An Ode to James Gunn
Somehow it feels like James Gunn is a true veteran director, but actually he has only directed six feature films in seventeen years. That’s not nothing and is in itself impressive (how many people have actually directed six features?).
My Top 10 Favorite Elevated Horror Movies
Let’s start of with this: I hate the name elevated horror.
The New Movie Going Experience in 2023
As someone who still regularly goes to movies, I’ve seen things change recently.
Best Movies of 2022 – Second Draft
When I wrote the first version of this list, I was a bit down on the films of 2022, but given this much time and the opportunity to see more movies from last year, I have somewhat changed my mind.

The Positive Side of Stale Superhero Movies
I am going to start this by basically proving myself wrong, but I think you still might want to hear me out.
My favorite superhero movie is Batman Returns. Yes, still. After over 30 years, huge leaps in CGI, and billions of dollars being spent into making those movies with a lot of talent behind them, and yet, the movie I like the most is still a weird little personal piece, which was only a hit, because it was a sequel to an actual popular movie.
Exploring Sight & Sound Poll of 2022
I have bad news for you… Just sit down and take a deep breath. Ready? Okay.
I found a way in which Tilda Swinton is kind of boring.
