Review #17: Nocturnal Animals

Today’s review is for Tom Ford’s newest film, Nocturnal Animals. I struggle to really wrap my head around it, but ultimately end up with a somewhat competent review that’s entirely spoiler-free.

Review #16: Miss Sloane

With a weekend full of new prestige films, here’s the first of three reviews for films I’ve been highly anticipating. Will Miss Sloane be the the top of the mountain, or merely the first step on the way to the summit? Also, there’s a new segue transition for spoiler sections! It’s not great, so hopefully a new musical will come out to provide me with a better sample to use instead.

RetroReview #2: Steven Spielberg

I’ve seen 28 Spielberg films and I’m gonna go through every single one of them from top to bottom. Where will your favorites end up on the list? How obvious is it that I really don’t remember some of these films? Today’s episode is the longest yet, but there’s plenty to talk about in the catalog of one of the greatest directors of all time.

Review #15: Rules Don’t Apply

After 15 years, Warren Beatty returns to the big screen with his newest directorial effort, Rules Don’t Apply. Is it a success? How many times do I find myself off topic? Check out today’s episode to find out!

Review #14: Sing

Through a special free preview through AMC this weekend, I got to see Sing almost a month early! Here’s my spoiler-free take on the new Illumination Animated film.

Review #13: Allied & Loving

First, I give my take on the new Brad Pitt/Marion Cotillard WWII drama, then we move over to Jeff Nichols’ new film, Loving.

Loving Review: 14:56

Review #12: Moana

The newest Disney “Princess” film featuring Dwayne Johnson is out and today I’ll be talking about it, it’s relation to Zootopia from earlier this year and other Disney films, as well as the music. Getting this one out a little late today, but I hope everyone in the US had a great Thanksgiving!

Review #11: Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk/Bleed for This

Today’s review episode covers two films I watched over the weekend. Ang Lee’s new PTSD/War film opens the episode. But you can skip ahead to ~24:13 if you’re only interested in Bleed for This.

RetroReview #1

The first RetroReview episode! Today I shine a light on a handful of films I’ve seen recently that came out before 2000.

  • Legends of the Fall
  • Bugsy
  • Kes
  • Starman
  • Kiss Me Deadly

Review #10: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

Another big blockbuster is out this weekend and I’ve got an opinion. I explore Fantastic Beasts from my nostalgic, Harry Potter-loving, childhood perspective. There’s plenty of good and plenty of bad to go around.

Review #9: The Edge of Seventeen

Today’s review focuses on the new James L. Brooks film, The Edge of Seventeen, starring Hailee Steinfeld! Spoiler: I liked it.

Review #8: Arrival

I break down Arrival, and I kind of break down a little bit myself, too. There’s a brief spoiler-free section, but the majority of the episode is spoiler-heavy (which I say, so fear not about being surprised by things).
