Bringing Out the Dead is a criminally underrated Scorsese film. This is peak Cage, backed by a great stable of character actors in supporting roles. Scorsese captures New York in the way that only he can and all of his beautiful shots are complimented with a kickass soundtrack.

Wolf Man 2025
Wolf Man taps into a father’s greasiest fear: ruining a family vacation by slowly and gruesomely transforming into a snarling wolf beast.

King Kong’s got a high body count with some truly gnarly kills and great jungle action. Unfortunately, you really feel the runtime in places and a lot of it doesn’t look great.

The early world building is rich with details and we're once again reminded how little Weyland Yutani, or "The Company", cares about anything besides its profit margins, despite the constant automated reminders stating otherwise. I could have lived in this world a little while longer so much…

The Wild Robot 2024
I am such a sap these days. Every single emotional beat in The Wild Robot hit me like a sack of bricks. There wasn't at trace of irony to be found, just touching theme after touching theme. This movie goes into the importance of accepting those that are different than you, learning to change beyond what you've initially been programmed or taught, showing kindness, forming community, and celebrating diversity, and much more. It's just loaded with a schwack of nice…
