Previous Rankings#171-183#151-170#131-150#111-130#91-110#71-90 Jon Hamm has seemingly struggled to find his footing post-Mad Men. But I think comedy is what he should focus on. He’s terrific in CONFESS, FLETCH, and I would love to see him make a couple more of these. Millie Bobby Brown is once again awesome in ENOLA HOLMES 2, another super fun […]

2022 Movie Rankings, #71-90
Previous Rankings#171-183#151-170#131-150#111-130#91-110 SPIRITED doesn’t add much to one of the most famous Christmas stories of all time, but it’s made with so much energy and charm that you won’t care. Gorgeous animation does a lot of the lifting in MY FATHER’S DRAGON. VENGEANCE has some impressive wit and sharp commentary, but could have been more […]

Previous Rankings#171-183#151-170#131-150#111-130 UNCHARTED (review) often feels just like any other treasure hunting adventure type movie, but that genre is exactly my bag, so I’m in. Samara Weaving and Eugenio Derbez have solid chemistry in THE VALET (review) a standard-issue rom-com. DAY SHIFT is a quintessential Netflix movie. Big name name cast, a few moments where […]
2022 Movie Rankings, #111-130
Previous Rankings#171-183#151-170#131-150 WINDFALL is a pretty simple movie, but a killer trio of Jason Segel, Lily Collins, and Jesse Plemons do some heavy lifting to keep it afloat. I actually enjoyed FANTASTIC BEASTS: THE SECRETS OF DUMBLEDORE (review). There were some flashes of the magic that made the original series so good. If we get […]
2022 Movie Rankings, #131-150
Previous Rankings#171-183#151-170 THE RETALIATORS has some fun revenge-thriller aspects, but it never fully comes together. Thought A CHRISTMAS STORY CHRISTMAS would be awful, so the fact that it’s average is a big win. Very similar feel to the original, and has some genuinely fun moments. BLACK ADAM (review) took Dwayne Johnson, one of the most […]
2022 Movie Rankings, #151-170
Previous Rankings#171-183 MEET CUTE has some moments, thanks to Kaley Cuoco and Pete Davidson’s charm. But it’s repetitive and ultimately a little uncomfortable. BARDO wins this year’s Fuck This Movie award. Some good performances in MOTHERING SUNDAY, but not much else. Adrien Brody is pretty good in CLEAN, but it’s remarkably boring for a supposed […]
2022 Movie Rankings, #171-183
Okay, here we go, it’s movie ranking time! I’ve seen some takes online talking about how this wasn’t a great year for film, or that “it was fine, but it doesn’t compare to (insert any arbitrary year here).” And to that I say, “Touch grass.” It’s a lazy comment. Either your standards and expectations are […]
PLANE Review
Plane is the perfect January movie. Everyone is still coming down from the busy holiday season, and now awards season is starting to take off. We’re not looking for the next Oscar contender just yet. All we need is something easy and palatable. Something to provide some fun thrills in a reasonable runtime. And Plane […]
