There’s no denying The Brutalist is a big swing. Clocking in at nearly four hours, it’s a film that practically dares you to look away—but I couldn’t.

As a first-timer to the world of Lilo & Stitch, I went into this movie with fresh eyes — no nostalgia, no comparisons, just hoping for a solid family flick we could all enjoy. Mission accomplished.

500 Fireflies tells one of my favorite kinds of stories—the kind that’s quiet on the surface but packed with rich character work and emotional resonance.

Not usually a true crime fan, but Netflix’s A Deadly American Marriage pulled me in with its layered storytelling and “was it justified?” tension.

If you love stories that celebrate the human spirit and the redemptive power of art, don’t let Sing Sing pass you by.

Companion is a delightful little genre mashup—sci-fi, thriller and dark comedy—that totally caught me off guard in the best way.

If I had caught The Nickel Boys in 2024, it would’ve topped my best-of-the-year list. Watching it now, it’s clear this is the film more people need to be talking about.

A Minecraft Movie left me feeling every bit of my age. This wasn’t made for me — and honestly, that’s okay.

A Simple Favor goes into some dark territories, but handles it all with a sense of humor and delight that makes you ease into a very entertaining viewing experience.

Starts like your typical Marvel movie—ends like superhero group therapy. Thunderbolts* digs into trauma and trust issues with surprising sincerity and a stellar cast

The Naked Gun is a goofy mess… until that glorious baseball finale. Not quite a comedy classic, but close.

Some movies catch you off guard in the best possible way. Sinners is exactly that. One of the best films of 2025.

WrestleMania IX: Becoming a Spectacle is WWE-produced nostalgia candy—slick, celebratory and a peek behind the curtain of the ultimate wrestling soap opera

Jason Reitman’s Saturday Night isn’t just a nostalgia trip; it’s a chaotic, behind-the-scenes sprint through the hours leading up to that very first live show that changed comedy—and late-night TV—forever.

If Harold and Maude wandered into a contemporary synagogue and bumped into a Jewish grief-comedy, you’d land somewhere near Between the Temples.

Flow is easily one of the most unexpected and quietly powerful animated films I’ve seen in a long time. Sure, it’s a little rough around the edges—but that rawness? That’s exactly what makes it so mesmerizing.

Anora is a film that thrives not so much on its plot but on its ability to sidestep clichés. The "sex worker with a heart of gold" trope has been explored before, but it's been a while since a newcomer like Mikey Madison has brought so much life to a role with such an unapologetic and authentic performance.

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is a rare gem that balances intellectual wit with laugh-out-loud physical comedy. It still holds up just as well today as it did when I was eight—and that’s saying something.

Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl was cute and funny, but it didn’t hit quite like the earlier installments.
