Clearing a spot on my 2022 Best Of Film list as we speak.īoy oh boy, do I love a heist movie. And never has my body whiplashed back and forth between a belly laugh and sheer horror so quickly. Never has there been such a scathing use of notes app apology. Never have I been so worried about bacterial cultures. Exceptional performances from RJ Cyler ( Me, Earl, and the Dying Girl), Donald Elise Watkins, and Sebastian Chacon make this films tightrope walk between genres possible, and the screenplay by KD Davila deserves a round of shots (or an Oscar nomination depending on what kind of party we're at). Equal parts horrifying and hilarious, it never pulls punches for the sake of the audience, but still somehow manages to be an incredibly watchable romp.

With strong buzz coming out of Sundance and SXSW, the film follows a trio of POC college seniors whose typical 'get to the party' comedy shenanigans are cut short when they find a white girl passed out in their living room. That sounds awful.' And yet that is exactly how I'd pitch Emergency, which is shaping up to be one of the best films of the year.

If someone pitched me a movie by saying 'It's like Booksmart meets The Hate U Give', I would immediately say, 'No thanks. Everybody has one' even though that sounds like a line Deadpool would also say. It should also be noted (as it is on Wikipedia) that this is not The Dead Pool, the Dirty Harry action film in which Clint Eastwood says, 'Opinions are like assholes. Foremost a comedy, this film will appeal to viewers who are less into Captain America and more into Seth Rogen. (If we want to get into the weeds, this film and its sequel were made by 20th Century Fox prior to the Disney/Fox merger, so while these were outside of the Marvel Cinematic Universe umbrella, Deadpool now falls under their jurisdiction and will be introduced into the MCU with a third film that's in the works and will cross over with the X-Men who are also now MCU material, but I digress.) Deadpool breaks the fourth wall, swears, and is out to get the man who scarred his body and gave him superpowers. Ryan Reynolds brings his irreverent wit and crass charm to the Marvel antihero who is technically a part of the X-Men franchise. In a market flooded with superheroes, supervillains, and superpowers, there is only one Deadpool. (The Mount Rushmore for film donkeys btw is Donkey, Eeyore, Pinocchio as a donkey boy, and the donkey Mary and Joseph rode on). For my Shrek-obsessed Gen Z crew, this is also the film that originated the line, 'That'll do pig, that'll do,' which was repurposed for Donkey. It is also a WILD bit of trivia that Mad Max: Fury Road director George Miller was a producer on this film and the director of its sequel Babe: Pig in the City, which is not nearly as good as the quaint original.

Babe, a pig who really wants to be a sheep dog, is the star of this Oscar darling, which was a technological feat and won the visual effects Oscar for giving the pig facial expressions and a voice. Babe, however, is a very special pig as I am fairly certain he is the only lead pig in a Best Picture nominee (a remarkable achievement in pig representation, especially for 1995). If there were a Mount Rushmore for movie pigs (and honestly, there should be), I would argue the four immortalized swine would be Wilbur (obviously, he is number one as he is 'some pig'), Miss Piggy, Hamm from Toy Story, and Babe (sorry to the titular pig from Pig). Chris's best work since he fell in that fountain in Princess Diaries 2.

The film looks expensive, the mystery is compelling, and a series of twists will keep you on the edge of your seat.

After their CIA team botched a hostage situation that resulted in the deaths of an entire plane full of civilians, the pair moved on only to reconnect and attempt to unravel what exactly happened all those years ago. Set over a sumptuous food-porn dinner (think Pig without the Nic Cage grunting), Pine and Newton discuss their days working in Vienna years earlier, where their relationship, as coworkers and lovers, disintegrated. What could have easily been a run-of-the-mill spy thriller based on a novel (think Jack Reacher or Jack Ryan) is elevated by a creative storyline and unsurprisingly good performances by the all-star cast consisting of Pine, Thandiwe Newton, Laurence Fishburne, and Jonathan Pryce. In the ongoing debate over which of the four Chrises is the best, this is certainly a strike in the favor of Mr.
