The Oscars are a little over a week away. Before I post final predictions, I want to lay out a map for you all about where we are in the race. Because, quite frankly, this is the craziest, most insane year of the Oscars I have ever witnessed. Oh...
Welcome to the Second Annual Sacred Wall Awards! After spending the last few weeks looking at the worst of the worst and the best of the best, it’s time to break these films down to their base components, determining who were the best performers...
The Oscar race continues to become curiouser and curiouser after the BAFTA Awards this weekend, where Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri took home a whopping five BAFTAs, including Best Film, Best British Film, Best Original Screenplay...
As we grow closer to the day of the Oscars, I’m going all out in terms of Oscar viewing. I saw a whopping nine films (technically more if you break them down), and even managed to review one of them. That would be Black Panther, a monumental...
Ed. Note: Last week’s article, The Sacred Wall Awards, have been delayed in order to properly cover all the categories. As I wanted to make sure this Valentine’s Day article went up in time, I am delaying that article until the end of this...
I’m beginning to think that Ryan Coogler can do no wrong. No matter what kind of film he’s making, he manages to combine an intellectually complex story with vibrant filmmaking techniques. He did it in 2013 with his low-budget true-life tragedy...

Well, that’s that. I’ve completed every narrative Oscar nominee in theaters, meaning it’s time to sit and enjoy some films and documentaries at home, as well as relax after working on my list of the Top Ten Films of...
2017 has truly been a remarkable year for film. It’s really hard to put into words what we’ve just gone through without people realizing. While 2013 and 2007 were fairly remarkable, and there were one or two years from the 90s worth mentioning, I...
This is a Venn Diagram about films. On your left are movies I like. On your right are movies that feature a man riding an elephant through the streets of New York to make it to his daughters’ ballet recital on time. In the middle, inexplicably...
