Man, what an eclectic week of movie watching I’ve had. From Best Picture winners to favorites of the past to the best of 2018, I’ve seen it all. I even managed to see two foreign language contenders and my last “normie” Oscar contender, thanks to...
It’s time for every superfan between ten and thirty to get excited and for every parent to start crying, because the first trailer for Frozen 2 is finally here! That’s right, after the unprecedented success of Frozen, which broke the record for...
It was only on the list for a brief amount of time, but I consider the 1971 classic Shaft to be one of the greatest films of all time. Taking classic noir/action tropes and revitalizing them with a then-unique angle, Shaft gave the...
I was so looking forward to Serenity when the first trailer came out. As a fan of the film noir genre, and especially the neo-noir subgenre, the promise of a sexy noir thriller starring Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway, written and directed...
I used to be so good at predicting the Academy Awards. From The King’s Speech through Birdman, I would get all of the top awards right, especially Best Picture. However, as the Academy started changing up its membership, doubling down on the...
If you remember back at the beginning of the year, I named the then-untitled Danny Boyle-Richard Curtis romantic musical comedy Yesterday as my #2 most anticipated of 2019. Between the interesting premise, the great creative team, and the promise...

Man, this Oscar season has been a slog. With films only just coming out, and my lists needing some last minute adjustments, both good and bad, I haven’t had a chance to head out to the theater too much as of late. I did, however, see two films in...
I do not exaggerate when I say there hasn’t been a film like Roma in almost seventy years. Not since the days of Orson Welles and Yasujirō Ozu has there been a film as rich, alive, subtle, grandiose, and honest as what Alfonso Cuarón has...
The 25th Screen Actors Guild Awards were last night, and the results didn’t make the Oscar race any easier, as scrappy underdog Black Panther (weird way to describe a $100 million-budgeted, billion dollar-earning blockbuster that changed pop...
It’s been a crazy few weeks between the Oscars, the finalization of lists, and more here at the Sacred Wall. I’ve been mostly focused on finishing my Top Ten lists, but I did manage to get out to see a few of the big films in theaters, as well as...
