  • The Revenant

    Yeah, I’m ridiculously late to the party in terms of this film, which is surprising since it’s a genre I love (I mean, it is sort of a western, although the “survival” nature really takes over). The movie did in fact blow me away, and has some of the most amazing and mesmerizing shots I’ve…

  • Hostiles

    This is a fantastic movie — in fact, if I’d watched it last year, it would have been included in my year-end top 5 list. As I’ve written many times, I love westerns (it’s one of my favorite movie genres) and getting a really good new one is relatively rare. For all its brutality, this…

  • Black Panther

    What is there to say about this that hasn’t been said already. Yes, it’s incredibly entertaining, incredibly well made, and quite possibly the best Marvel film so far (at least that’s how I feel). I didn’t think it could live up to the hype, but I found myself enjoying it immensely from start to finish,…

By the director of Gattaca, it feels stylish in that same way, and has an interesting premise — our eyes…

  • Cobra Kai

    When I first saw this series announced, I was more than skeptical about it being good — especially that’s it’s a YouTube series — but I was curious enough to check it out, and I gotta say that the first two episodes (that you can watch for free) were incredibly fun to watch. Yes, it…

  • Coogan’s Bluff

    —

    This was not at all what I thought it would be. I was expecting a modern western, and instead it’s a comedy about a marshal from Arizona experiencing the big city of New York. It’s an awful movie, really, although I think I’m glad I watched it for the sequence in the night club —…

  • Where Eagles Dare

    —

    I was expecting to really be into this — it’s definitely a setting I love, with a crack commando unit of WW2 soldiers infiltrating a castle full of Nazis (sorta like a mission from the game Commandos). And I did like a bunch of it, but it just felt too long, and I found myself…
