Previous Rankings#31-50 Keeping it moving with the 2023 rankings. Some real gems in here. What a great year for movies this was. Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret. tells a near-perfect coming-of-age story, capturing all the complicated feelings and emotions that come with growing up. Having a young actor lead a movie can be […]

Well, it’s that time of year again. I’m going to change things up a bit here, though. Usually I do small write-ups covering every movie from the given year. But now that just seems like too much now. So I’m going to knock it down to the top 50. Maybe that’s still too much, 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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
