5.5/10 After watching “Little Women” from 1933, 1949 and 1994 for the first time, it was time to take a look at the current remake and see how it stacks up. Despite some strengths, this is not the best version put to screen, as I would give the edge to the 1933 original film and … Continue reading #123 Film in 2019: Little Women

7/10 To be honest I wasn’t super excited to go see this film and only did so due to hearing about the Oscar hype for Cynthia Erivo in the Best Actress category. Since I try to see every Oscar nominated film every year, and her performance was nominated, I wanted to make sure I had … Continue reading #122 Film in 2019: Harriet

0/10 Black Christmas? I thought that was just called Kwanza…In the last several years of officially reviewing films on this website, the closest I have come to giving a movie a 0 for a score was when I gave “Transformers: The Last Knight” a .5/10 back in 2017. The .5 basically came from the amazing … Continue reading #121 Film in 2019: Black Christmas

7/10 After spending a good amount of time watching the entire six seasons for the first time in preparation for this film, my time spent at Downton Abbey has finally come to a close with the completion of this film viewing. I do admit it is strange to go from watching full seasons that clock … Continue reading #120 Film in 2019: Downton Abbey

6.5/10 When “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle” came out in 2017, it was a huge surprise both in terms of audiences not knowing what to expect from the film and also in terms of box office grosses. Now that we know what to expect from this film, a bit of the allure and surprise is … Continue reading #119 Film in 2019: Jumanji: The Next Level

5.5/10 Normally I keep my film reviews short and sweet but with this most recent Star Wars trilogy, I decided to give the fans what they wanted and make each review epic and long, going point by point as to what worked and what didn’t in each, respective movie. As you can tell from the … Continue reading #118 Film in 2019: Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker

123. After a record low of only seeing 62 films in theaters in 2018, I bounced back in a big way by nearly doubling the amount of films seen and broke 2015's record of seeing 117 films in theaters. I was able to hit 123 in theaters in 2019, not including the TV shows, Netflix … Continue reading The Best/Worst of Film in 2019: A Year in Review

6/10 What do you get when you combine two British acting legends and a cat and mouse, con man plot? Sadly, you get a decent but very forgettable movie that will entertain you and then quickly leave your mind. No fault goes to our two leads, however. Helen Mirren and Ian McKellen are delightful and … Continue reading #117 Film in 2019: The Good Liar

7/10 Writer/director Rian Johnson has simultaneously made some great, intriguing films like “Looper” while also helping destroy the legacy of Star Wars with “The Last Jedi”. So it was with mixed feelings that I entered this film, not knowing which Johnson would show up. Even though the film doesn’t reach the quality of some of … Continue reading #116 Film in 2019: Knives Out

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
