I’ve decided to do all 20 films in one big article because this has taken far too long already. SPOILERS AHEAD! Before I start off the countdown, time for the honorable mentions. In no particular order: The BFG, The Accountant, Deepwater Horizon, Hidden Figures, Fences, Hands of Stone, Storks, Don’t Think Twice, Eddie the Eagle, … [Read more…]
Y’all thought this was gonna be the start of my top 20 films of 2016 list, but I ran out of time to finish that before February started. It’ll be nearly three weekends into February by the time even this goes out. I hope to be done with the entire top 20 before the end … [Read more…]
This took me time to do. Sorry about that folks. Haven’t had much free time in the last few weeks. 2016 was a good year, all told. As long as you weren’t a known personality or celebrity fifty years or older. Since I didn’t know any of those people personally, their deaths didn’t really affect … [Read more…]

Let me take a step back a bit and explain that, for the sake of … [Read more…]
Went to the theaters five times this month. Masterminds doesn’t come out until the last day of the month, and I plan to spend my limited time that day watching the first few episodes of Netflix’s Luke Cage. So there. While nothing blew my mind this month, my selection was good. As in, another month … [Read more…]
I was fully expecting to only go to the theaters four times this month, but two dramas came out that I completely forgot about. If you do the math, that’s six trips to the theaters in total. Pretty damn good month all told. I had a blast with this movie. And, by nature of what … [Read more…]
