    Post war Japan is at its lowest point when a new crisis emerges in the form of a giant monster, baptized in the horrific power of the atomic bomb.

    In a world fill of mediocre Godzilla outings and disappointing blockbuster experiences, Minus One is here to save the day. Beyond the monster, this is a beautiful example of how to tackle a heartfelt and human story. Ryunosuke Kamiki crushes with a…

    An epic that details the checkered rise and fall of French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte and his relentless journey to power through the prism of his addictive, volatile relationship with his wife, Josephine.

    Quick Review:

    Ridley Scott would call me a f$cking idiot if he saw my score for this (if you know, you know). In all seriousness, this was easily my most anticipated of the…

    A hapless family man finds his life turned upside down when millions of strangers suddenly start seeing him in their dreams. When his nighttime appearances take a nightmarish turn, Paul is forced to navigate his newfound stardom.

    Pairing Nicolas Cage with a studio like A24 just feels like the right move, but this director/actor combination also makes for a beautiful marriage. Kristoffer Borgli is a name to…

    A student at Oxford University finds himself drawn into the world of a charming and aristocratic classmate, who invites him to his eccentric family's sprawling estate for a summer never to be forgotten.

    Saltburn is stunning from a visual perspective. Linus Sandgren‘s cinematography shines and helps mold this foreboding aesthetic into an unforgettable experience. The story is so original that it is hard to not, at least, respect…

    A troubled security guard begins working at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. During his first night on the job, he realizes that the night shift won't be so easy to get through. Pretty soon he will unveil what actually happened at Freddy's.

    It is apparent (mostly from my comments section) that plenty of fans enjoyed this one. It feels like a movie that is “made for the fans,” but I’m…

    Coriolanus Snow mentors and develops feelings for the female District 12 tribute during the 10th Hunger Games.

    This has never been a series that comes up in the conversation of “best movie franchises” (for me), but reminiscing often brings back good memories. The first two films work extremely well, while the latter half doesn’t fully land. Mockingjay: Part One introduces interesting ideas, but Part Two doesn’t bring it home. While it…

    A man solitary and cold, methodical and unencumbered by scruples or regrets, the killer waits in the shadows, watching for his next target. And yet the longer he waits, the more he thinks he's losing his mind, if not his cool. A brutal, bloody and stylish noir story of a professional assassin lost in a world without a moral compass, this is a case study of a man alone, armed to…

    Carol Danvers gets her powers entangled with those of Kamala Khan and Monica Rambeau, forcing them to work together to save the universe.

    The first Captain Marvel was interesting because I didn’t initially dislike it. It felt like most of the other Marvel films in a way, but it was lacking individuality. This has become a bigger issue as we have progressed further into this universe. If there are only five…

    Loki learns the true nature of 'glorious purpose' as he rectifies the past.

    Finale Talk:

    Tonight’s season 2 finale (episode 6) absolutely nailed it. Loki has always been burdened with glorious purpose, but this episode takes that concept to another level. It feels as if his journey was always meant to end up here, and if this is it, what a way to go out. Beyond Ravonna, who needed a bit more time at the end,…

    A sick and desperate John travels to Mexico for a risky and experimental medical procedure in hopes of a miracle cure for his cancer only to discover the entire operation is a scam to defraud the most vulnerable.

    In one of the most shocking twists of the year, and maybe the biggest twist this franchise has ever nailed, Saw X is my favorite film in the franchise. Granted, the Saw
