Now it is time for my favorite list of the year: the list of next year! As an eternal cinematic optimist, I always love to be the one to reassure you, dear reader, that there are plenty of amazing films to still be seen. One of the big...

UNSANE, Steven Soderbergh’s latest film, would be considered mostly forgettable if it did not have the distinctions of being both Soderbergh’s first horror film and filmed entirely on an iPhone. Beyond those two nuggets and some genuinely solid performances, UNSANE is largely disposable. The film’s primary focus is...
Good films do not necessarily require big budgets. Many of my favorite films of the past 10 years have been made on shoestring budgets, over weekends in friends’ houses. When it comes down to it, the best films are based in good stories, good acting, and passionate execution....
