Can You Ever Forgive Me? (2018)
This is a powerful and well-crafted story which definitely deserves to be told, and.... the movie should continue to be a presence deep into awards season.

Don't Go (2018)
Gleeson's creation of the environment's tone through the visual, Don't Go builds a fascinating narrative which keeps you on edge right up until the final credits roll.

Mid90s (2018)
In fact, the film is in celebration of a toxic masculinity that the contemporary #MeToo movement is currently taking a stand against.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992)
I give this a "Fresh" rating because it owns its place in history and is not nearly as bad as many of the action movies I've watched & discussed online.

Bad Times at the El Royale (2018)
There is so much here to like .... The quirky thriller brings well-structured characters, solid action and beautiful filmmaking.

First Man (2018)
Damien Chazelle has done it again with First Man. The period piece is a bit of a challenge, but this is bound to be one of the top movies of 2018.

A Star Is Born (2018)
While Lady Gaga shines, the problematic narrative makes it clear that it is the unlikable Jackson Maine with whom audiences are supposed to identify.

The Sisters Brothers (2018)
The western is noticeably hampered by structural and tonal issues ... Solid performances by likable actors can't save this indie western being weighed by its script.

Night School (2018)
Ultimately, fans of the comedian will get a kick out of this ... but it's frustrating to see this become a largely generic comedy when there's more interesting material here.

Avengers: Infinity War (2018)
This movie is definitely a "Part 1," so final review is reserved for when Part 2 is over, BUT- so much good stuff! (Except the romance. Stop forcing it in, MCU.)

Mandy (2018)
Ultimately, the lack of a coherent script hampers the movie in a number of ways, largely overshadowing some very interesting direction ... leave this one to stream.

Black Panther (2018)
A big win for representation on screen & behind the scenes, my only criticism is that I like the women better than the lead. Fingers crossed for girl power in the sequel.

The Disaster Artist (2017)
The Disaster Artist is a love letter to The Room. The painstaking recreations of certain shots are fascinating to watch. Be sure to stay through the credits.

A Simple Favor (2018)
In a series of features which ... regulate(s) women to the good girl/femme fatale dichotomy, A Simple Favor lets the ladies step out from the ... archetypes weighing them down.

Only the Brave (2017)
Only the Brave is a powerful and emotional film (coming) out of a good place ... as a tribute to the firefighters lost ... but (those) still risking their lives everyday.

Thor: Ragnarok (2017)

Wonderstruck (2017)
Coming from a filmmaker capable of wowing with his visual flair, Wonderstruck fails to illicit much wonder .... This one could have been a heck of a lot better.

Murder On The Orient Express (2017)
The film struggles visually and narratively in places. As such, this version of the classic story doesn't present anything new or unique... does this story need to be retold?

Justice League (2017)
This movie is not ready for prime time, and DC should be ashamed of themselves for letting their wind from Wonder Woman completely escape.

Three Billboards Outside of Ebbing, Missouri is an incredibly solid film. The strength of the talented ensemble will take the movie far.

Darkest Hour (2017)
In (Oldman's) hands, Churchill is realistic. He's insecure. He's uncertain of himself ... in relation to the situation he finds himself caught up in. This take is unique

I, Tonya (2018)
Margot Robbie absolutely slays in I, Tonya, particularly in the third act. Her performance picks up speed and evolves throughout the film.

Battle of the Sexes (2017)
In fact, Stone looses herself in the role, successfully transforming herself into the iconic tennis player. Her portrayal is a well studied one.

Blade Runner 2049 (2017)
Perhaps Blade Runner 2049's biggest flaw is style over substance. Check it out for the beautiful look, but be careful diving below the surface.

Rules Don't Apply (2016)
All in all, Rules Don't Apply is ... uneven. The film suffers from trying to do too much. Had it been either a romance ... character study, the movie could have been stellar.

Thriller fans should also check it out, as the tightly crafted script keeps audiences on their toes. It's a great debut effort from Zack Whedon...

Thor: Ragnarok (2017)
Taika Waititi is rad, and this completely fun movie is evidence of that. The Hela stuff could be better, but Sakar is on-point & Jeff Goldblum is the Jeff Goldblummiest.

Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017)
Maybe the best movie in the MCU so far? This cast is so great. These teens look like teens. This mix of high schoolers rings true. Why did this take so long?
