100% my personal opinion. Very subjective, and only films that I have finished viewing as of the time of this writing. It has been an incredible year for movies. This year I really committed to seeing as many as I could feasibly do, sometimes seeing a film once a week for a month. I got …
Oscars
Who's taking a trophy of a naked man home? It's that time again, where people who make WAY more money than you gather in a room to talk about what they could do to help and how much they love their family after getting an award. It started in 1927 with the very first Best …
Little Women Review
Released: December 25, 2019. Directed by: Greta Gerwig It should be said from the beginning that I have not read the book this is based on. Going into this I was blind and had almost no expectations. Keyword being "almost" for I had only expected a well told story of sisterly love and some hardship. …
1917 Review
Release: (Limited) December 4, 2019 (Wide) January 10, 2019 Director: Sam Mendes This is a very interesting film, a war movie that releases in 2019 but doesn't get a wide release until the second week of 2020. Conversations around the release of this was more or less "Oh, it's another war movie with a twist" …
The Rise of Skywalker Review
Release: 2019 Director: J.J Abrams All right, I'll talk about it. I saw this on opening night, as is tradition, but coming up with what to say has been hard. I remember coming out of The Last Jedi, as I do with many films, raving about it and saying how much I loved it. It …

Parasite Review
Release: 2019 Director: Joon-ho Bong I have been waiting eagerly for this film to come out ever since I saw the first trailer. Seriously, go watch it right now, just "Parasite trailer" and try to explain the plot from that. You really can't, it starts in one way and ends on a completely different tone. …
Doctor Sleep Review
Release: 2019. Director: Mike Flanagan Full disclosure, I love this movie. I think it is a shame that it has done so poorly at the box office thus far ($15m in its first weekend) and you as a reader should go see it. Granted it won't be for everyone, for reasons that I will get …
Halloween (1978) Review
Directed By: John Carpenter Released: October 27, 1978 Happy Halloween! In the spirit of this spooky holiday, it's only right to talk about my second favorite horror movie. It would be 1st if John Carpenter hadn't made The Thing. I love Halloween (1978) so much. It inspired an entire genre of slashers after. Halloween created …

Release: 2019 Director: Ruben Fleischer Do you have a favorite pair of pajamas that you put on before you go to sleep? Or maybe just some sweatpants you throw on after work when you get home. Your favorite chair you can rest in and turn on your favorite television show to wind down and really …
