• The Best Movies of 2022 (and the Five Worst)

  By Christian DiMartino One thing I like about doing a year in review thingy is that it serves as a document of where my taste was at this point in time. I won’t lie though: often times I place a movie in my top spot, and some time down the road, my opinion changes. Not…

• A Trip Back To: Top Gun: Maverick (2022)

  

  Allow me to address the elephant in the room: I never reviewed Top Gun: Maverick. That’s right. I’ve talked about it briefly, but that’s pretty much been the extent of it. Truth is, from about mid-February until about mid-June, I was in a creative funk. I started regaining the itch to write again around the…

• Mid-Year Movie Midterm: 2022

  

  By Christian DiMartino I will be honest, I rarely ever release a “Best of the Year So Far” list because usually by around June there might be like one or two movies that really wows me, and the rest range from “pretty good” and on. In 2022, I’m not going to lie, I’ve been really…

• “Magnolia” and Me: My Undying Love For (Perhaps) My Favorite Movie

  

  By Christian DiMartino Chances are, anybody who has seen Paul Thomas Anderson’s Magnolia has had… some reaction to it. Released in 1999, the film opened to reviews that were all over the place. Some thought it to be an absolute mess; some thought it to be a masterpiece; some thought it to be 2/3rd’s of…

• Review: Jack Reacher: Never Go Back

  1/2 By Christian DiMartino Never go back? Hey. Don’t tell me what to do. Contrary to the title, Tom Cruise is BACK as Jack Reacher in Jack Reacher: Never Go Back, the sequel to Jack Reacher, for those of us who still remember. That film wasn’t bad, per se, but considering what Cruise is capable of, one…
