The Odyssey (2026)

There is an unwritten rule in movie-going lore that I am still in pursuit of: seeing Lawrence of Arabia on the big screen (specifically in 70mm). While I have seen the film, I know experiencing it on the big screen is what makes it arguably the greatest of all film epics. While I have seen some epics in my life on the big screen (the LOTR trilogy, a re-release of Gone with the Wind), it is not often that I get to see a film that truly defines the term “epic”. 

Well, after predominantly sweeping the 96th Academy Awards with Oppenheimer, who better to satisfy that epic itch than Christopher Nolan?

Encanto (2021)

I am a sucker for many things in the movies, and one most definitely is when a film (animated or otherwise) has to do with a big family.

(Not to get too personal, but I have 6-8 siblings.)
