Movie Breakdown: F1

Pre-Screening Stance: I love Top Gun: Maverick, so I’m in on Joseph Kosinski-directed films for the foreseeable future. With that being said, he certainly made it easy for me here by going with another slab...

Movie Breakdown: 28 Years Later

Pre-Screening Stance: Even if the fellas behind the original film – director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland – hadn’t returned for 28 Years Later, I’d still be very eager to check it out simply...

Movie Breakdown: Black Bag

Pre-Screening Stance: A spy thriller directed by Steven Soderbergh that stars Michael Fassbender and Cate Blanchett? Yes. I mean, even if it’s not awesome (or even good), it’ll at least be interesting. Post-Screening Ramble: Black...
