I think like many people I have certain friendships in my life that have since faded, that I silently grieve. It is difficult to move past the pain of no longer seeing them and sharing our lives together. Time is supposedly a healer but just as I think I am healed, I discover evidence of the emotional scars left behind. Past Lives is a film that I think will fundamentally change the way I view these friendships. Celine Song showed…

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse 2023
Shoutout to all my friends and former coworkers who helped make this one of the most visually compelling films of any medium!
Spider-Man was my first comic and is what inspired me to one day purse a career at Marvel Studios. The first Spider-Verse film was my favorite film of that year, and in the time since that film, I have had the incredible honor of playing a part in helping create a Spider-man project myself. It feels almost wrong…

Kelce 2023
The rare sports documentary that has the ability to appeal to everyone, not just sports fans due to an intimate portrayal of its subjects. The Kelce brothers competing against each other in the Superbowl, was one of the most remarkable stories in NFL history. This documentary was filming the entire year leading up to that moment. The focus is on Jason Kelce, a center for the Eagles, and the older brother to Travis, who this week gained an even greater…

The Creator 2023
For a budget of $80 million dollars, Gareth Edwards managed to create the most visually stunning Sci Fi film since Mad Max Fury Road.

The movie feels like a miracle, even more so when you study up on the behind the scenes filmmaking. Just like Star Wars A New Hope, the constraints of the budget inspired…

Creed III 2023
Full disclosure: I work very closely with the producers of this film so admit full unabashed bias.
Creed 3 is a triumph for Michael B Jordan. As a first time director, I was afraid he’d follow a cookie cutter template, which would have been easy to do and still be successful. Instead, this film shines with his unique perspective on the main characters, using inspiration from his favorite anime. Perhaps the most bold choice of the film was the way…

Babylon 2022
Margot Robbie deserves the Oscar this year for a truly astonishing performance. Tobias Vincent Maguire’s thespianism demands for the Academy to create a new category, Best Actor in a Meme. Maguire chews scenery like Pooh Bear devours honey.
Babylon is a paradox. A maximalist vision executed with exacting precision. Early on we are introduced to the excesses of 1920's Hollywood, a party that would make both Gatsby and the Wolf of Wall Street himself, jealous. In this night of debauchery…
