Best of

I find it fitting that while we find ourselves in the middle of the most unprecedented box office occurrence of the millennium, I settled on three smaller movies for the top spots in April’s best…

Although March was a big month for Disney blockbusters in both Captain Marvel and Dumbo, neither of those films will be discussed here…except for that mention just now. Instead, March 2019 was a month where…

The race to the end of the year in film is extraordinarily hectic. Honestly, I think I’ll be in a state of constant jet lag (without the actual travel) for a solid month from all…

When I remember 2018 in film, I’ll remember a few things: this was a great year for documentaries; world cinema is having a bit of a resurgence; and non-big five studios are creating a majority…

November is an underrated movie month. Thanksgiving sees plenty of blockbusters roll into theaters to take advantage of people being off work and spending time with their families. We also get plenty of Oscar hopefuls…

October is known for horror in the film community. You know it, I know it. But aside from the wonderful, head-stomping return of Michael Myers, by my account, October 2018 will be most remembered for…

September is often thrown aside as an unimportant, uninspired month in the movie calendar, a month caught between the summer movie season and the Oscar push where films often go to die. That’s normally the…

July marked the 20th anniversary of the release of Saving Private Ryan, Steven Spielberg’s World War II Opus. This movie holds a special significance for me because the beach where the opening D-Day landings were…

It seems like every month in 2018 I’ve started these “best of” articles with something to the effect of “hey, this month was pretty great!” That trend continues with July 2018, which shows that everything…

There were a few high-profile movies that didn’t exactly end up becoming overwhelming hits last month — ∗cough∗ Solo ∗cough∗.  Still, May had its moments, and we have a very eclectic group of films to thank for…

While some of the bigger budget films that released in March are better suited for my upcoming article regarding the worst movies of March 2018, there were still plenty of movies that captured the imagination…

We’ve made it to the finals of 80’s Movies March Madness! MovieBabble has created a March Madness-style bracket to determine the best 80’s movies with the release of Ready Player One this past month to determine which film best encapsulates…

Penitentiaries are often great settings for dramas and action films; characters are forced in a place where they don’t want to be, frequently fighting their way through the food chain of murderers and sadists in…

Science fiction gives viewers the ability to make an escape from the real world, but more importantly it has the power to reveal something about the real world that we would have never considered before.…

February 2018 was a very solid month for film, pumping out singular movies that should create discussion well past their opening weekends.  From massive blockbusters to tiny animation films, variety won out, allowing for everyone…

Music is one of the most integral components of a film. A well-made film score can set the mood, foreshadow, further narrative action and plot, and even engage the audience. One of the best parts…

There are good movies, and there are amazing performances by actors; however, when the two don’t coexist, it complicates matters. Such is the case with the extensive filmography of one Mr. Adrien Brody: he has…

Hollywood has always had a fascination with the process of making films, highlighting what it can do to the human psyche and all the absurdity that goes into making a celebrated work of art.  Movies…

In one of the most shocking twists of recent memory, January 2018 wasn’t a terrible month for film.  It certainly wasn’t great, but this January was definitely better than recent years.  Below are the best…

War has a knack for offering a visceral impact on the big screen.  War movies can provide massively scaled fights on a battlefield or merely look into the psyche of a human and the effect…

2017 was full of wonderful movies that entertained, challenged, and maybe even frustrated to a degree.  In total, I saw 115 new releases in 2017, making for a ton of choices to choose as the…

How does one begin a list of the Top 10 Star Wars Moments?  Perhaps with what started it all.  In 1971, a young George Lucas released his first feature film, THX 1138.  A dystopian vision…

October had some interesting developments, including a big step forward for Netflix’s original programming.  While there was still a lot of sludge to sift through, that topic is better for another article altogether.  Instead, let’s…

With Blade Runner 2049 coming out this weekend, it’s a perfect time to take a look back at Harrison Ford‘s filmography and see which of his films stand out as some of the best.  This will be…

After the graveyard that was August, September added some much needed juice to the movie industry.  Filled with demonic clowns, drugs, and assassins, there was certainly plenty of films to choose from for the best…

After a lackluster start to the summer movie season in May, June has seemingly put a shot of adrenaline into the busiest time of the year for moviegoers.  Filled with superheroes defeating baddies, suave criminals…

Many would exclaim that we are currently in the “golden age” of superhero movies with multiple high profile films coming out every single year.  That being said, there’s been plenty of great superhero movies over…
