Wes Anderson creates one of the most beautiful and heartwarming worlds in all of film in this amazing Hotel setting, and has the mastermind behind the place torn down by fascism and forgotten by the end. An unsettling and poignant message that reverberates to this day. In what seems to be one of the worst weeks in my living memory for world news, Grand Budapest Hotel was a warm and cozy hug of a time, a comforting blanket to distract…
Today is the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the prisoners of the Auschwitz death camp during the final year of World War II. Unfortunately, we live in a world in which an egregious amount of people still deny or downplay the abhorrent cruelty of the holocaust, to the point that the richest man on earth proudly hails hitler for all to see. This is pretty disgusting and hits me a bit close to home, as to deny the holocaust…
Loved this! But ive pretty much loved everything of Wes Anderson ive seen.

Sinners is a non-franchise debut for Ryan Coogler and he knocks it out of the park. This movie definitely feels like it has his most personal vision, and it overflows with awesome style. Its really hard to blend genres within a single movie but when its done well…
The airplane sequence at the end of this movie has some of the most insane and dangerous stunts ive EVER seen, just jawdropping to witness. Tom Cruise literally almost dies for our entertainment in this. His message before the movie started was really nice too.
Final Reckoning is somewhat of a mixed bag in light of the last 3 exceptional films in the Mission Impossible Saga. As the “final” movie of the series, it references and pays homage to a…
