I am a straight up sucker. Just take my money. Seriously. Take my money. This is the dark truth of my movie consumption habits. A fatal flaw I’ve had to accept in my nearly 30 years of vociferous cinematic devouring. When people decry audience “sheep” who will see anything – I’m the sheep! I am […]
For the past four years, I’ve been ranking every film I see- just the new releases, from January 1st to December 31st. The rankings are subjective, based entirely on how much I enjoyed and/or connected with or appreciated the film rather than on some sort of objective artistic criteria.

This year we fell for everything from prestige fare to jazz biopics to fascinating small movies that many other folks overlooked. The […]
As I said in our awards announcement (and everyone has said basically every day for awhile now), this was not humanity’s best year. But, you know what, it wasn’t our worst either.
