Hereditary: 8/10

I was disappointed by Midsommar so I did not have high hopes for Hereditary—but it proved to be a delightful slow burn. I found it similar to The Exorcist in that the supernatural...

Rango: 8/10


A wonderfully animated love letter to spaghetti westerns and a time long past. The character design and sheer detail puts modern studios like Sony and Illumination to shame.

Most of those on your list are classic favorites but I have a very low opinion of Boondocks Saints. Seems to me to be a C-tier Tarantino wannabe.

Paths of Glory isn't a war film for people who like war films. It is gripping, but not because of it's action scenes. It is intense, but not in a violent way. Primarily it functions as a hard-hitting...

I actually found Platoon to be feeling more contrived. Maybe it's the acting of Charlie Sheen that rubs me the wrong way.
