There are those types of movies that just shake you to your core. Movies that not only deliver an exhilarating cinematic experience but also give you a whole new perspective on life. Movies that advance the craft of filmmaking in ways that are damn-near impossible to imagine. Movies that can inspire a whole new generation of film lovers and filmmakers. Some movies that come to mind that gave me this feeling include Soul, Parasite, Get Out, and Mad Max: Fury…

West Side Story 2021
Ay Dios mío, where to begin....
Okay, so before I let myself go crazy, let's start with the good.
Janusz Kamiński's cinematography is truly ravishing. Every frame oozes vibrant color and kinetic energy. That, combined with the stunning choreography that lives up to the high bar of the 1961 original, make for some dazzling sights. "The Dance at the Gym" and "America" are the most significant standouts.
The ensemble overall, with one notable exception, deliver strong performances. David Alvarez, Rita…

After the first solo Wolverine film being one of the worst superhero films ever made and the second film being moderately entertaining at best, I am beyond ecstatic with how much I loved "Logan." It's a bold, risk-taking superhero film with high stakes, real consequences, and genuine character drama. Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart give the best performances they've ever given in these roles and James Mangold fulfills the promise of delivering the hard-R rated, violent Wolverine film that fans have wanted for so long. This is the best superhero film I've seen in a long time.

Vice 2018
The biting screenplay and direction from Adam McKay, energetic editing, and a transformative yet nuanced performance by Christian Bale all help make Vice a rock solid blend of meta-humor and sharp political commentary. It's a film that brings substantial context to its own time period as well as relates to today's political climate
