Ranking the Films of David Gordon Green
David Gordon Green is a filmmaker who fascinates me. He started out his filmmaking career by being compared to a young Terrence Malick. Then, he transitioned to mainstream comedies, before having a run with movie stars who hadn’t gotten their on-screen dues in a bit. Most recently, he’s been on a horror kick. So, you […] More

TIFF: The Best Movies and Performances at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival
It sure seems like I never get the same version of the Toronto International Film Festival twice. My maiden voyage was recapped here on the site, but it was a unique situation that will likely never be repeated. Last year was closer to the norm, with stars and glitz abound. This year?

Ranking the Films of Christopher Nolan
Christopher Nolan is a unique breed of filmmaker. Auteur driven blockbuster filmmaking is few and far between, so he’s a rare bird. Like many writer/directors, he began with independent roots, before growing to studio cinema. Of course, Nolan also revolutionized comic book and superhero films, paving the way for him to essentially have a blank […] More

Ranking the Films in the ‘Mission: Impossible’ Franchise So Far
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.

On Friday, the newest Indiana Jones flick opens. Now, Steven Spielberg isn’t directing, as James Mangold has stepped in, but Harrison Ford is still in the fedora. Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny brings the franchise to a close, and while it’s a mostly fitting sendoff to the character, I started thinking about the […] More

Folks, the 2023 Tribeca Film Festival is now in the books! The past handful of years, Tribeca was a very different fest than normal, though the prior two years (as well as, to an extent, this year) it was a hybrid type of situation, mixing in person and virtual events.

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 the films they’ve […] More

Those of you who listen to the Awards Radar Podcast got a tease of this earlier in the week. Listen here for that, but Myles and I ranked the films in the DC Extended Universe. Piggybacking off of that, and tied in to the release today of The Flash, I’ve expanded the ranking to include […] More
