January 8, 2019

Aquaman is an entertaining film that suffers from being overstuffed.

Vice Review

December 31, 2018

Adam McKay doesn’t recreate the greatness of The Big Short due to Vice’s loud and inconsistent narrative, but its phenomenal performances save the film.

Boasting some of the strongest acting and filmmaking of the year, The Favourite is a royal spectacle.

Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning

Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning is an entertaining summer blockbuster. Due to lackluster villains and too many plot lines, it does not soar to the heights of Fallout and Rogue Nation but, let me tell you, Ethan Hunt is the only man in the galaxy who could take on this mission. The entity did not tell me to say that either.

The Brutalist Review

The Brutalist contains some impressive performances and technically great filmmaking, but the chaotic second act and overly bloated runtime left me feeling it’s massively overhyped.

A Complete Unknown Review

A Complete Unknown is a film that folk fans can appreciate this holiday season. Timothée Chalamet is an acting powerhouse as the enigmatic Bob Dylan.

Red One Review

Besides that, I didn’t find much to enjoy in this odd and overstuffed mess. I would not recommend Red One this holiday season. Unfortunately, it is neither festive nor fun. It is game over though, so that counts for something.

Anora Review

Anora is a gritty tale of excess, classism, and the hope of the American dream. The film contains great performances with a star-making turn by Mikey Madison.

A Real Pain Review

A Real Pain is a fantastic character study on generational trauma, family dynamics, and complicated grief. It toes the line of comedy and drama to create a truly impressive film.
