For a long time I've considered the 1970s to be the best decade in film history, and I thought it'd be a lot of fun to compile a personal Top 50 list and share it here! Of course, it was difficult to leave out many other great movies that I've seen …

I’m not super bothered by Bond not smoking anymore, but I really don’t think his alcoholism is much “less bad.” I guess it’s just the fact that much of society still thinks drinking is cool and “in” while smoking isn’t, and the movies reflect the ti…

The Faculty (1998). I saw bits of the ending of the movie a long time ago when I was too young for it, and just now finally rediscovered it and watched it in full. This movie is like a hybrid of John Carpenter’s The Thing and Wes Craven’s Scream. It…

Cultural snob. He already still drinks too much, so substance abuse is still sufficiently covered I'd argue. I like his expansive knowledge of things like fine dining, and wouldn't mind seeing him flex that again.

I’m sure many of you have already heard about Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker spouting his prejudice, including calling diversity “tyranny,” calling Pride Month deadly sin, and acting like he knows what’s best for women by encouraging them…

Count me in the opposite camp. Mars Attacks was Burton’s first misfire for me, while Mrs. Doubtfire is still one of my favorite comedy films.

I don’t know if anyone is even thinking / caring about NTTD right now, or really has been for a couple years now. Whenever I hear James Bond brought up in day to day, non-cyber life, I don’t really see it singled out these days for better or for wor…

Bound (1996). Wow, this was a masterclass in suspense and thrills, I really loved this intense picture. Excellent cast, story, and escalation. Extra points for a very artistically fitting title, too!

Alright, time for a Ghostbusters ranking with all five films having been watched. 1. Ghostbusters (1984) Yeah, I know. Literally the most predictable ranking spot you can get on any list ever, but it is what it is. The original Ghostbuster…

I’m more interested in seeing civilians as allies, as I think it allows for more unique characterizations and contrasts from Bond. There’s no reason a female ally can’t be somewhere in between being at least as capable as Bond and a damsel in distre…

Classic example of too little too late for the Canucks. They played a terrible first two periods. My rooting team’s officially out - but my actual pick of Florida remains.

Using the Criterion Collection’s 4K Disc page for ideas to watch and potentially collect, I’ve been watching many awesome, artsy films lately, including Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975), The Piano (1993), and The Trial (1962). Really love these slower,…

Very happy with recent results, now we’re guaranteed a pretty fresh new winner.

To Die For (1995). This was a super good film I had been interested in seeing for some time - great characters and great acting, and a very cathartic finale. Ever relevant, too!

Literally probably my second favorite character in the series after John, so I’m excited.

My car insurance rates with the same company have gone hiking up too far, with them now wanting more than a hundred extra dollars from my already overly expensive last monthly payment figure. I decided enough was enough and to switch, and sure enoug…

Young, absolutely. My ideal direction for the next era is something akin to Matt Reeves's The Batman, as far as having the protagonist early in his career but not origin level.

Yeah, LOTR has gotten way too milked as far as I’m concerned. The original trilogy is all I really care about at this point myself. I enjoyed the Hobbit movies well enough - the first two, anyway - when they were released, but have no desire to revi…
