The day has finally arrived to celebrate 2023's fantastic slate of films. I took the majority of last year not writing reviews, but I was certainly enjoying them. Looking over the many films I saw in 2023 (74 to be exact), there is a lot to celebrate and praise. So just as I have done …
The Oscar nominations are finally out! Every year, I love to wake up early and celebrate the Oscar nominations as they are announced, and every year, there are always surprises and films being recognized that I haven't yet gotten the chance to watch. For example, Netflix's All Quiet on the Western Front (2022) and The …
Every year we are brought a new slew of holiday films that seek to catch our attention and be added to our yearly Christmas movie traditions.

From its all-star cast to its dark, witty mystery presented in the trailer, everything about this movie appeared appetizing to my movie palette. After the busy horror months of September and October this year, I was …
A film coming out of all the major festivals this year with rave reviews has been Martin McDonagh's latest film, The Banshees of Inisherin (2022). Being described as dark, absurd, and riotously funny, I knew that I absolutely had to go out and see this film. The festival crowd was not wrong: The Banshees of …
Over the course of my review hiatus, I watched a lot of shows and movies that I fully intend on catching up on with my reviews. I also read many fantastic books, and for my return to adaptability reviews, I decided to start with the novel that immediately made its way into my all-time favorites: …

It's been a couple of months since I last sat down to write out a review for a film. Despite all the great films and shows that have come since my last review, I haven't really had the motivation to share my thoughts on them. Then I went to the IMAX Fan Screening of Daniel …
