Transference, a new dark sci-fi movie, is not good.

This documentary highlights the unknown heroes of the music industry: the Nashville songwriters. You probably don’t know the names of the people behind some of the greatest songs of all time, but here, they’re given their due.

Pixar has a new movie coming out this weekend! The animation studio has held itself to the utmost quality for almost 30 years now, but that’s proven to be both a blessing and a curse.

I think I’m just kind of compromised when it comes to reviewing dog movies? This one was pretty good though.

Blood On Her Name is a tightly focused thriller that asks what lengths we’ll go to conceal a murder.

Featuring two career-best performances from Ben Schwartz and Billy Crystal, this is a film about lives filled with regrets, whether it’s too late to make good on past mistakes, and doing your best to smile your way through it.

The Truth About Marriage is a simple but highly informative documentary about what makes relationships of all kinds work.

Sonic is good! Were you expecting different? ‘O ye, of little faith.

An incredibly stylized retelling of a classic fairy tale came out last weekend. It was pretty mesmerizing.

Weathering With You may not pack as much of an emotional punch as Your Name, but it’s still a beautiful and moving story nonetheless. Set in a Tokyo that’s facing relentless rainfall, it has a radical take on climate change: optimism.

Dark Waters is one of the many brilliant films getting snubbed this award season, which is a real shame. Both it and its spiritual sibling - The Report - are incredibly vital stories that need to be seen by as many people as possible. I wrote about the two films and what makes them so important.

The climax of this movie involves Robert Downey Jr. shoving a leek up a dragon’s ass to remove skeletons and bagpipes from its rectum. The dragon thanks him by farting in his face. In another scene, a tiger named Barry gets kicked in the balls by a gorilla and cries “My Barry berries!”. Dolittle is both the life and death of cinema.

It’s a mix of Alien and Dead Space, but set at the bottom of the ocean. A great setting for a survival horror movie, Underwater delivers decent thrills but never quite makes the jump from good to great.

My Hindu Friend is the final movie from Argentina-born Brazilian filmmaker Hector Babenco. He was the first Latin American to ever be nominated for Best Director at the Oscars. This movie details the time in his life when he underwent extensive medical treatment for cancer, and contemplated life, death, and the point of either one. Sounds like a downer, but Babenco infuses moments of grotesquely funny surrealism into the film. Thanks to a stunning performance from the always amazing Willem Dafoe, it’s a beautiful send off for a historical director.

I was deeply moved by Honey Boy. Vulnerable and honest in its writing, beautifully directed, and impeccably acted, it plays like a form of therapy not just for its creator, but for anyone who knows similar pain.
