A24 is a studio that has become known for its artsy, psychological horror films (The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017), It Comes at Night (2017), Hereditary (2018), Midsommar (2019), The Lighthouse (2019)), and I myself have loved/been deeply disturbed by most of them. So, I was very excited to see their newest film from …
As I mentioned in my Last Night in Soho review on Friday, I love directors who have an artistic style that is distinctly theirs, and Wes Anderson is one filmmaker where his cinematic art is very unique to him. Wes Anderson films are must-see events for cinephiles as they are all works of quirky, comedic …
My favorite directors, and the directors that I find tend to make the best movies, are the ones that have a very distinct DNA in their films that make it completely theirs: Quentin Tarantino, Taika Waititi, Wes Anderson, Steven Spielberg just to name a few. Another such director is Edgar Wright, whose films such as …
If there is a director that I'm unsure how to feel about, it is M. Night Shyamalan as he has both some fantastic films (The Sixth Sense (1999), Signs (2002), Split (2016)) and some of the worst films I've ever seen (Lady in the Water (2006), The Happening (2008), and what I consider the worst …
Based on Eric Jager's 2004 novel, The Last Duel: A True Story of Trial by Combat in Medieval France, Ridley Scott's latest film is an absolute win. With a slew of phenomenal performances, an intriguing plot structure, a fantastic story, and beautiful cinematography, The Last Duel is a film that absolutely immerses you from beginning …
I see a lot of films every year, and with every year comes a fresh batch of films that are phenomenal feats in the art of filmmaking, with only a very few, if any at all, being absolute masterpieces and instant classics. Prior to last night (October 21, 2021), I believed 2021 had already seen …
The show that has taken the entire world by storm this year has been the South Korean dystopian drama, Squid Game (2021), and its popularity is not misplaced. From Battle Royale (2000) to The Hunger Games (2012), for a while, audiences loved the dystopian, battle-to-the-death storyline, and Squid Game is certainly capitalizing on that and …
Last year, Hulu released the first season of Love, Victor, and I was left feeling just okay with it (you can check out my in-depth review for season 1 here). With the series getting a season 2 order from Hulu, I was optimistic that the show would be able to address several of the issues …
Editing Note: This was written two months ago, but is only now being published. If there is any weird/out of place statements involving timing, that is why. Marvel and Disney have done it again. With WandaVision's (2021) incredible success on Disney+ earlier this year, hopes were high for Marvel's future presence on the streaming service. …

Outside of their Alice in Wonderland (2010/2016), Maleficent (2014/2019), and Dumbo (2019) films, I have thoroughly enjoyed Disney's recent live action treatments of their classic catalogue. One of my all time favorite IPs in the Disney vault is One Hundred and One Dalmatians (1961), and I have unironically loved the many 101 television series and …
