There’s something underneath the motivations of the film’s screenwriter that just rub me the wrong way. Darren Aronofsky’s newest film, The Whale, based on the 2012 play of the same name has been garnering actors Brendan Frasier and Sadie Sink a considerable amount of deserved praise for their work on…

You probably wouldn’t believe it if I told you that the same guy who made the Jean Shepherd-narrated Christmas movie that plays on repeat every Christmas day, that you’ve probably seen dozens of times at this point, and which was probably shown on the last day of school at many…

2009 was an interesting year. I remember looking back on it, the movie nerd that I was — that I am — thinking at the time that there wasn’t a single movie that I could objectively call “the best.” Obviously, objective best is a farce unto itself, and if you’ve…

Starting with honorable mentions, I’d first like to bring attention to some overlooked films that probably won’t make a ton of top ten or top five lists for this year. So, with that being said, I’d like to say that although the sequel featured perhaps one of the grossest and…

Though none…

I’ll start by saying that, for some unknown reason, this year (2011) was a year in which I missed a lot of movies I usually would’ve watched. And somehow I still haven’t seen a handful of the movies on here, so if you read through this list and the honorable…

“Writing is also a kind of war. The story is what you carry and every time you add to it it gets heavier. All over the world, there are half-finished books because the work got too heavy.” In case you didn’t know, that’s from the Stephen King book, Billy Summers…
