With Matt Reeve's The Batman introducing us to his take on some familiar faces in the Batman Universe, we thought we'd see where they stack up against the Best Batman Movie Villains of All Time: #20. Colin Farrell as The Penguin (The Batman) Colin Farrell's a phenomenal actor. But I couldn't help but think, "why not just cast a fat ugly guy in this role instead of caking a hunk in prosthetics?" This is America, surely there's no shortage of overweight ugly people out there, r

While he may not be a household name like many of his early VHS generation contemporaries, Paul Thomas Anderson is still one of the greatest filmmakers alive today. And even though he didn't get his long overdue Academy acknowledgement last night (fuckin CODA), we decided we'd still like to honor the phenomenal visionary the best way we know how - by assigned arbitrary rankings to incredible works of art in a sad attempt to spark conversation around actual films instead of th

The Top Tier in this Year's recap is dedicated to the best of the best, unimpeachable standard of quality set by fashion icon - Dan Flash. These are the industry gold medalists that all of entertainment should aspire to and can be priced at easily over $1000 because of how complex their tapestry of filmmaking artistry has been woven. First up is a sequel to the third remake of a 40 year old slasher movie... #9. Halloween Kills While David Gordon Green's 2018 re-quel garnered

Listen, I mean no disrespect to Kelly Rowland. She's an incredibly talented and beautiful young woman. She even made me giggle a few times in the critically adored Freddy v.s. Jason. But next to Beyonce, we ALL pale in comparison. This tier is dedicated to her and all the runners up out there not quite dynamic enough to flourish on the grandest stage. #33. Those Who Wish Me Dead Taylor Sheridan's latest throwback, neo-western thriller finds Angelina Jolie protecting a young b

The Middle Tier finds the inoffensive, middle of the road films that can best be described as average or slightly above. Fine. Like a Hershey Bar. There have been so many improvements on the candy bar at this point that a simple chocolate bar pales in comparison. It's still chocolate, it's just not anything to get all that excited about. It'll float around in the candy jar until all the better options are taken. #59. The Tragedy of Macbeth Maybe it's just the apple+ logo that

The Next Tier finds us with the bad but not entirely terrible films of 2021. If you're desperate enough, you can find some redeemable qualities in these titles - not unlike the music of Limp Bizkit. It's not perfect by any means but be honest, they've got a few songs that can get your head nodding here and there. #78. Coming 2 America After his long overdue return to the SNL stage, I was so ready for the Eddie Murphy revival. But Coming 2 America is a flaccid PG-13 follow up

Season 2 of COVID-19 had me watching a shit load of movies. More than I ever have in any one year. I'll say it, TOO many. And yet there were so many I didn't even bother with. Jungle Cruise, Red Notice, F9, other movies that don't star the Rock...but these were the worst movies I actually took the time to finish. Unlike Venom 2. I turned that shit off right away. Anyways, this is the bottom tier - the Big Ol' Motha Fucking Duffle Bags of Shit. #100. Malignant I'm not a huge J

With Jordan Peele's take on Candyman finally hitting the big screen and reboots, re-quels, re-imaginings and remakes no longer considered a hate crime against the horror genre - here are our nominees for the Top 10 films that could benefit from a modern day update. #10. Phantasm directed by Gareth Evans starring Logan Marshall-Green as Jody Thomas Jane as Reggie Noah Schnapp as Mike Doug Jones as The Tall Man Don Coscarelli's 1979 cult classic has all the makings of a horror

Since the success of AMC's The Walking Dead, zombies have had a huge resurgence within the horror genre over the past decade so we've decided to take a look back at the Best Zombie Movies of All Time: #10. Zombieland There's always been something kind of funny about the living dead, once you get passed the whole undying hunger for human flesh thing. Ruben Fleischer takes you on a road trip across a post-apocalyptic zombie outbreak with an incredible ensemble cast featuring Wo

Our top tier is a little smaller than normal and this is exactly why we don't stick to a top 10 list. Some years, there just really aren't 10 great films released. Last year we extended it to 12. But 2020 wreaked havoc on Hollywood, shuffling releases all over the calendar and limiting the vast majority of their output to at home releases. Which meant very little tent pole blockbusters and a scattered roll out of award contenders that felt very much like studios were holding

