Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 2023
I didn’t go the full four stars on the first two entries of the Guardians of the Galaxy series. My main reason was I felt that they could reach an even higher level of comic book greatness. James Gunn brought edge, quirk and a good sense of humor to the MCU landscape, and the movies always felt like they were on the cusp of pure melancholy and joy, a feeling that some of the best family dramas convey. Vol. 3…

Air 2023
It’s easy to call a movie like this lame- a basic, inspiring crowd pleaser for the masses, but guess what? The masses need it, and so do you. Yes, that includes film buffs who are so intense that they’ll make a baby cry through sheer eye contact. Ben Affleck directs himself and his brother Matt Damon in this Moneyball-esque, can’t-take-your-eyes-off-it sports drama. What makes this so fun and rewatchable is the banter that is sparked through Jason Bateman and Chris…

The Last Dance 2020
Certainly one of the few highlights of 2020, an infamous year for the history of the world but also media, as major motion picture releases got pushed to a later date and we were stuck with made-for-TV, unmemorable films that all of us who had letterboxd gave way too high of a rating at the time (I’m guilty of this as well). We were so desperate for exciting new movies and shows but it’s safe to say that The Last…

My Girl 1991
Definitely not a comedy. It’s as cute and sweet as many say though, while being much more of a somber family drama than its poster suggests. I mean seriously, this girl had a bit of a tough road, proving that Bridge to Terebithia wasn’t the only devastating kids movie from the 90s/00s. Macaulay Culkin does steal the show here. He steals his own shows as well, as Home Alone, Richie Rich and The Good Son work because of him (props to…

The Green Knight 2021
Unbelievably disappointing. Like many, I had the highest of hopes, as its glorious trailer made it out to be The Lord of the Rings meets Guillermo Del Toro, but I couldn’t have been more painfully wrong if I had tried. I don’t know much about the story it’s adapted from so I can’t comment on how accurate this version is historically or what they changed, all I’m looking at is how it works as a narrative film. Let’s get the only positive…

Spencer 2021
A film I was so desperate to immerse myself in but couldn’t due to elements that should’ve worked in its favor. Spencer’s magical realism was supposed to be a portal into Princess Diana’s psyche, instead it applies fog to the central plot and makes it a story of her losing her marbles (in a way, quite literally) when the strongest parts of the film were her playing with her young sons at the time, Prince William and Prince Harry. Similar to…
