The Prince of Egypt 1998
This kind of reminds me of when I watched The Ten Commandments as my first film of the year for 2023. It’s almost like I wanted this to happen.
I honestly have no idea why this wasn’t seen by me as a child, as it would’ve easily been one of my favorites. Yes, there are some artistic liberties taken that make it less than completely accurate to how it actually happened. But that’s expected with a biblical adaptation. The visuals…

Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story 2024
One of my earliest film memories was watching Superman 2 at my great grandparents house on their old tv. I didn’t get to go down to see them much since they lived so far away from us, but once every year or two we make the trip down there to see them. I specifically remember Superman fighting Zod in the fortress of solitude and having my great grandfather having some commentary on the fight.
Later on, I’d discover the first…

The Alphabet 1969
I’m genuinely surprised I didn’t get a nightmare after watching this. It feels like the kind of film that would give me one in my adulthood and even more as a kid.
Well done David Lynch.

The Substance 2024
With this being the only film I rewatched prior to the Oscars, my opinion still stands that this is one of the better inclusions this year in my opinion. It’s not often that a horror film makes it into consideration, so when they’re good, we need to give it to them.
And since I’m writing this after the ceremony, I think that it means more to Mikey Madison’s career than it does for Demi’s. That might be a hot take,…

Oppenheimer 2023
Oppenheimer is brilliant.
I’m writing this a week after seeing it because I’ve been letting it marinate and consume my thoughts. It’s thrilling and at times terrifying. It’s very heavy and should be taken seriously. And I think Nolan was the perfect choice to bring it to audiences on the big screen.
I did see this in true 70mm IMAX, which is actually my first time seeing an IMAX movie outside of nature documentaries. Every single seat in that theater…

Elvis 2022
Austin Butler gets all the credit here. Bad Luhrmann gets some, but Austin Butler gets everything else. I think he should get as much consideration at the Oscars for this performance as Rami Malek did for Freddie Mercury and as much as Taron Egerton should’ve got for Elton John.
Baz Luhrmann really came back to filmmaking with full force for one of the better Elvis biopics in my opinion. It goes deeper than anything else into his major influences for…
