What an important and brave voice George Carlin was. Judd Apatow and Michael Bonfiglio have put together a masterful tribute to Carlin's hilarious and philosophical voice.

Although I grew up on the Chip ’n Dale: Rescue Rangers cartoon, I can't say that I had an affinity for the characters, despite owning and playing the video game version multiple times on Super NES. If you start this film without having seen any trailers or promotions, I guarantee you that you will not expect what's coming. That can both be a good and bad thing.

My major qualm with Family Camp is that the overarching premise is to show why a family needs to support one another, but it's very much told from a male perspective with the father figure always being the hero.

I really had to keep in mind the era in which this film was made in. It's not uncommon now to see portrayals of mental health issues and suicide. But for 1980, this topic had to be uncharted territory for the film industry.

This is director/writer Mariama Diallo's first narrative film and it's an impressive feat. She is at fault for trying to pack in too much in such a short timeframe, but she presents tremendous racial and social dilemmas packaged with a haunted, historic university.

Simply put, Schindler’s List is one of the most important films that we have today. Especially during these rampant times of conspiracy theories and extreme political rhetoric, this movie is an essential story to the world’s history.

I miss the simplicity of films like White Men Can't Jump. It's a very self-contained comedy that immediately throws you into its world and never looks back.

Am I too old to find this entertaining? Turns out that I still have a teenager's sense of humor because I found Jackass Forever to be hilarious.

Passing is a beautiful, yet tragic, display of how racial disparity in this world affects everyday life.

Though there is much to admire about The French Dispatch, this was one of the first times that I struggled with the content of the film.

My kindergartner said it best, "Daddy, why was the movie full of action and not funny?" Out of the mouth of babes. Maybe she should start writing my reviews.

Delightful. Better Nate Than Ever achieves the goal of putting a smile on your face throughout its entire runtime. It's a love letter not so much to Broadway, but a love letter to the love of theatre.

I am not someone who falls asleep during movies, but I really struggled to say awake during Free Guy. It took me multiple viewings to get through this movie. It's a great concept, but director Shawn Levy takes the opposite approach of less is more.

I Want You Back knows what it is and does it really well. If you heart romantic comedies, this will quickly be added to one of your favorites.

I have never seen the other reiterations of Cheaper by the Dozen, so I had absolutely no expectations except to have a fun viewing experience with my family. Did this 2022 version provide that? Certainly. But man, this movie was all over the place.

At first glance, it seems like a lot of my film community is trashing this film. I can completely understand how Belfast can be seen as an Oscar-bait checklist. It may seem to be utilizing a very tragic movement to elicit false emotion, but similar to Jo Jo Rabbit, I think the contradiction of sentiment is justified by the perspective of the child protagonist.

Much has been made about the symbolism of Turning Red and as a dad of two young girls, I'm here for it. Like Inside Out (although not as complex), Turning Red does an excellent job of blending the mental hurdles of youth with animated fantasy.

Just by watching one trailer, I knew The Batman was going to be a gloomy tale. As one friend said to me, "I don't know how excited I am for a grim, 3-hour Batman movie." What I didn't expect was a David Fincher-like detective story with social commentary on class and angst.

I'm a bit befuddled by how this movie received a Best Picture nomination. Not because it's a bad movie, but because a three-hour international drama about a man processing grief somehow pushed out other contenders.

I don't know how he did it, but Steven Spielberg pulled off a remake that is both reverential and original. This version is not a reimagining either. It's West Side Story through and through.
