Before Tom Cruise and Christopher McQuarrie made four “Mission: Impossible” movies together, their first collaboration as star and director was on the 2012 Lee Child adaptation “Jack Reacher.” This is a thrilling take on the Child book with Cruise nailing the intensity and moral compass of the title character as he navigates a mystery involving a m...
This movie is an absolute blast. Inspired by a true story, “Hit Man” stars Glen Powell as a mild-mannered man who does contract work for the local police disguising himself as a hit man to catch people plotting murders on tape. But when he falls for one of his would-be criminals (a woman played by Adria Arjona), he finds himself caught between two ...
One of the wildest Best Picture Oscar-winners in recent memory, A24’s “Everything Everywhere All at Once” is a multiverse family drama starring Michelle Yeoh as a woman who runs a laundromat with her husband. When she’s being audited by the IRS, she gets a peek into her life in various different realities, which range from the exciting to the actio...
Before Rian Johnson made “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” or the “Knives Out” movies, he wrote and directed this unique sci-fi thriller with a brilliant twist. “Looper” takes place in a world in which time travel has not been invented yet but will be, and in the future criminals send targets back in time to be murdered in the past, thus disposing of the ...
“Back to the Future” is not only one of the best film trilogies of all time, it’s also one of the most bingeable. The original 1985 film is a bona fide classic with Michael J. Fox playing Marty McFly, a high schooler who accidentally travels back in time and interacts with his parents as high schoolers (played by Lea Thompson and Crispin Glover). 1...
The film that really put Timothee Chalamet on the map, “Call Me by Your Name” is one of the most deeply felt love stories ever put to screen. Filmmaker Luca Guadagnino transports the viewer to a time and place, yes, but also exudes the feeling of lust, love and possibility throughout. Chalamet plays a 17-year-old vacationing with his family in Ital...
A delightful romantic comedy with a teen twist, “Easy A” is also a terrific showcase for the charms and talent of Emma Stone. The eventual Oscar winner stars in this 2010 film as a high school student named Olive who, in a bid to help her friend who’s being bullied for being gay, offers to pretend to have sex with him. Olive soon gets a bit of a re...
Sam Mendes’ one-shot World War I film earned a boatload of Oscars, and deservedly so. The film is presented as one long, unbroken take (for which cinematographer Roger Deakins won an Academy Award) as it follows a soldier played by George MacKay through one day on the battlefield in April, 1917. It’s an astounding accomplishment and best watched wi...
With “Brats” hitting Hulu this month, now’s the perfect time to revisit John Hughes’ perfect “The Breakfast Club.” The 1985 film chronicles a single day of Saturday detention for five high school students, all from different backgrounds/cliques, and finds them bonding in surprising ways. The level at which this film gets the teenage struggle remain...
Before “The Florida Project” or “Red Rocket,” filmmaker Sean Baker burst onto the scene with his 2015 comedy “Tangerine” – shot entirely on an iPhone. Kitana Kiki Rodriguez stars as a trans sex worker living in Los Angeles who finds out that her boyfriend and pimp has been cheating on her. While it looks like an indie and tackles some heavy materia...
