    A truly fantastic thriller of the highest degree, and a true return to form for Shyamalan. Anya Taylor-Joy does a fantastic job as Casey Cook; but James McAvoy totally and completely steals the show. His ability to completely shift roles and personalities in the span of seconds is scary, and completely sets the tone of the film, and his pure physicality defines the characters near the end. A wonderful film worth watching.
    P.S. Watch Unbreakable first.

    Damien Chazelle is a master of the third act. Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling both do a fantastic job as Mia and Seb, with their chemistry boiling over throughout the film. With beautiful cinematography, music and a story about what it means to follow your dreams, he sets up a wonderfully crafted movie that is definitely worth your time.

    Oldboy is not a movie. Oldboy is an experience. Oldboy is a tale of revenge. Oldboy is a gruesome and disgusting look on how horrifying humanity can be. Oldboy should be watched exactly once. Oldboy is one of the most unique and shocking sequences of images ever put to film. Oldboy is a modern classic.

    I watch It's a Wonderful Life every year with my family for a singular reason. It truly is a wonderful life, and this movie captures that. It's a beautiful movie about Angels, Choices, and the will to never give in. There is always something more around the corner. Next Christmas, sit down and watch this film, and truly understand that It's a Wonderful Life.
