Despite the several stellar films we got last year, 2020 was still undoubtedly a tough year for movies. The film world still saw its fair share of turbulence in 2021, but it is fair to…

On this week’s episode of the MovieBabble Podcast I am joined by Nick, Collin, and Jonathan as we get excited for the year to come and all things film in 2022.  We offer up our…

Red Notice is an action-comedy starring Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds, and Gal Gadot — three people whose movies I generally avoid. Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson might have definite star power but he has a track…

I have to admit that before I started watching this documentary, I hardly had any knowledge of Bob Ross. I am still amazed by how successful this man was: the artist who taught millions of…

The romantic comedy is always interesting. As one of the most popular and referenced genres in film, it feels like every avenue has been explored and subverted. Ultimately, this led to a lull in good…

I love a good romance. The first spark of something, the quickening heartbeat of the growing attraction, the crescendo when the couple comes together, and the happy moment when they walk off into the sunset.…

Lin-Manuel Miranda can write an earworm for the ages, as anyone who has had the Hamilton soundtrack lodged in their head for weeks, can attest to. In Vivo, music and in particular, the musical culture…

Three movies released wide in theaters this weekend. First was Free Guy, the Ryan Reynolds vehicle which finally opened after approximately 57 delays. Then there was Respect, the Jennifer-Hudson-led biopic on Aretha Franklin’s life and career which…

You would imagine a holiday in Europe to be serene, joyful even, especially when said holiday happens in Greece. Your mind would go to the ecstatic bliss of song and dance in the Mamma Mia!…

Powered by JustWatch How many LGBTQ lives have been completely shattered and irrevocably hurt in the name of God? What is the state of mind of the individuals who level that destruction upon those lives?…

Coming off Fear Street Part One: 1994 — a nostalgic 90s-style teen slasher and a fabulously fun entry into the genre in its own right — I was concerned that the follow-up sequels in the trilogy…

If you know a thing or two about horror movies, you are probably aware that the heydays of Italian horror are long over. Instead of coming up with something original, directors Roberto de Feo (also…

Stop me if you’ve seen this one before: a highly-skilled assassin working for a shadowy organization gets betrayed by their employers and is hunted down; said assassin, though merciless if need be, becomes emotionally attached…

Teen slasher flicks — we all know how they work. The kids are horny (unless you’re the bullied virgin), the night is dark and full of terrors, and the blood is fire engine red. Wash,…

Netflix is home to far too many crime documentaries, especially about murder, so you might be tempted to skip this one. However, that would be a shame. After all, Murder by the Coast isn’t a…

Spiral led a crowded(!) weekend at theaters, but despite Chris Rock’s best efforts, the film isn’t anywhere close to a good entrant in the Saw franchise. Similarly, Netflix’s The Woman in the Window is a…

Yes, the 2021 Oscars may have only happened three weeks ago, but we just can’t get enough! Between new Paul Thomas Anderson content, Guillermo del Toro and Chloé Zhao’s Best Picture follow-ups, and the return…

Are movie theaters back?!?! Godzilla vs. Kong has dominated around the world at the box office thus far, grossing almost as much as Godzilla: King of the Monsters did in its entire theatrical run in only…

High school movies are a dime a dozen. Though the specific narrative, characters, and details will vary, the genre, for the most part, is pretty cookie-cutter. The new Netflix film, Moxie (based on the book…

The third installment in the To All the Boys canon follows Lara Jean (Lana Condor) and Peter (Noah Centineo) as they prepare for their post-high school future at Stanford together. Everything is neatly scheduled, including the…

On this week’s episode of the Road to the 2021 Oscars, Nick and I go over the Critics Choice Nominations and the recently unveiled Oscars shortlists.  Minari is surging, Birds of Prey landed with a few…

When we think of archeology, we think of exotic locales, hordes of ancient buried treasures, and danger coming from the locals who are not pleased by the sudden appearance of strangers. But in reality, it…

So many thoughts run through my head when I’m watching a truly terrible movie: Why am I here? Why do I like inflicting pain on myself? Do I secretly like it? Why didn’t I spend…

Pieces of a Woman is Kornél Mundruczó’s first full feature in English. The acclaimed Hungarian director teamed up with big names such as Vanessa’s Kirby, Shia LaBeouf, and Ellen Burstyn, and the movie chronicles the consequences of…

Pieces of a Woman has arrived as Netflix’s first big 2021 release. Amid troubles surrounding Shia LaBeouf, the film debuted in the #2 Spot on Netflix’s Top Ten List. Falling short of We Can Be Heroes,…

2020 was a year that seems will always be remembered as an absolute hellscape; between a tumultuous election year, a widespread pandemic, and economic pressures on a global scale, the world felt as if it…

2020 is mercilessly over, but before we close the book entirely on the very, very hellish year, Collin, Brennan, and I look back on the year that was in movies. But instead of doing the…

For all the movies that have been pushed back this year, Christmas Day felt like a return to normalcy with releases such as Wonder Woman 1984, Soul, The Midnight Sky, Promising Young Woman, and We Can…

Every year, a day after the Oscars ceremony, I start writing an article about the awards for the following year. This year was no exception. Of the movies that I predicted to be nominated, some were…

Citizen Kane. Decent flick. Odds are you were forced to study it endlessly in your Intro to Film course in college — it’s second only to Breathless among the films you were most likely to hate…
