Starting this Tuesday is the 78th Cannes Film Festival. As one of the “Big 5” festivals, there are some major films that will be premiering during the 12 day event. While Oscar success isn’t guaranteed if a film wins the top honor of the fesitival, the Palme d’Or, it certainly doesn’t hurt. Recently we have…

For certainly films going forward, I will have longer reviews posted separately from the usual weekly posts. That is because there are movies coming up that mean more to me for reasons. That, and the weekly posts can’t be that long. so, with that in mind, here is what I thought about the new MCU…

The Back to the Future trilogy is great. I’m not breaking any news there. However, one question has survived in the 35 years since Part III in 1990: When are we getting Part IV. The simple answer is we aren’t getting one, but has that stopped Bob Gale and Robert Zemeckis from having to hear…

Before you read this week’s reviews, I would like to get back up in my soapbox for a moment. I have one cardinal rule for watching a movie at the theater. No talking. I’m not talking about whispering a quick note to someone. We all do that. I’m talking about openly talking. I say all…

This week turned into very busy week, so no time to waste. On to the reviews! This was really not a pleasant film to sit through. The premise is very simple at first glance: a woman shrouded in black shows up in the yard of a family who just went through a great tragedy. That…

Car issue in the middle of the week sent me up to the country for the rest of the week. Plus side, I spent time with family. Minus side, my original plan for this week was scratched. My only options without driving an hour were Snow White, Alto Knights, A Working Man, or Novocaine. That…

This week, Pixar revealed that in 2029 we will be getting Coco 2. My immediate thought was oh no. For some 2017’s Coco is the last truly great Pixar film. I think 2020’s Soul could be part of that conversation, but the point remains. What we have gotten since Coco are Toy Story, Incredibles, and…

Now that this year’s Academy Awards have taken place, it’s never too early to look ahead to next year. There are some interesting options that could be up for the big prize next year, but here are the ten that I think will be the nominees. I look forward to seeing how wrong I was.…

Last week, Anora took the big prize at the Academy Awards winning Best Picture. It also made a little history too. In the Festival circuit, there is the Big Three. That would be the Berlin International Film Festival, the Cannes Film Festival, and the Venice Film Festival. The top prize at those festivals are among…

Starting tomorrow, my 10th tournament will begin over on Instagram. This tournament will be the 2nd Annual Box Office Classic. Last year, for the inaugural Classic, I decided who won each matchup. It was fun for me, but between people not agreeing with my choices, and it just being more fun to open it up…
