Break Time Reviews
Well folks, it’s that time again. The Oscars are right around the corner, so let’s take a little gander at what’s to come on Hollywood’s biggest night. As usual, I’ve got predictions, my personal picks, and of course some gambling tidbits. The gambling part is the most fun piece of this for me. Quick, simplified […]
Oh baby, oh baby, Survivor premiere night! Coming on the heels of the best new era season yet, expectations are high for season 46. Well, high relatively speaking I guess. Survivor has definitely changed and evolved in the 40s. And not necessarily for the better. Not the time to get into all that (again), but […]
It’s safe to say 2024 is off to an abysmal start, at least as far as movies are concerned. With Argylle and Madame Web, we already have what will surely be two of 2024’s worst. To be fair, you aren’t expecting greatness this early in the year. But it feels unusually bad. We need a […]
Every so often, a movie comes along that knocks you off your feet. It hits you in your soul and you can’t stop thinking about it for days or weeks on end. Usually, that’s because it’s so good, so powerful or impactful, maybe makes you see the world with a whole new viewpoint. However, sometimes […]
Heist movies are my jam. Ocean’s Eleven is my all-time favorite movie. I love The Italian Job, Inside Man, The Town, Ambulance, the list goes on. The genre allows for all sorts of fun. A heist movie can be a comedy, a gritty crime thriller, and everything in between. The one thing a (well made) […]
Everyone has those movies that they are predisposed to like. You see a trailer or two, and you know you’re on board. Schlocky Jason Statham-action movies fit that bill exactly for me. Watching the man kick butt for 90 minutes or so inside of a ridiculous plot is right up my alley. And The Beekeeper, […]
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 […]
The initial teaser trailer for Anyone But You was, in a word, baffling. There was no romance or comedy shown for the Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney-starring romantic comedy. It was so confusing and poorly received that director Will Gluck even ended up commenting on it: “I blame myself,” the co-writer and director says. “The […]
