If this is what high school nostalgia for the year 2000 is then I shudder to think what the nostalgia bait for my high school years will look like. An unfortunate waste of a pretty good premise.Please Rachel Zegler, make smarter choices. You deserve better than this.

Also, I think the people who made this movie are confusing the year Y2K with 1997.

The greatest sin of this movie is that it simply refused to fully commit to itself. Ana de Armas so clearly has the skill and presence to make an action movie as gonzo and brutal as any John Wick film. But instead she is saddled with a pathetic plot with an inciting event that feels unmistakably gendered, and a series of set pieces that, while entertaining in a vacuum, continuously undermine our belief in her competency and force of will. When she is allowed to beat on hordes of assassins and when she is allowed to use that John Wick gun-fu, she is completely convincing. Those sequences however are short and frequently interrupted.

Some really shoddy, unnecessary CGI here too. The CGI in the action makes things feel weightlessness, which is exactly the opposite of what we want from the violence in John Wick. The cameos/links to the broader world are equally frustrating. The allure of the John Wick universe comes from how this elaborate, underground culture of assassins is merely hinted at. The more time you spend filling in the details, the less thrilling the world becomes.

I have never liked Ana de Armas in anything until her 15 minutes in the last Bond film. But just from those few minutes I became incredibly excited to see her pull off John Wick action. Unfortunately, it looks like I had more faith in her abilities than the people who made the film. I guess the absurd title should have been the first hint. There's still a glimmer of hope for the sequel.

As an aside, this film benefited from the Dolby theater more than any movie I've seen in a long time

Pretty great if you like the his schtick and pretty insufferable if you don't. I don't really think there's an in-between with Wes Anderson anymore. Luckily for me i'm in the former group and found the whole ride completely delightful. Benecio is at the top of his game and Mia Threapleton feels tailor-made for Wes Anderson's brand of comedy. The movie definitely lacks the emotional resonance of top-tier Wes Anderson films, but The Phoenician Scheme is still one of my favorites from him in years.

Certainly the best post-Endgame MCU movie, which is obviously a low bar but nonetheless a refreshing achievement. The movie actually looks really great and to my utter surprise and joy, the 3rd act is actually better than the first! There’s a true emotional core here anchored by the effortlessly spectacular Florence Pugh and while the central theme is personified pretty heavy-handidly, I still found myself moved by the ending. The power of friendship turns out to be quite potent! Can only hope this movie is a sign of better MCU days to come.

All the Gen X Star Wars babies gotta get over it, this movie's good. You can't like Andor if you don't like this one.

Really wanted to like this more than I did but about half of the story did not work for me. So many things I normally love in this slow-burn 1950's period piece romantic drama. Its ostensibly a story about how transgressing boundaries to achieve happiness is a gamble worth taking. The sets and costumes are stunning and the three leads are absolutely beautiful. Daisy Edgar-Jones and Jacob Elordi have parallel plots and while Daisy Edgar-Jones's piece is compelling, the Jacob Elordi part was inscrutable, meandering, and overall just a mess. There's certainly a good version of this movie but unfortunately it doesn't come through here.

Incredibly heart-wrenching to be in the presence of so much love that is to end in sorrow but I suppose that is the tragedy. I do not know how much of Fruitvale Station is accurate to the last day of Oscar Grant but as the story is told here, it becomes difficult to believe just how many near misses and tragic familial encounters occurred in the lead up to his murder. In some ways, the fact/fiction of it doesn't really matter as long as the movie conveys the emotional truth of the story, but when so many coincidentally tragic moments happen sequentially, both the fact and fiction become harder to believe.

Regardless of the screenplay, the performances across the board are absolutely superb. Michael B. Jordan is uniquely good at combining the charm and innocence and anger and confusion of this familiar type of young man. Just as impressive are the performances from both Octavia Spencer and Melonie Diaz. On this watch I was struck by just how strong these mothers are forced to be, it feels impossible.

