Godzilla [4K UHD, Criterion] What is it? A kaiju classic. Why see it? Ishiro Honda’s 1954 monster movie has grown over the decades to become something bigger than life — and bigger than a mere creature feature. From it’s socio-political commentary on war and human nature to its dozens of sequels, reboots, and spinoffs, Godzilla […]
Fluke [KL Studio Classics] What is it? An underseen classic. Why see it? James Herbert’s novels don’t seem like a likely source of family entertainment, and his original novel isn’t quite the warm and fuzzy feel good time that the movie aims for, but here we are.

Brick [4K UHD, KL Studio Classics] What is it? A high school noir. Why see it? It feels somewhat diminishing to label this simply as a high school noir, but that sets a legitimate vibe going in for a film that soon blossoms into something far more. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is a teen a bit wiser […]

Bringing Our the Dead [4K UHD, Paramount Presents] What is it? An EMT struggles with his late night shifts. Why see it? Martin Scorsese’s filmography features all manner of films, most of which are somebody’s favorite. The big ones are obvious, and my personal pick is After Hours, but for some fans, their preferred Scorsese […]
Wind River [4K UHD, steelbook] What is it? A tracker and an FBI agent investigate a woman’s death. Why see it? Taylor Sheridan is best known these days for his television empire including Yellowstone, 1883, and more, but his feature work is equally compelling stuff. This thriller sets its sights on a sad truth that […]
