  • Dune: Part Two

    Dune: Part Two

    ★★★★★

    It's only March 2, 2024 and it will be difficult for any other movie this year to top Dune Part Two. This sequel takes what was presented in part one and elevates it all. The story is more complex with understanding the various character motivations and how they converge or diverge from one another. The performances from the entire cast are tremendous. Timothee Chalamet delivers a performance that is powerful yet restrained when it needs to be. Javier Bardem as…

  • Oppenheimer

    Oppenheimer

    ★★★★★

    Oppenheimer is arguably Christopher Nolan' magnum copus. It incorporates all his different filmmaking techniques he has been using and experimenting with to create a truly unique biopic. The film portrays Oppenheimer as a complex, morally gray character who is both highly intelligent yet naive about his role in the development of the atomic bomb. Cillian Murphy is absolutely incredible as Oppenheimer. It is truly a career defining performance from him. Robert Downey Jr is arguably a scene stealer as Strauss…

    The Hunger Games

    ★★★★

    In honor of the new Hunger Games book being releaed today i decides to reatch the first film in the franchise. The Hunger Games is a very solid entry point into the franchise and the world of Panem. The movie is well acted and Jennifer Lawrence definitely is the standout in this movie. Her performance is strong and perfectly captures the range of emotions Katniss goes through. Josh Hutcherson is perfect as Peeta and Woody Harelson as Haymitch is the…

  • The Electric State

    The Electric State

    The Electric State should be happy that Netflix released the Amy Schumer film "Kinda Pregnant" back in February as otherwise this would be the worst film of 2025 so far. The Electric State is everything that wrong with Netflix just churning out big budget trash action films. The Russo Brothers are seriously hurting their credibility as directors withthis latest film by them. None of their non-MCU films have been solid let alone good.

    Mickey 17

    ★★★★½

    Bong Joon-ho's follow-up to his Oscar winning film Parasite, Mickey 17, is a dark comedy sci-fi film about class structure, colonization, migration and more of what we come to expect from his films. Mickey 17 is engaging from start to finish with fantastic performances from Robert Pattinson. Pattinson is able to make both Mickey 17 and 18 feel like two distinct performances. This might just be his best work to date and is the biggest selling point of the film.…

  • Saturday Night

    Saturday Night

    ★★★★★

    Saturday Night tells a biographical account about the 90 minutes leading up to the first ever live Satuday Night episode. The film moves at a fast, hard hitting pace filled with many jokes and showing the utter chaos leading up to cameras rolling live. Jason Reitman absolutely nails this movie and choosing to have the film move in real time leading up to final moments was a brilliant decision. The way the camera moves and captures the chaos is some…
