As a ancient history major, I also love me some good mythology. The stories people used to tell are just as important as what those people actually did. They tell us so much about the culture, how they thought, what they valued, and how they were raised. Gods of Egypt looks to not celebrate any …

Mustang
And here we are, the day before the Oscars, and I have just but one more film to plug before the big ceremony. It is unfortunate that I was only able to check out 2 of the 5 films nominated for Best Foreign Film, but 2 is better than none, and roughly on par with …

Triple 9
Say what you will about Triple 9‘s vague title, but I think we can all agree that it is a better title than just 999. This is one of the rare fun times where I actually know nothing about the film outside of movie posters and actors involved! But the director is John Hillcoat, who …

Son of Saul
Foreign films are always the hardest to watch before the Oscars. Not as hard as the documentary shorts, but one step below them. So just like last year and the year before, at most I can see is one or two of them. So I might as well watch the one that will win everything …

Boy & The World
Not all animated films are created equal. Disney and Pixar make a shit ton of content now, but for the most part, none of it anyone would really describe as experimental. The closest main stream somewhat experimental film I could come up with is Wall-E, just because of the lack of dialogue for a large …

99 Homes
If I had 99 Homes, I’d either sell at least 94 of them, or desperately look for one more home. It’s so fucking close to a cool number. Just think, 100 homes. You know what you could do with a 100 homes? No? Exactly. I’d realiz it was stupid within a week and then try …

The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out a Window and Disappeared
I have to type it out at least once, so here I go. The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out a Window and Disappeared (whew) is a movie actually recommended to me sometime last summer. Except it was a foreign flick and I had no way of watching it. But it has a lot of acclaim …

Results
Results, aka one of he many films I would have never known to exist if not for the Spirit Awards. Except unlike a lot of Spirit Award films, I was actually a bit excited to watch this one. I knew the main members of the cast! Hooray for familiarity! New things scare me. It was …

Touched With Fire
Just like you, I didn’t know a lot about Touched With Fire before watching it. (Okay, I guess for most of you, you probably haven’t seen it either). Virtually no advertising, a super limited release, and well, that is all that I need to say. It is of course based on a book, and some …
