Best of 2017 I have been having such an issue deciding on the best way to create a “Best of 2017” list. I started by trying to rank movies, but found it nearly impossible. Then I decided I wanted to do a top 30, but that is pretty ridiculous. I finally decided I am going…

Faces Places
I have been terrible this year at keeping up with documentaries and foreign films, so I am glad I was able to make it to Faces Places to check off two boxes. It also gave me the excuse to go to one of my favorite theaters around here, which is a retro classic cinema on…
Phantom Thread
Boogie Nights is one of my favorite films, so it is actually a little shameful how few Paul Thomas Anderson movies I have seen in total. I knew that I would be seeing this due to my Oscar goal, but for some reason none of previews for Phantom Thread “spoke” to me. I don’t know…
Call Me By Your Name
Oh. Boy. You. Guys. I have been waiting for this movie for what feels like ages. When I first saw the trailer with Armie Hammer in his shorty shorts biking down the streets of northern Italy with a white shirt billowing behind him, I was hooked. After a heavy recommendation from a friend, I picked…
2017 Catch Up- Raw, The Trip to Spain, Logan, and Split
Raw- I tweeted after watching Raw- I’m on a Raw food diet, it’s where you make a frozen pizza but then it just sits on the counter because it is physically impossible to eat while watching this movie. I dry heaved about 5 times, and that is probably the highest praise you can give a…
The Post
* I was lucky enough to discuss The Post on this week’s Mad About Movies Podcast, check it out!* The Post is intimidating on paper. Steven Spielberg, Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks, and a huge ensemble cast. Considering the subject matter and the current political climate, I knew this could have been one of the best…
The Florida Project
I have an inane goal to see all of the Best Picture nominees before they are announced, so when I saw The Florida Project was coming back into theaters briefly, I bopped one town over for a showing. As a Georgia native, I have intimate knowledge about Florida and its weird hodgepodge of regions. However,…
2017 Catch Up- Atomic Blonde, Brigsby Bear, I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore, and Landline
Atomic Blonde- I was saying for weeks that I would see this in theaters and I just never got to it, and honestly I’m surprised and disappointed in myself. Cold War, badass spies, Charlize Theron? Recipe for a bitchin’ time. And it was. Thoroughly dark and a little convoluted while packed with action scenes, what…
The Greatest Showman
If it wasn’t for MoviePass and getting back in town before my friends after the holidays, I would not have caught The Greatest Showman in theaters. Don’t get me wrong, I am a sucker for musicals. I have a theory that Mamma Mia 2 will get surprisingly good reviews. Maybe that is just wishful thinking….
I, Tonya
I have been anticipating I, Tonya for way too long. A Coen Brothers style look into the mysterious knee bashing in the high stakes world of figure skating? I mean concept alone that is buckwild. Add onto that a killer cast (Robbie, Janney, my future husband Sebastian Stan) and I was pushing all my friends…
Movie with Meg