The 2nd tier in our Year in Tiers recap consists of the runners up. Quality films that just don't quite get the same shine the marquee stars do. Sidekicks. Like good ol' Scottie Pippen. He's a phenomenal #2 (maybe the best ever) but he's just not a #1. Plain and simple. #23. The Devil All The Time A dark look at the gritty underbelly of the old South with an absolutely stacked ensemble cast, The Devil All The Time is a fairly captivating crime drama that can't quite tie toget

The middle tier of our yearly recap finds the middle of the road, serviceable yet flavorless efforts that are good enough but not all that remarkable. Like a tall glass of tap water. It'll clench your thirst but it's hardly anyone's first drink of choice. #46. Color Out of Space Yet another glowing love letter to the b-horror 1980's, Color Out of Space does very little to differentiate itself from the ever growing sub-genre of nostalgia horror. But aside from the synth heavy

Tier 4 finds the decidedly bad but not unwatchable movies of the year. And since 2020 had us all locked inside with very little to do, it's more than likely we found ourselves lowering our standards for some cheap entertainment. Which is probably why this is 2020's largest tier. We were all like a kid staying home sick from school, channel surfing day time television for the least worst options. And nothing says least worst daytime television like Maury. #74. Bloodshot I'm ho

It's a couple of months later than usual so that we could include all of the 2020 Oscar eligible films released, but here we are with the first installment of our Year in Tiers recap of the Best and Worst films 2020 had to offer. As always, I'll preface this with the note that obviously there are some dogshit terrible films out there that didn't make this list but these are the worst films we actually took the time to finish and intrigued us enough to seek them out in the fir

After a fairly dreadful decade of horror in the 2000's, the 2010's saw a resurgence of original premises and groundbreaking first time filmmakers flourishing in a low budget / high concept creative safe haven that held it's own against the tent-pole franchise frenzy of superhero cinema. Here were this decade's best horror films: #20. Fright Night The incredible ensemble of Anton Yelchin, Colin Farrell, Toni Collette, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, David Tennant and Imogeen Poots n

In a decade that will likely be looked back upon for it's franchise frenzied, superhero spectacle tent-pole films and the dawn of the binge streaming age; the 2010's featured a bevy of incredible films as well. It was surprisingly difficult to narrow the list down to just twenty, with runners up like the only signature comedy film of the decade (Bridesmaids), Richard Linklater's 12 year encapsulation of growing up in modern America (Boyhood), 2 new testaments to the genius of

With the long awaited (?) third installment of the Bad Boys franchise reuniting buddy cop duo Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, we look at where the pair ranks among the best on screen buddy cops of all time. #10. Hot Fuzz While Edgar Wright's follow up to his breakout hit Shaun of the Dead wasn't quite as spectacular as his debut, the biggest redeeming factor Hot Fuzz has (other than the phenomenal ending after a sluggish start) is the chemistry between Simon Pegg and Nick Fro

Top tier consists of the best of the best, undisputed heavyweight champions of the world. I usually try to keep it to 10 but this year had so many great movies I felt bad leaving 11 & 12 out. So here is the measuring stick all 2019 movies have to be measured against, the Beatles. #12. 1917 There are plenty of war films out there, but none of them look and feel like 1917 does. It's an absolute cinematic marvel, a visual spectacle the likes of which are best experienced on the

The fourth tier consists of great movies that are just a step behind the best. The consummate silver medalists, the runners up, the Karl Malones. #27. The Kid Vincent D'Onofrio delivers one hell of a western with his directorial debut, there's really just one major thing holding it back - Chris Pratt. The rest of the cast, highlighted by standout performances from Ethan Hawke and Dane DeHaan, is absolutely remarkable. But I've seen very little proof that Chris Pratt can play

This third tier is the "Just Fine" group of average or slightly above flicks that are passable but it wouldn't be the end of the world if you never got around to seeing them. Basic but filling. Like a Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich. #57. Just Mercy As heartbreaking as the true story is, this courtroom drama drags on well past it's welcome. Michael B. Jordan and Brie Larson feel utterly wasted and the predictable plot lacks any energy or passion whatsoever. It's such a painf
