Rewatching BATMAN BEGINS and I can't help but notice modern superhero films rarely have this kind of epic sense of grandeur anymore. BEGINS partially rocks because the first hour simply rules and we don't even see Bale as Batman until over an hour into the film.

Two years ago OPPENHEIMER was released in theaters. This moment in IMAX 70mm was life changing. I’ll never forget the chills that went down my spine. Happy anniversary to one of my favorite films of all time.

BATMAN BEGINS will always be my favorite Batman film for scenes like this. Christopher Nolan made Bruce Wayne a fully formed, multi-dimensional character for the first time in live-action. It's hard to explain how much of a breath of fresh air this was back in 2005.

Me reacting to the rumor Paramount destroyed the IMAX 70mm prints of INTERSTELLAR and the planned re-release is cancelled.

This would not have had the same impact watching it for the first time on Netflix.

I’m always happy to see THE DARK KNIGHT RISES discourse. Tom Hardy’s Bane is truly a phenomenal villain. Jonathan Nolan pitched the film as “What if the villain finally won?” and honesty the film rules because of moments like this.

I’m sorry but Ryan Gosling has always been a tremendous actor who elevates everything he’s in. Here is unequivocal evidence.

Yes, I’m one of those that loves MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE III. It’s so relentlessly high octane that it literally runs through the plot, but it helps redefine the series and the relationships around Ethan, plus Philip Seymour Hoffman is utterly fantastic.

Rewatched MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - FALLOUT. This is the most straight forward "action thriller" of the franchise. It's also the M:I film where the Christopher Nolan influences feel very prominent, from the editing to Lorne Balfe's incredible score. The most thrilling M:I film.

I’m super excited to hear what Nine Inch Nails is going to do with the TRON: ARES score, but I just want to take a moment to appreciate Daft Punk’s immeasurably great work on TRON: LEGACY. I miss Daft Punk so much.

I rewatched SUPERMAN RETURNS last night. I'm in the minority of people that genuinely enjoy this film, but I still think it was a mistake cutting the "Return to Krypton" sequence. I honestly think the first 35 minutes could be re-edited and it would be a much stronger film.

I’m beyond elated THE BONE TEMPLE has invaded the timeline again so we can share all of the film’s awesome moments, but I really wish the film had been embraced more by audiences in theaters.

I can’t get Hans Zimmer’s love theme from DUNE: PART TWO out of my head. I’ve been humming it ever since I saw the film. Hans really knocked it out of the park with PART TWO.

AD ASTRA is one of the most underrated science-fiction films of the last several years. James Gray's contemplative, at times surrealistic voyage into deep space is both beautifully minimalist and emotionally immense. This sequence in IMAX was quietly immersive and awe-inspiring.

ROGUE NATION is my favorite MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE film. The airbus scene or the motorcycle chase are usually highlighted, but the opera sequence is my favorite part in the film. Christopher McQuarrie’s visual direction is simply impeccable.

12 years ago I was sitting in the Navy Pier IMAX theater watching THE DARK KNIGHT RISES. This film gets a bad rap. It's a wonderful, beautiful, poetic end to Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy. It's one of the most satisfying closing chapters of any trilogy.
