All Reviews
Every flick Nate has talked about, rated five stars or one.
Gladiator (2000)
The Greatest Movie of All Time - my all-time favorite, the gold standard of storytelling.
Jurassic World (2015)
A Masterclass in Nostalgia Done Right - a genuine, breathing continuation of Hammond's dream come true.
Hoppers (2026)
Stunning visuals can't save a shallow script - gorgeous animation carrying a story that underperforms.
Coyote vs. Acme (2026)
A clever, clean blend of live-action and Looney Tunes chaos that finally gives Wile E. Coyote his day in court.
Glass Onion (2022)
A razor-sharp whodunit packed with colorful suspects, clever misdirection, and modern Clue energy.
Jurassic World: Dominion (2022)
A visually impressive finale that trades suspense for spectacle and loses sight of what made the franchise roar.
Top Gun: Maverick (2022)
A worthy successor that soars on breathtaking aerial action, emotional payoff, and pure blockbuster spectacle.
Ocean's 11 (2001)
The ultimate gold standard for heist cinema, cool, clever, and endlessly rewatchable.
The Dark Knight (2008)
A masterpiece that transcends the superhero genre and redefines cinematic crime epics.
Joker (2019)
A shallow, disjointed misfire that betrays DC's legacy of heroism and hope.
Inspector Gadget (1999)
A joyful, chaotic, criminally underrated Saturday-morning classic.
Zootopia 2 (2025)
A gorgeous, well-crafted sequel that earns its stars while playing it a little too safe.
Elio (2025)
Perfectly okay, completely forgettable, and a warning sign for Pixar.
Jurassic Park (1993)
The ultimate cinematic gold standard, mistakes and all.
Lightyear (2022)
A departure from authenticity and tradition.
Napoleon (2023)
The R rating, the plot, and the star-studded cast.
Shutter Island (2010)
An intense puzzle box thriller you will want to rewatch the second it ends.
Matilda the Musical (2022)
A vibrant, big-hearted musical that leaves you with a song stuck in your head.
The Grinch (2018)
Another trip to Whoville, and somehow it still works.
Incredibles 2 (2018)
A great ride full of Jack-Jack chaos and Saturday morning nostalgia, held back by low rewatch value.
Venom (2018)
A slow start with a symbiote payoff. Spoiler free.
Home Alone (1990)
A holiday staple that captures the magic of Christmas with heart, hilarity, and a little darkness.
The Emoji Movie (2017)
Judged as a kids movie, it lands better than the internet says.
Trolls (2016)
An entertaining but annoying mixed bag of glitter, music, and heart.
Toy Story 2 (1999)
From direct-to-video rescue to a Pixar masterpiece. Still salty about the shipping.
