2021 was a weird year, perhaps even weirder than 2020, but it gave us a pretty solid slate of films. While the amount of “great” movies was less than in previous years, I think we were blessed with more than our fair share of very good films, as well as only a handful of titles… Continue reading Top 10 Best Films of 2021
2020 was rough for a lot of reasons, including the lack of theaters, but luckily the quality of films did not seem to be affected. There were a lot of solid movies in contrast to only a few stinkers, as well as what I think are two of the better movies we’ve gotten in recent… Continue reading Top 10 Best Films of 2020
I recently wrote about the biggest box office bombs in the history of the summer movie season, so I think it is only fair and just to talk about something positive in relation to the topic. So my friend suggested that I breakdown the most iconic and influential films when it comes to the summer… Continue reading History of the Summer Blockbuster
Since 2020 will have an (at best) abridged summer movie season, and blockbusters typically go hand-in-hand with this time of year, I thought it would be fun to do a list of the biggest bombs in the history of Hollywood’s biggest season. For this list, I will be exposing the biggest money losers released between… Continue reading Biggest Summer Box Office Flops of All-Time
2019 was a very solid year for movies, and this awards season has (for the most part) been an improvement and redemption for the absolute dumpster fire that was last year (in any other awards year Rami Malek winning Best Actor for his SNL performance would have been a travesty; last year it was just… Continue reading 92nd Academy Awards Predictions: Who Will, Could, and Should Win
If you’re like me, you’re fascinated not only with movies but with the box office.

Not that I wish harm on any film, making movies is… Continue reading Biggest Box Office Bombs of 2020
As the saying goes, sometimes in order to get to Heaven you gotta go through Hell. And while 2019 was a great year for films, it also had some stinkers, snoozes and sloppy messes. While sitting through bad films can be a chore, talking about them is often amusing. So let’s talk about the worst… Continue reading Top 10 Worst Films of 2019
After a somewhat lackluster 2018, this past year was a great year for movies. We got the ending of an era in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the reunion of gangster legends and great strides for new and diverse talent in front of and behind the camera. I had a hard time cutting my list down… Continue reading Top 10 Best Films of 2019
Crazy to think that we’re in the final weeks of a decade; we’ve still got 2019’s top films to discuss as well as awards season to stress over. This decade was big not only for me, as it was when I fully started going to, tracking and reviewing films (officially starting with “Scream 4” in… Continue reading 25 Best Films of the 2010s
We’re officially more than six months into 2019 and it’s time to recap what has happened so far in the world of cinema. While we haven’t seen many great films, there are plenty of solid ones and guilty-pleasures, and a surprisingly few amount of (complete) stinkers. So without further adu, here is how my 2019… Continue reading The Best (and Worst) of 2019 Movies So Far
