Three Overrated Recent Releases: Thanksgiving, Eileen,& Dream Scenario
The three movies we’ll be taking a look at today are all films that, due to what I expected of them going in, were big letdowns. These movies all received very good reviews from critics, but I found each to be undeserving of such high praise.
Reviewing the Best Movies Ever Made: In the Mood for Love, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Lawrence of Arabia
A romance, a Western, and an adventure film are featured in this eighth edition of Reviewing the Best Movies Ever Made. In the Mood for Love is one of only five films in this series to come out after the year 2000, while the other two movies we’ll review here were released in the 1960s.
January 2024 Early Month Movie Reviews: Saltburn, Anatomy of a Fall, Poor Things
There are countless movies released every month, but oftentimes it feels like it’s the same generic films coming out over and over again. That’s not the case with any of the three very unique movies we’ll be taking a look at in this first movie review post of 2024.
2023: Best and Worst of the Year Awards
It’s that time of year again — that time for the year to be over! I can only hope that 2024 will be filled with as many great movies, TV shows, and video games as this past one was, because when it came to all three categories 2023 really delivered.
Reviewing the Best Movies Ever Made: Pulp Fiction, Gone with the Wind, 2001: A Space Odyssey
Three very different movies from three different eras of cinema are featured in this seventh part of Reviewing the Best Movies Ever Made. Will any of these films score a 9/10 or better, or are they more overrated films that don’t hold up quite as well by today’s standards?
December 2023 Movie Reviews (Oppenheimer, The Killer, May December)

November 2023 Movie Reviews (A Haunting in Venice, Dumb Money, Saw X)
As I slowly come to terms with the fact that it’s getting colder outside and there’s nothing I can do to stop it, let’s review some recent 2023 releases you can enjoy while you’re cozy by the fireplace.
Reviewing the Best Movies Ever Made: Singin’ in the Rain, The Shawshank Redemption, The Return of the King

Horror Time: Rewatching 3 Scary Movie Classics for Halloween (Psycho, The Exorcist, The Shining)
With All Hallows’ Eve quickly approaching, I decided to rewatch some of the most well-known (and supposedly scariest) horror films ever made. Just how scary are they and how do they hold up by 2023 standards?
October Movie Reviews (The Beasts, Totally Killer, Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning, Part One)
This month so far, I’ve watched three new releases: a French movie you probably haven’t heard of, Amazon Prime’s newest horror film (just in time for Halloween), and Tom Cruise’s latest Mission: Impossible blockbuster.
September Movie Reviews (Talk to Me, The Two Towers, Cassandro)
This month, we’ll take possession of an embalmed hand to talk to the dead, journey towards Mordor with Frodo and Sam, and step into the ring with Cassandro. Are any of these undertakings worthwhile? It’s time to find out as we go over the movies Jeff’s watched this September.
Reviewing the Best Movies Ever Made: The Fellowship of the Ring, Mulholland Drive, The Dark Knight
Each of the three films in this entry came out in the early 2000s, meaning that they’re some of the newer films on our list. While they might’ve all came out around the same time, I definitely felt very differently about each of them in terms of their quality and how well they hold up.
Reviewing the Best Movies Ever Made: Raging Bull, Man with a Movie Camera, The Wizard of Oz
A boxer with an attitude problem, a man with a movie camera, and a girl who just wants to get back to Kansas are all in the spotlight in this entry into the Reviewing the Best Movies Ever Made series.
August Movie Reviews (The Night of the 12th, Chevalier, The Babadook)

Reviewing the Best Movies Ever Made: Citizen Kane, The Godfather, Schindler’s List
When I set out to review the best movies ever made in this series, I found that five movies appeared on more than one of the “Best Movies Ever” lists I was using. In this first post, I’ll take a look at three of those films.
Reviewing The Best Movies Ever Made (A New Upcoming Series of Posts)
Over the next few months, I’ll be watching 25 of the films considered to be the greatest to ever grace the silver screen and giving my opinions on them, along with ratings and thoughts as to how they each hold up in 2023.
Mid July Movie Reviews (Blood & Gold, Asteroid City, The Patriot)
As we pass the middle of the month, let’s take a look back at three movies I’ve watched recently – one that was a little better than expected, one a little worse, and one that’s exactly the type of movie you’d want to watch when celebrating America’s birthday.
Early June Movie Reviews (John Wick: Chapter 4, Sisu, Blackberry)
Well, folks, it’s that time again. Three motion pictures that I had looked forward to watching made their way from a place I seldom go (the movie theater), to a place I often go (the couch). Let’s take a look at each of them!
More May Movie Reviews: Three Films Worth Watching (The Covenant,Air, Dungeons & Dragons)
There’s a lot of junk out there when it comes to movies, so it’s always a pleasant surprise when I manage to watch three movies that I’d recommend in a row – it’s like Tic-Tac-Toe, but with good films.
