Movie Breakdown: Wrath Of Man
Pre-Screening Stance: Guy Ritchie’s last film, 2020’s The Gentlemen, was rock solid, and I can always go for some Jason Statham. Wrath Of Man could be a winner. Post-Screening Ramble: There’s a lot going on...

Movie Breakdown: Things Heard & Seen
Pre-Screening Stance: I know American Splendor was released all the way back in 2003, but it’s exciting to me that its directors – Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini – did Things Heard & Seen....
Movie Breakdown: Without Remorse
Pre-Screening Stance: The last time that writer Taylor Sheridan (Yellowstone, Wind River, Sicario) worked with director Stefano Sollima, the result was the not-great-at-all Sicario: Day Of The Soldado. Here’s hoping Michael B. Jordan gets a...
Movie Breakdown: Mortal Kombat
Pre-Screening Stance: I don’t know if I’d say I’m excited for a new Mortal Kombat movie – between the original 90s film and last year’s surprisingly good animated effort, I’m set on that front –...

Movie Breakdown: We Broke Up
Pre-Screening Stance: Aya Cash was great in the most recent season of The Boys, and William Jackson Harper was great throughout the entirety of The Good Place. So yeah, I’m down for a rom-com that...
Movie Breakdown: Voyagers
Pre-Screening Stance: Neil Burger is very good at directing OK movies (see: The Illusionist, Limitless, Divergent), so that’s pretty much my expectation level heading into Voyagers. Post-Screening Ramble: For a while now I’ve seen Voyagers...
Movie Breakdown: The Power
Pre-Screening Stance: A few years ago I likely would have skipped right over a film exclusive to a niche service like Shudder, but these days I’m operating with a “sure, why not” policy. Also, to...
