X-Men 2000
While the OG has its moments, it still feels like a missed opportunity to truly explore all the juicy bits that the X-men had to offer in favor of a Matrix-styled, leather-clad crapshoot.
Casting is spot on thankfully which makes this first X-men film still go down easy, but talk about character underdevelopment especially where Cyclops and Storm are concerned.
Jackman’s still sharp enough to cut through the fat so to speak, but I specifically remember coming out of the theaters disappointed after seeing this in 8th grade and that feeling still hasn’t quite worn off in the 25 years since.

Bound 1996
A rarity if there ever was one, Bound is a lesson in tension, full of classic noir tropes with a sexy lesbian spin and some fantastic acting all around. Tilly, Gershwin and Pantoliano all give some of their best work here while The Wachowski’s debut doesn’t wince. It’s a creative mood with a classic vibe and a little something for the film nerd in all of us.

Bizarre as hell and yet still somehow one of Lanthimos’ most relatable and accessible films, Poor Things is a true wonder.
Beautifully shot and acted with Emma Stone really channeling her inner Frankenstein Barbie as the initially naive and soon undeniably brilliant Bella Baxter, the narrative takes off to such delightfully cheeky, and at times, subhuman territories that I was completely enthralled for the duration.
Dafoe, Youssef and Ruffalo are all well cast and considerably enthralling as the men in Bella’s…
