The 10 Best Movies Of 2018

Okay, it’s that time of year again, the time of year I swear I’m not going to make a best-of list, only to cave and ultimately do just that. At this point, you’re probably sick of hearing me rant about how I hate ranking movies, pitting them against one another, and stating that one is objectively better than another. I don’t believe that’s true. What I put stock in is personal preference. And that’s what this list is. It’s not a “ten best movies” list, that should be readily apparent, it’s a “my ten (or whatever number) favorite movies list.” 

Top 10 Films Of SIFF 2017

Another Seattle International Film Festival has come and gone. That means I spent the bulk of the last six weeks (preview screenings start well before the 25-day festival gets rolling proper) working full time at my day job then spending every available free moment in a movie theater, waiting in line outside a movie theater, or at a computer writing about what I watched inside a movie theater (or, to be honest, sitting on my couch as there are more and more screeners every year).

DVD Review: 'Best of Warner Bros. 20 Film Collection: Best Pictures'

Hey, did you know that this is the 90^th anniversary of Warner Bros.? To celebrate the nine-tenths of a century mark the studio is releasing a handful of “Best Of” collections from their long, distinguished history.

“Best of Warner Bros. 20 Film Collection: Best Pictures” is pretty much exactly what it sounds like. This is an anthology, one that contains 20 films from the Warner archives, all of which walked off with the Best Picture Academy Award. Crazy, huh? Arranged chronologically, and split into three historical epochs, the films run from early “talkies” to modern crime dramas. There is a little bit of everything, including musicals, war stories, historical dramas, westerns, and epic adventures in various eras and realms.

Brent's Top Ten Films Of 2012

I couldn’t think of any clever or interesting takes on the end of the year list, so I’m going to stick with the old standby: the top ten (or so). These aren’t necessarily intended to be the best movies of the year in an objective sense. That’s a tough case to make for many of these. Regardless, here are my favorites of the year.
