Break Time Reviews
It’s that time of year again, where Top 10 lists are sweeping the (movie) nation. So I’m here to provide my small addition. There isn’t anything too surprising in my list, but that’s just the reality of it sometimes. But there are several movies that just missed the cut that might qualify as “unexpected”. Turtles […]
Previous Rankings#31-50#11-30 10) Joy Ride A straight comedy in the top 10, you simply love to see it. Funniest movie of the year, with my favorite ensemble cast. Also has a touching, heartfelt story at its center, something you don’t always get with comedies. The Baron Davis cameo is probably my favorite of the year. […]
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 […]
