My Top 5 Best Films of 2025

Watch the in-depth, SPOILER version on YouTube I’m not a movie critic, just someone that sees a lot of movies in theaters. When I go, I only see the stuff that looks interesting to me. Which means mostly action movies, especially superhero stuff, plus some sci-fi, a couple comedies and a horror movie or two.… Read More: My Top 5 Best Films of 2025 »

My Top 5 Best Films of 2024

I’m pretty picky about what movies I go see in the theater, and I mostly watch superhero movies and action flicks, so there’s probably some great movies not on my list because I didn’t see them. This list is definitely more my favorite movies of the year and not the “best” of 2024. Watch the… Read More: My Top 5 Best Films of 2024 »

My Top 5 Best Films of 2023

There’s a lot of great movies that I didn’t get around to seeing, so this is just the best of what I saw this year. Watch the detailed, SPOILER list on YouTube 5. The Creator – A beautiful looking sci-fi movie with some strong performances that never really end up breaking any new ground. 4.… Read More: My Top 5 Best Films of 2023 »

My Top 5 Best Films of 2021

Watch the SPOILER recap on YouTube 5. Dune: Part One– A fantastic-looking film that starts off strong but ends up feeling like it just goes on forever before stopping abruptly to set up a sequel. 4. Black Widow– While it hurts the plot a bit knowing how Natasha’s story ends, the scaled-back approach that focuses… Read More: My Top 5 Best Films of 2021 »

My Best and Worst Films of 2020

Due to the coronavirus, I only saw 6 films in theaters this year. I decided to just list them as my 3 favorites and 3 least favorites.

My Top 5 Best Films of 2019

A lot of average films this year, and I had a hard time finding enough above average movies to make a Top 5. Watch the more-detailed review on YouTube 5. John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum– Amazing action sequences and another strong performance from Keanu Reeves. Too much time is spent building up the lore,… Read More: My Top 5 Best Films of 2019 »

My Top 5 Best Films of 2018

Watch the full review on YouTube 5. Mission: Impossible – Fallout– An awesome action film, with well-conceived and well-filmed sequences, featuring Tom Cruise doing it all…including flying a helicopter. Most of the big twists are too obvious, and the movie runs a bit long. 4. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse– Innovative visuals that bring a comic… Read More: My Top 5 Best Films of 2018 »

My Top 5 Best Films of 2017

For my original reviews, click on the film’s title. I’ve only included 2017 films I’ve seen in the theater, but I will give an honorable mention to “Get Out.” I watched it at home on a laptop, but I think it could’ve been enhanced enough by seeing in on the big screen to have taken… Read More: My Top 5 Best Films of 2017 »

My Top 5 Best Films of 2016

5. Suicide Squad–Fun characters, solid concept and a perfect Harley Quinn. But, corny villain, uninspired fight scenes and a hit-and-miss take on The Joker don’t do the film any favors. (This will be an unpopular choice. I was ready to put “Batman v Superman” here, but changed my mind. I love what they did with… Read More: My Top 5 Best Films of 2016 »
