Longlegs 2024
Long Legs feels like the movie Se7en set in the world of the TV show Medium. Although it clearly takes inspiration from other visual media, this movie is a thriller that will make your skin crawl and be an engaging watch. This movie's storytelling not only shines through its writing, but also especially through its visual storytelling and camerawork. Nicolas Cage shines in this movie and horror is a rather fitting genre for an actor who is criticized for screaming…

"We gotta let Olive be Olive"
Before a single line of dialogue this movie had me tearing up in the opening credits. This family is so messy but so real. This movie is an exemplar for how to write a film well.

Argylle 2024

Conclave 2024
One of the best movies that I have seen in a long time. Conclave is an honest and soul-stirring tale of the search for certainty and direction in the midst of turmoil and human imperfection. Conclave brings a sense of existentialism, wonder, and mystery through its well-written dialogue and stellar performances. Despite being a movie set in the midst of a Catholic faith setting, the themes of power, succession, doubt, and differences of ideology are things that relatable to all people of all faith traditions because these are ultimately universal human struggles.

Vengeance 2022
As someone born and raised in Texas, I was pleasantly surprised about how Vengeance is such an intelligent movie that rather accurately portrays Texas and all the nuance that the Lone Star State holds. There are a lot of subplots and directions within this movie; however, what ultimately ties the bow to this beautiful gift of cinema is the common theme of how we often assume that we know people before we dig deeper and find out who they truly…
