Downsizing, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle
Closing out the year with two of the larger movies to come out over the holiday weekend, “Downsizing” and “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle.” “Downsizing” is a great concept, with terrible execution. After the misfires of “The Great Wall” “Suburbicon” and “Downsizing” I’m officially boycotting Matt Damon films. It’s also a miss for Alexander…

Top Films of 2017
I saw over 100 movies that came out in 2017, and here are some of my favorites! They’re in chronological order by release date. February 24 – Get Out – It’s natural for enthusiasm for a film to dwindle over the course of a year, but Get Out managed to defy that. I find bringing…

All the Money in the World, The Greatest Showman, Molly’s Game
So begins the slew of holiday movies and rush of award contenders. For the first batch I have “All the Money in the World’ “The Greatest Showman” and “Molly’s Game.” Only someone as exact as Ridley Scott could pull off replacing a key actor (Kevin Spacey) only a few months before release and after…

It also brings a review of the unfortunate sequel, “Daddy’s Home 2.” While I’m not sure if we need another Winston Churchill biopic, there’s no denying Oldman does an impressive…

The Disaster Artist, The Shape of Water
It’s rare that I get to say it’s an excellent week at the movies! This week brings “The Disaster Artist” from James Franco, and “The Shape of Water” from Guillermo Del Toro. “The Disaster Artist” is based on the book of the same name, which chronicles the making of “The Room” (which has been…

Coco, Roman J. Israel, ESQ.
If there’s one film you see this Thanksgiving, make it Disney•Pixar’s “Coco” and if there’s one you skip/rent/perhaps even never see… make it “Roman J. Israel, Esq.” Pixar has once again made a beautiful, touching film that anyone of any culture can enjoy. However if you are at all of Mexican heritage, get yourself…
