    The Treasure of the Sierra Madre

    ★★★★

    (The Average Joe’s Movie Club Cast)

    Ole Bogie is devilishly delightful as a money-starved roughneck, who is quick to be suspicious but is the one you really need to keep an eye on once the gold begins to flow.

    "Ah, as long as there's no find, the noble brotherhood will last but when the piles of gold begin to grow... that's when the trouble starts."

    There is nothing like a hardy John Huston adventure film to refuel your love of…

    (The Average Joe’s Movie Club Cast)

    Had a bit of a different takeaway on my third watch of Kevin Smith's debut indy darling.

    "nobody twisted your arm to be here today. You're here of your own volition. You like to think the weight of the world rests on your shoulders. Like this place would fall apart if Dante wasn't here. Jesus, you overcompensate for having what's basically a monkey's job. You push fucking buttons. Anybody can waltz in here and…

    Million Dollar Baby

    ★★★★

    Not every American dream underdog story has a happy ending.

    "She's tough, I can't go inside, I can't get close enough to hit her ... You know why that is? .... Why? ... Cause she's a better fighter than you are, that's why. She's younger, she's stronger, and she's more experienced. Now, what are you gonna do about it?"

    It makes sense that Million Dollar Baby would be the final Best Picture winner for me to revisit and review ...…

    Captain America: Civil War

    ★★★★

    A pivotal moment of the MCU that continues to grow on me.

    "Vengeance has consumed you. It's consuming them. I'm done letting it consume me ... Justice will come soon enough ... Tell that to the dead."

    I am the kind of MCU fan that was bummed that Zemo was not much of a super villian when this came out, but in turn I now see how that allows this movie to be so unique, by The Avengers being put…

    Ghostbusters: Afterlife

    ★★★★

    (RIP Harold Ramis: 1944 - 2014)

    Dusting off those old Proton Packs to honor the past, and look to the future.

    "I will always be a Ghostbuster."

    I did not come into Ghostbusters: Afterlife with any expectations, and as a long-time fan of the franchise it was so exciting to see the story continued like this. The movie takes us out to the middle of nowhere where Egon Spengler was preparing for the final stage of Gozer's
    apocalypse. But when…

    Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

    ★★★★½

    An all new Spiderman comes into his own as Marvel and Sony unleash the Spider-Verse!

    "Wow, that is one hardcore origin story kid."

    The dazzling pages of a comic book come to life in this highly unique and imaginative animated film. For so long I have wanted to see a Spiderman movie that was not handcuffed to the constraints of a simple hero story and one or two villains. And Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse delivers that and much more as…
