  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  “This mission of yours is going to cost you… dearly.” 🏆

  Best Performance: Tom Cruise
  Best Scene: Orient Express
  Best Character: Ethan Hunt
  Best Aspect: Action

  My most anticipated film of the year — Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One — is finally here and I can’t say I’m disappointed. This is another top-tier outing that contributes to the greatest action franchise of all-time. Tom Cruise and Christopher McQuarrie are absolutely white-hot with creativity, crafting another set of electrifying…

  Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse 2023

  ★★★★½ Rewatched 06 Jun 2023 7

  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  “Being Spider-man is a sacrifice. You have a choice between saving one person and saving every world.” 🏆

  Best Performance: Hailee Steinfeld
  Best Scene: Spider Chase
  Best Character: Miles Morales
  Best Aspect: Animation

  Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is a monumental success in animation. The visuals are astounding, like nothing anybody has ever attempted or been able to reach previously. And as of right now, this is the best animation ever put to screen.

  Killer Joe 2011

  ★★★½ Watched 08 Sep 2023

  “This is lovely. Now, who would like to say grace?” 👍🏼

  Best Performance: Matthew McConaughey
  Best Scene: Dinner
  Best Character: Killer Joe Cooper
  Best Aspect: Acting

  Killer Joe is so crazy, it is practically certifiable. This film will not be for everyone, but whenever a narrative surrounds a family plotting to kill one of their members, things always go awry and things always entertain. However, when Matthew McConaughey is thrown in as a psychopath cop that moonlights as a hitman,…

  The Lego Movie 2014

  ★★★★ Rewatched 21 Sep 2023 9

  “Everything is awesome!” ✅

  Best Performance: Chris Pratt
  Best Scene: Old West
  Best Character: Emmett Brickowski
  Best Aspect: Writing 

  The Lego Movie has an infectious energy running throughout its entire runtime. Phil Lord and Christopher Miller know how to entertain and their screenplay is utterly on the ball. Their humor is sharp and they write for all ages, but most importantly, they did not make a big cash grab. Their film fundamentally understands how people view Legos. Some people build…

  Top Gun: Maverick 2022

  ★★★★★ Watched 30 May 2022 18

  “It’s not the plane. It’s the pilot.” ⭐️

  Best Scene: Final Mission

  Top Gun: Maverick is a masterpiece. When it comes to pure entertainment, this is up there with the best of the best. Out of any actor working today, Tom Cruise has the best goal in mind when making a film. He wants to give 100%, hold everyone to a high standard, and make the most entertaining film possible. He succeeded in all three because I struggle to find…

  The Dark Knight 2008

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 24 Jun 2021 17

  “You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.” ⭐️

  The Dark Knight is obviously my favorite movie of all time but this time around I wanted to discuss why it’s so important to me. I saw this movie for the first time in 2017, I didn’t hear the hype behind it and I didn’t know about the bandwagon following it had for “Best Superhero Movie of All Time.” While it lived up to…
