62. The number of films I saw in theaters last year for me was the lowest number I have seen since I started really keeping track back in 2015, when I saw 117 films in theaters that year. Seeing as I am not a professional film critic so I don't go see films Monday through … Continue reading The Best/Worst of Film in 2018: A Year in Review

  6.5/10 “Vice” was my 2nd Most Anticipated Film of 2018, which means I could not have been more excited for this film if I had tried to. The best comedy writer/director working today, Adam McKay, killed it with his foray into dramatic territory with the third best film of 2015, “The Big Short”. After … Continue reading #62 Film in 2018: Vice

  7/10 After basically bombing at the box office and killing any chance for a sequel that the studio was obviously hoping for, my expectations of this “Robin Hood” reboot (coming eight years after the last attempt from Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe) were very low. After having sat through it though, I can say … Continue reading #61 Film in 2018: Robin Hood

  6/10 Yorgos Lanthimos is a director whose work I always greatly look forward to. Although his films are always graphic and very adult in nature, they are some of the most original films you will ever see, for better or for worse. His Greek films are not mainstream but showed that he was a … Continue reading #60 Film in 2018: The Favourite

  7/10 Director Robert Zemeckis took the documentary “Man on Wire” and adapted it into “The Walk” back in 2015. Although “The Walk” was decent, it didn’t reach the level of quality of the original documentary. Zemeckis tries again with another true life tale based off of the documentary “Marwencol”. From that has sprung “Welcome … Continue reading #59 Film in 2018: Welcome to Marwen

  7.5/10 After the massively disappointing and failed “The 15:17 to Paris”, Clint Eastwood quickly rebounded when he decided to make this film. At age 88, Clint Eastwood started filming this in June of 2018 and within six months put it out in theaters for audiences. For anyone who knows about what a lengthy process … Continue reading #58 Film in 2018: The Mule

  6/10 As someone whose family did foster care for a decade and is also very passionate about adoption, this movie intrigued me. Perhaps the best aspect of the movie is that it brings so much awareness to foster care and adoption, even ending with a website and information that you can look up to … Continue reading #57 Film in 2018: Instant Family

  4/10 The first “Fantastic Beasts” film was a disaster on almost every level and made my Top 10 Worst Films of 2016 List. JK Rowling proved she can write literature fairly well, but that screenwriting is an entirely different beast and she can’t do that well at all. My expectations were low for this … Continue reading #56 Film in 2018: Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald

  9/10 The trailer didn’t do a whole lot for me and gave me a bad Hallmark movie vibe to it a little bit so I was slightly nervous seeing this film. Add to that the fact that director Peter Farrelly has only up until this point co-directed gross out comedies with his brother, Bob … Continue reading #55 Film in 2018: Green Book

  6/10 Hype was pretty high for this film due to director Steve McQueen coming off of his Best Picture winning “12 Years a Slave” and the fact that this movie has a stacked cast and is co-written by the writer of “Gone Girl”, Gillian Flynn. It is rather disappointing then to have this be … Continue reading #54 Film in 2018: Widows
