No Time to Die 2021
"James Bond. We both eradicate people to make the world a better place. I just want to be a little tidier."
James Bond has left MI6 and is living off the grid in Jamaica when he agrees to help Felix Leiter and the CIA track down a madman on a mission of revenge against SPECTRE.
This it it, Daniel Craig's (Madeleine) Swann song as 007. This five episode Craig series has been the most unique period of the entire series.…

Spectre 2015
"It was all me, James. It's always been me. The author of all your pain."
Daniel Craig's James Bond must battle an insidious worldwide criminal organization known as SPECTRE (again). Not since the Connery era has it been Bond vs. Blofeld, but this time it's on like Donkey Kong.

The long-awaited story of just what happened to Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi in the period between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope.
To say I was anticipating this would be a massive understatement. George Lucas, bless him, was never going to deep dive into his own saga like this, not unless he was traveling at some George R. R. Martin-speed level. Disney may have stumbled with several of their Star Wars…

The Lighthouse 2019
"Yer fond of me lobster, ain't ye?" 🦐
This movie is a descent into madness, in more ways than one. It looks like Ingmar Bergman's Mutiny on the Bounty but has elements of many other cinematic works of art. It is, however, its own beast, and what a wild and crazy one it is too.
Beautifully filmed in foreboding black and white in some old fashioned boxy aspect ratio, you're suddenly transported right there to the same lighthouse rock. The…
