Break Time Reviews
Here we go, one of my favorite articles to write each year! I love the Oscars and – maybe even more so – I love betting on the Oscars. As I say every year, betting on the Oscars is tricky. Often times, several categories have such heavy favorites going into Oscar night that it doesn’t […]
Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre is the latest entry into the Guy Ritchie-verse. For those that know the director, you know exactly what that means. And for the uninitiated, it means you’re getting a stylish, witty, action comedy that often favors that style over substance. When done well, his movies can be immensely entertaining, with […]
And just like that, we’re back for a new Survivor season! And…it starts off cold. As soon as the 18 new castaways hit the beach, Jeff starts talking about Survivor. But talking about it in the sense of explaining how the game works, broad strokes type things. Sure, we have a two hour premiere, but […]
The MCU has been *ahem* a marvel to witness (I’m sorry). Watching it grow from Iron Man into the incredible culmination a decade later with Avengers: Endgame was truly something special. One of the bigger, nagging issues, though, was the constant tie-ins to future projects, teasing new heroes and villains, hints of storylines to come […]
The For Dummies book series has provided easy to follow steps for anyone to learn about any number of topics for three decades. Some might deride the books – and those who use them – due to the chosen. But I’m sure they’ve proven immensely helpful for countless people. At Midnight feels like someone had […]
It’s a story we’ve seen a thousand times. Longtime friends who are seemingly perfect for each other can never make it work as more than friends. For one reason or another, they always just miss each other. It’s the basis for countless romantic comedies. And like the rom-com genre in general, it’s a tried and […]
And here we are, the top 10! Appreciate anyone who stuck around for the full countdown (but if you just waited for this one, can’t really blame you there). There’s a wide variety of types of movies here, and I love that so much. Let’s jump in! Previous Rankings#171-183#151-170#131-150#111-130#91-110#71-90#51-70#31-50#11-30 EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE lives […]
Previous Rankings#171-183#151-170#131-150#111-130#91-110#71-90#51-70#31-50 Nicolas Cage and Pedro Pascal are perfect together in THE UNBEARABLE WEIGHT OF MASSIVE TALENT (review), one of the year’s funniest movies. An ending you can see coming a mile away doesn’t detract at all from how much fun the rest of the movie is. Oh my goodness I loved BARBARIAN (review) so […]
Previous Rankings#171-183#151-170#131-150#111-130#91-110#71-90#51-70 SEE HOW THEY RUN (review) is a fun murder mystery, effectively trading in on the self-aware trend going around. Sam Rockwell and Saoirse Ronan are terrific in the leads (like you’d expect anything else). We all knew Jenny Slate and Charlie Day were comedic forces, but I WANT YOU BACK gives them a […]
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 […]
