8.5/10 Legendary director Clint Eastwood has had some decent films in recent years but his last truly great film was “American Sniper” back in 2014. He returns to close out 2019 with his best film since then and one that will stand the test of time for years to come. Following the previous film I … Continue reading #115 Film in 2019: Richard Jewell

8.5/10 I put last year’s incredible documentary “Won’t You Be My Neighbor?” as the 2nd best film of 2018 and it was probably the most moving film of that year as well. This film excels in the sense that it doesn’t solely focus on Fred Rogers and those directly around him like the documentary did, … Continue reading #114 Film in 2019: A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood

7.5/10 Film studios love to throw the word “timely” around when describing their films to often make them seem more important than they actually are but “Dark Waters” truly is a timely film that I have a feeling will be an interesting opposite end of the coin to “Richard Jewell”. We have seen true David … Continue reading #113 Film in 2019: Dark Waters

9/10 “Waves” was a film that I knew almost nothing about before seeing it, which is a rare pleasure for me to have. All I knew was that it came from the best independent film studio, A24, and it looked very emotional. After having watched it I can happily report that this is one of … Continue reading #112 Film in 2019: Waves

9.5/10 After Noah Baumbach creating the best film of his entire career with “Marriage Story”, now we get another film maker, Bong Joon Ho, create his masterpiece and the crowning achievement of his career. The less you know going into “Parasite”, the better. There are a few things I really loved about this film. First … Continue reading #111 Film in 2019: Parasite

6/10 A film that came and went from theaters in what felt like a time period shorter than how long the running time of this is, “Motherless Brooklyn” is a well made, well acted film that ultimately slogs its way along, leaving much to be desired. Sometimes acclaimed novels don’t always translate perfectly to the … Continue reading #110 Film in 2019: Motherless Brooklyn

3.5/10 After re-watching the first two films in the Terminator franchise (this sequel ignores #3, #4 and #5 and acts as a direct sequel to “Terminator 2: Judgement Day”), I was actually pretty excited for this film due to ignoring the muddled sequels, maintaining its R rating and bringing back Linda Hamilton as Sarah Connor … Continue reading #109 Film in 2019: Terminator: Dark Fate

9.5/10 Before watching this film I watched every film from writer/director Noah Baumbach in anticipation for this since I realized I hadn’t seen any of his films before. To be completely honest, I can’t say I am a fan of his artistic output. Granted his filmography (like most directors) ranges from bad (“Frances Ha”, “Mistress … Continue reading #108 Film in 2019: Marriage Story