The re-creation of the murder is very affecting. Some of the plot and dialogue choices do feel similarly conspicuously tragic in a way that can distract from the crime occurring on screen. Nonetheless its impossible not to feel horror and indignation while watching it play out, and equally hard not to consider how little has changed all these years later.

A Nice Indian Boy is an absolute delight even if it is a bit hackneyed. Its a pretty endearing but familiar story of a conservative immigrant family learning to accept their child's life. Unfortunately, there is very little chemistry between the leads and the entire Groff character backstory seems completely incidental. The family dynamics are better, especially anything with the father played by Harish Patel. The script is pretty rough and Karan Soni really struggles to fully commit to the skittishness of his character.

Whatever misgivings I have about the screenplay, Roshan Sethi is clearly an incredibly gifted visual filmmaker. Everyone looks absolutely stunning all the time and that is largely due to the extraordinary costume design. The entire film is so well lit, and Sethi is not at all afraid to use a wide variety of camerawork. What is especially striking is how willing Sethi is to keep his actors in close-up, or at least have their faces taking up large portions of the frame. This feels so refreshing when compared to the generic medium shot slop we see from most movies these days, and absolutely adds a level of intimacy and romance. Can't stress enough how incredible everyone looks and how vibrant the entire film is.

If you had told me 20 years ago as I was growing up that I would one day sit in a movie theater and watch a a film in English about a gay Indian-American man and his family I would have never believed you. It is absolutely stunning for me to see Indian-American families in focus on American multiplex screens. It is so counter from the most fundamental Indian immigrant family ethos which is "do your work and keep your head down". Very excited to see what Sethi does next, and I am personally just filled with joy to see this story told fully in the mainstream American culture.

So surprised and overjoyed by Drop! A taut whodunit thriller from a director who is clearly unafraid of making their presence known through audacious camerawork and hyper stylized visuals. Hard not to think of this as a Hitchcock movie for the 21st century. Everything in the 1st and 2nd acts is near-perfect. Really well constructed and acted and somehow even a little touching, even if the movie doesn't actually want to focus on the character backstories.

I was elated with every visual decision. All the background work and color and elaborate camerawork just made the thriller even more thrilling. Everyone looks incredible and the restaurant is freaking gorgeous.

The conclusion is kinda dumb but also funny enough that I didn't care. It's a super fun, twisty, exciting 90 minutes at the movies which is amazing cause this feels like exactly the kind of movie that would get disappear into streaming oblivion. So refreshing!

Nothing new or unique at all in this one but as far as paint-by-numbers globetrotting CIA thrillers go, this is perfectly servicable. I honestly can't tell if Rami Malek is a good actor in anything outside of Mr. Robot, but lucky for him his character in The Amateur is basically a toned down version Elliot. There's a certain comfort in going to see a completely predictable spy movie. Its low stakes with guns and cars and explosions and pretty landscapes. Nice to have these in theaters!

Dolby @ AMC Empire

Honestly not bad! Jack Black is the perfect energy for this. Black and Mamoa are having a blast together, even if Mamoa isn't so great by himself.

I don't have any Minecraft knowledge so I'm sure people who play, which is probably literally everyone else, will enjoy it even more. The movie definitely gets much more boring as it focuses more on the Minecraft of it all.

The story feels like a generic adventure movie with kind of cursed, attempted photorealistic Minecraft assets. Still it is pretty fun. How about we skip the “death of cinema” discourse for this one? It was fine! And the kids love it! Feel like I grew up with a bunch of these kind of movies.

Dolby @ AMC Empire

What a fucking ride. Don't know if all the twists completely hold together under focused scrutiny but moment-to-moment this thing had me hooked full bore from the jump. It genuinely feels perfectly constructed, accelerating the tension at just the right pace. Top-tier Fincher, so much fun.

"Put on the red shoes Vicky, and dance for us again"

The dance sequences in here are probably amongst they greatest things I have ever seen on screen. I just wish everything in between was even a fraction as compelling. There are so many bold, surrealist visual choices here and while most of them are amazing, even the ones that don't work are exciting just because of how daring they are. Why are modern directors so scared of vibrant color and abstract visual storytelling?

