A Minecraft Movie
A Minecraft Movie left me feeling every bit of my age. This wasn’t made for me — and honestly, that’s okay.
A Simple Favor
A Simple Favor goes into some dark territories, but handles it all with a sense of humor and delight that makes you ease into a very entertaining viewing experience.
Thunderbolts*
Starts like your typical Marvel movie—ends like superhero group therapy. Thunderbolts* digs into trauma and trust issues with surprising sincerity and a stellar cast
The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!
The Naked Gun is a goofy mess… until that glorious baseball finale. Not quite a comedy classic, but close.
Honey, I Shrunk the Kids
Rewatched Honey, I Shrunk the Kids with my 9-year-old on a whim, and yep—it still holds up. The effects may look a little dated, but the practical magic still works.
WrestleMania IX: Becoming a Spectacle
WrestleMania IX: Becoming a Spectacle is WWE-produced nostalgia candy—slick, celebratory and a peek behind the curtain of the ultimate wrestling soap opera
Saturday Night
Jason Reitman’s Saturday Night isn’t just a nostalgia trip; it’s a chaotic, behind-the-scenes sprint through the hours leading up to that very first live show that changed comedy—and late-night TV—forever.
Between the Temples
If Harold and Maude wandered into a contemporary synagogue and bumped into a Jewish grief-comedy, you’d land somewhere near Between the Temples.
Anora
Anora is a film that thrives not so much on its plot but on its ability to sidestep clichés. The "sex worker with a heart of gold" trope has been explored before, but it's been a while since a newcomer like Mikey Madison has brought so much life to a role with such an unapologetic and authentic performance.
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is a rare gem that balances intellectual wit with laugh-out-loud physical comedy. It still holds up just as well today as it did when I was eight—and that’s saying something.
Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl
Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl was cute and funny, but it didn’t hit quite like the earlier installments.
Waitress: The Musical
Waitress: The Musical serves up heart, humor and a whole lot of Sara Bareilles soul. I didn’t walk away humming the songs—but I did walk away smiling.
You’re Cordially Invited
You’re Cordially Invited might actually be the plus-one you didn’t know you needed.
The Substance
The Substance demands—and seizes—your full attention, gripping you with its grotesque, shocking and undeniably unforgettable imagery.
Waiting for Guffman
Rewatched Waiting for Guffman and it’s still a hilarious, heartfelt classic. Christopher Guest’s small-town mockumentary magic never misses.
Emilia Pérez
Emilia Pérez has an undeniably intriguing premise but manages to fumble nearly everything that could have made it great.
