting, despite already knowing the outcome.

Growing up as a kid in the 80’s and 90’s, Michael Jordan was king. Like all kids, I had a poster of him and dreamed of flying high just as he did. I think anyone of my generation is going to love AIR. But even without that Michael Jordan connection, I think AIR has enough […]

John Wick: Chapter 4 is a bloody good time!

Who would have thought when JOHN WICK was released in 2014 that we would be gaining a decade of one of the greatest action franchises of all time? Seriously, JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 4 is another addition to the outright incredible choreographed stunt work in shoot’em up action that has ever been displa...

GUY RITCHIE’S THE COVENANT (yes, that’s the full title) is a fairly intense wartime rescue film that is at times thrilling while simultaneously somewhat middle of the road. Taking place during the last decade of US military involvement and subsequent departure of Afghanistan, THE COVENANT is not...
