Any list of the Best Films of 2025 should go like this:
1. Sinners
2. The Rest
This is not to say there weren't a TONNE of amazing films in 2025, it was a really good year for film!
But Sinners is an all-time masterpiece and Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan deserve their flowers! #Sinners

Look, I'm sure that Nolan's adaptation of "The Odyssey" will be fun, but I highly doubt it will be as good as the original.

The people yearn for dense, walkable urban areas with public plazas!
Americans are hungry for community. So why don’t we have more European-style squares? | CNN
As travel abroad has become common for more Americans, many have enjoyed Europe’s vibrant squares. Why doesn’t the United States have more of that kind of gathering spot and is change afoot?

My 80-year-old aunt told me she "got tired of streaming" and is borrowing DVDs from her library again.
So I checked it out and they have an amazing selection. Blu-rays too, from Criterion, Kino Lorber and other boutique labels.

To paraphrase Margaret Sullivan in her fantastic book, "Ghosting the News," just because a given area doesn't have news coverage, it doesn't mean news isn't happening.
More than likely, it means the exact opposite.
