This week has seen the New York Times capture the attention and imagination of cinephiles by publishing a list of the 100 best films of the 21st century. What sets this apart is how, in aiming to get reader engagement, NYT has added the ability for readers to post their own top ten lists on […] More
Danny Boyle is a director who’s almost impossible to pin down. For many, they first learned his name with his breakout indie hit Trainspotting. From there, it was a long and winding road to the Academy Awards, where he won Best Director for Slumdog Millionaire. In between, he tried almost everything. Hell, recently he even […] More
Without a doubt, Pixar is a name that means something in the world of animated cinema. It’s a stamp of quality unlike anything else the medium has seen. Throughout its history, there have been multiple runs where Pixar was clearly on a level far different than any other animation house. So, when you look at […] More
It’s no secret, so I’m just going to get straight to it…Kevin Smith is one of my favorite filmmakers. As far back as when I was first getting into film, Smith was someone I gravitated towards immediately. Sure, occasionally it leads to some smirking at an Oscar prognosticator loving a storyteller far from the awards race, […] More
Wes Anderson is a filmmaker that I just rarely vibe with. That doesn’t mean that I don’t appreciate what he’s up to, because I do. I completely get why so many love Anderson’s work. For me? More times than not, it all just comes off as too artificial. Over the years, I’ve detailed when he’s […] More
Much like I said the last time, few franchises have showcased what we see in Mission: Impossible. A blockbuster that somehow still gets bigger, and in many cases, better with each outing? That’s almost unheard of. What started as a remake of a television series hoping to piggyback off of Tom Cruise as a movie star has now […] More
Movie stars don’t come any bigger than Tom Cruise. Whether it’s early days in Risky Business or Top Gun, or later on with work like in Born on the Fourth of July, Jerry Maguire, or Rain Man, Cruise has underrated range. He’s an all-timer of an action hero, sure, but the charm he can put […] More
Much like I said last year, it’s impossible not to recognize greatness when you see Cate Blanchett on the silver screen. Two Academy Awards on her mantle speak to this, but it goes beyond the accolades. Sure, she’s considered one of the best of her era, but just watching her in literally anything gives you a sense […] More
Ryan Coogler has managed to, in a fairly short amount of time, craft a very prominent position for himself in Hollywood. Prior to Sinners, he was one of the more successful filmmakers in the business when it came to making IP work feel personal. Post-Sinners, he’s cemented himself as an A-list auteur with a voice […] More

Florence Pugh has, in short order, become unquestionably one of our best young actresses. Able to seamlessly transition between independent cinema and blockbusters, Pugh is at home in a Best Picture winner as she is in a new effort within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. With Thunderbolts* about to hit theaters, it felt like a nice […] More
I’m a Ben Affleck fan. Now, I know some folks aren’t as high on him as I am, but for me, he’s not only one of the more underrated actors out there, he’s a fascinating one as well. There’s the quirk of how he has two Academy Awards and yet neither of his nominations, which […] More
