This was my first year organizing the annual vote as co-chair of the Denver Film Critics Society. We had several very close votes and even a few ties.

I recently reviewed three new movies and I have several more coming soon.
First up, we have Next Goal Wins, which I didn’t expect to like because I’m feeling major Taika Wiaiti burnout.
Next is Biosphere which is a small and incredibly efficient movie. The whole thing is basically two guys in a room talking, but it goes in some pretty wild directions.
And finally, we have Saltburn which I freaking loved. It’s dark, twisted, disturbing, and I was hooked right from the start.
As always you can find more of my quick reviews on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and Trashwire.
I reviewed The Marvels for Trashwire and did a quick review on Tiktok.
In short, the movie is fine, but that’s not going to stop people from arguing about it on the internet. I’ve already seen some pretty hilariously bad thumbnails with angry pictures of Brie Larson from the usual YouTube angry mob.
The truth is, this movie is more fun than Quantumania or Love and Thunder, but people are so over the MCU by now that it’s going to flop hard.
Here’s my bite-sized review.

I really wanted to love this movie. I’m a fan of David Fincher and Michael Fassbender is always impressive, but the main character here is just so cold and stoic that it’s hard to really get invested in the story.

And my full review is on Trashwire
I had the chance to review the new Martin Scorsese film Killers of the Flower Moon for Trashwire. This movie is long and the subject matter is difficult, but I was fully engrossed throughout the three-and-a-half-hour runtime.
Most surprising was that I didn’t love Leonardo DiCaprio’s performance. Something about it just didn’t click for me. Maybe it was the fake teeth, maybe the fact that everyone kept referring to him as “son” or “that boy” when we all know he’s almost 50, but there were a few times when he kind of took me out of the movie.
Lily Gladstone was the standout and she is incredible! I certainly hope she’s in the awards conversation this year.