The dance sequences are so transcendent that they almost completely made up for the pretty lackluster drama. There isn't enough praise in the world to adequately describe Moira Shearer's performance, her dancing is fully enrapturing. I can't believe everyone just became ok with giving up these kind of dance sequences in the movies.

Super fun filmmaking experiment for Hitchcock that ends up being a little hokey at the end. Even Jimmy Stewart isn't able to make the ending monologue work, though its a testament to him that he is able to make any of it work at all.

It feels only natural that the master of suspense tries his hand at building a movie around long oners. You can definitely feel the tension continuing to build as each shot goes on, and as you are continuously denied the inevitable cut for longer and longer the tension from the filmmaking ends up really enhancing the tension from the story.

When did everyone decide to stop blocking movies like this one? When did everyone decide to shoot basically everything in still, generic medium shots. After seeing a few more Hitchcock and Orson Welles films, its hard not to pine for a time when directors were not afraid to make their presence known through their camerawork.

Pleasantly surprised by how funny the movie is too, just a super fun cat and mouse movie!

35mm @ The Metrograph

A really focused, almost forensic ing of a specific instance of combat in near realtime. Plenty of standard war movie filmmaking techniques, but Garland specifically refuses to cut away from some of the gruesome realities that audiences are often spared from in other films of this ilk. It does a pretty good job at not overly valorizing or overly denigrating the soldiers depicted, which is pretty impressive considering one of the actual soldiers is a co-writer. I am pretty jaded when it comes to war movies at this point, but this one felt more authentic and visceral than most, almost like you were embedded with them. Pretty amazing to see it on the giant IMAX.

Was hopin I would enjoy this more now that I'm older and considering I am seeing it in a theater instead of in my middle school friend's shitty basement TV. Unfortunately, it still feels weird of weird's sake to me. I'm sure I'm missing something.

The sheer blunt force of the message being delivered in The Substance stopped me from fully enjoying this movie, along with just not being able stomach some of the body horror. That said, Coralie Fargeat's filmmaking talent is undeniable. The moive is vibrant and bold and constantly visually dynamic, and she commits every single component of the film to serving her central conceit to its supposedly logical, phantasmagoric end. Very exciting to see a director who is this bold, very excited to see what she does next.

Hopefully the next time I watch this I will not resonate so much with the crushing, lonely, melancholic tone . The biggest fantasy in this movie is to live in a world where strangers aren’t immediately distrustful and skeptical of each other, where the immediate reflex is not to suspect danger when seeing a random person for the first time. The environment to facilitate this type of new connection seems to have vanished over these past years. It’s an amazing movie, one that I keep coming back to in tough times, if for no other reason than Bill Murray telling me it’ll get better.

Welcome to the fifth annual Criterion Challenge where we celebrate The Criterion Collection! Can you believe it has been HALF A DECADE? When I started this challenge, I never expected it to hit the ground running as fast as it did, so thanks to all of you for participating. I wanted this year to mix in some categories throughout the years as well as be even more collaborative. I took many of your suggestions and turned them into categories. It’s a very exciting line-up for 2025!

But first, time for the rules:

There are 52 categories. The goal is to watch any Criterion released film based on the categories below between 1/1/25-12/31/25. Your choices can be any films released by Criterion on 4K, Blu-ray, DVD, VHS, Laserdisc, or ones that have been featured on The Criterion Channel streaming service (although I'd prefer you choose films they've actually put out themselves).
The films can be watched daily, weekly, or monthly, and in any order! Watch them at your own pace, but you have to finish by 12/31/25.
I would like for all picks to be first time watches, but will leave that up to you.

Don't forget to visit The Criterion Collection for all your film needs, and they have a pretty sweet streaming service for endless options to choose from when you're struggling to find things to watch.

HUGE SHOUTOUT to Josh and Criterion Closet Picks for their amazing lists which helps this process be much smoother.
