7.5/10 My 4th Most Anticipated Film of 2018 came up with mixed results for me. Yes, this is a solid film that is absolutely worth seeing. Yet, it is also Damien Chazelle’s weakest of his directorial efforts, falling short of the extremely high bar he set for himself by directing “Whiplash” and “La La Land”. … Continue reading #53 Film in 2018: First Man

  7/10 What a year for Jason Reitman. Like Ridley Scott last year, Reitman directed two films this year and released them six months apart. Although I didn’t see his first film this year, “Tully”, I was excited to see “The Front Runner” because it has two things I love: true political stories and Hugh … Continue reading #52 Film in 2018: The Front Runner

  3/10 What a massive disappointment this movie was. Sony Pictures made the colossal mistake of not letting David Fincher (along with Rooney Mara and Daniel Craig) come back for the sequel to 2011’s underrated film, “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo”. Instead, they treated this movie as a sequel to it, but changed the … Continue reading #51 Film in 2018: The Girl in the Spider’s Web

  8/10 I might be a little biased because Queen is and always has been my favorite band of all time from when I really discovered them in 7th grade and listened to the song Bohemian Rhapsody on repeat for days on end, to the dismay of anyone and everyone around me. It was fitting … Continue reading #50 Film in 2018: Bohemian Rhapsody

3/10 I was very skeptical of this movie based off of the trailers but I thought it should at least be decent considering that it stars the great Tom Hardy and one of the best actresses working today, Michelle Williams. Add that to cinematographer Matthew Libatique and compser Ludwig Göransson with an original song by … Continue reading #49 Film in 2018: Venom

  8/10 Even though this film is not for mainstream audiences and failed to generate much heat at the box office, don’t let that fool you. “Bad Times at the El Royale” is a clever, well written and fun thrill ride. The cast is dynamic and everyone plays their part well. The soundtrack takes you … Continue reading #48 Film in 2018: Bad Times at the El Royale

  8/10 After having watched all three previous incarnations of “A Star is Born” so I could properly compare them to the fourth version of the story and see how they stack up, I can gladly say that this version falls on the better side of these films. The 1937 original and this 2018 version … Continue reading #47 Film in 2018: A Star is Born

  1.5/10 Just when I thought “Crazy Rich Asians” was destined to simultaneously be the worst movie of 2018, “Hell Fest” had to swoop in and put up a fight. My expectations were already low for this movie due to it being a cliché teen horror movie with no major talents in front or behind … Continue reading #46 Film in 2018: Hell Fest

  3/10 It is hard to find a starting place on where to dissect this movie. I guess with this review I should, like the film, start in the beginning. The beginning of this film really intrigued me and had me very interested as to what was going on and what was going to unfold. … Continue reading #45 Film in 2018: A Simple Favor

     6.5/10 “Operation Finale” is one of those mixed films where it doesn’t have many flaws and there is a good amount to admire about it, yet the end result leaves you wanting more and not being all that memorable. This true story is a fascinating one that I wasn’t familiar with and this … Continue reading #44 Film in 2018: Operation Finale
