One of the best films ever made for sparking discussion about history and science, The Man From Earth, about a professor claiming to be a non-aging cro-magnon, will have you buzzing with information. When I first watched this film, about three years ago, I had never heard of it before. I knew nothing about it…
Based on a true story, Memories Of Murder, about a serial killer that struck a small town and the detectives who investigate, is a fantastic and intense thriller. It was only about five years ago that I developed a deep love of foreign films. I wasn’t raised watching anything that wasn’t in English and I…
A thriller with potential that devolves into confusion, Some Other Woman, about a woman, her husband, and her stalker, starts pretty well, but loses its way. I love a good thriller. It is so much fun when a movie can pull the wool over your eyes and only reveal bits of information until they are…
A hysterical sequel, 22 Jump Street brings back the clueless adult cops, but this time sends them to college where frat parties, football games, and open mic nights are the way of life. I’ll admit, I didn’t think that I’d be watching two 21 Jump Street films in the same week. I had never really…
A buddy comedy that sends two undercover cops back to high school to break up a drug ring, 21 Jump Street is a very funny film with a great cast. When the television show 21 Jump Street first hit the airwaves in 1987, it was all the rage. I am old enough to remember watching…
Realistic and captivating, All The President’s Men covers a literal hunt for the truth after five men are arrested for breaking into the Watergate complex during the Nixon era. I watched the movie Nixon recently, and I really enjoyed it, but when I was finished, I still had questions about the specifics of the Watergate…
A wild film about a group of revolutionaries and the military man who comes hunting for them 16 years later, One Battle After Another sports an excellent cast and some gorgeous cinematography. A film with a great cast is enough to entice anyone to see a movie. Filmmakers know it, actors know it, and audiences…
A solid 1980s crime drama, Street Smart, about a reporter who falls in with a pimp and his prostitutes, levels up heavily because of its cast. I had never heard of this film until a few months ago. I saw that someone else had watched it on Letterboxd and thought, a film with Christopher Reeve…
John Wick in Korean, but 4 years before John Wick ever came out? I am SO here for The Man From Nowhere and it is FANTASTIC! I’ll admit that, as usual, I went into this movie completely blind. I had added it to my list long ago and clicked play without reading anything further. Honestly,…
A fun little murder mystery film with personality, The Thursday Murder Club is packed with amazing actors and a whimsical tone. Netflix films can be a little bit hit or miss these days. It feels as if they are sometimes more interested in pumping out products, regardless of quality, just to have something new on…
With a focus on audio just as much as visual, Blow Out is a spectacular film about a sound engineer who accidentally witnesses and records a murder. A work way ahead of its time. I have to admit that when I see that John Travolta is in a film, a little voice inside me says,…
A beautiful and complicated fairytale of a film, The Fisher King is about two struggling NYC strangers who have been broken by the same event, as one asks the other for help finding the holy grail. There are some movies that just stick with you. They are so beautiful or so funny or so touching…
