I won’t ever forget the feelings surrounding those early days: I had just started my Junior Year of college, I felt like I was in a good place, and my fellow swimmers filled up a good chunk of two floors in our dormitory. We all had developed a...
Confession time: I haven’t gotten around to watching Making a Murderer yet. I know, I know, it’s amazing, it’s controversial, it’s intelligent, but I’ve just had other shows to get through first. Plus, I saw The Thin Blue Line and The Jinx years...
Is a third act enough to redeem an entire movie? That’s the question that many audience members will inevitably be asking themselves after seeing Lights Out. Directed by David F. Sandberg, and based on his own (honestly quite creepy) short of the...
If you stick around this site long enough, you’ll learn that I’m a huge fan of the work of Benedict Cumberbatch. Perhaps this is because of his incredible talent, perhaps because I have a massive man crush on him. Either way, I think he is one of...

In 2014, Gone Girl proved itself to be the breakout film of the season. It took an average piece of airport literature and turned it into an artistic masterpiece worthy of Alfred Hitchcock and Roman Polanski (and ended up as my #6 of that year)...
If there’s one thing you’ll learn about me over the course of this site’s existence, it’s that I have a passionate love for terrible movies. It’s a love that lives on the border between ironic and unironic, to the point I can’t tell if it’s real...
The key to a good fantasy film is quite similar to the key to a good horror film: the story should not just be “look at all these mystical things,” it should be mystical things used as a metaphor for something larger. E.T. wasn’t necessarily...
And now we’ve come to the end of these near-daily Oscar predictions. It’s been a fun three weeks. I hope I’ve opened your eyes to the many films ready to compete for the big prizes this year. And now’s the time for me to wrap it all up with the...
