I am just killing it with these year-old movies! Movies based on 152-year-old books. I'm honestly not sure why I wanted to see this to begin with. It is definitely not...
Full disclosure: I was a full-fledged adult in the mid-nineties. I had graduated college, moved to NYC and had a job and an apartment and everything. Despite this...
I mean how do I not watch a coming-of-age crime drama set in 1991? And starring this Timothy (sorry, it's spelled Timothée?!) Chalamet kid I've been hearing so much...

Gritty. Dramatic. And, as usual, somebody has to end up dead. Isn't this basically the plot and outcome of every indie movie ever made? Did ...
It's still amazing to me that Kevin Spacey directed Albino Alligator, one of the worst movies ever made. Otherwise, this guy has been making such good choices in the...
Another in a long line of adapted John Irving novels, this one in particular captures the essence of what I think John Irving is going for in his books. Gone are the wacky...
