It felt right, at the beginning of this new year, to look back on the films that guided me through my teens in the 2000s, my 20s in the 2010s, and my 30s in 2020s. And it’s finally time to do a deep dive on my favorite film of all time, “Zodiac.” Read my full column: bit.ly/SceneFeb2026

🎃OCTOBER COLUMN🎃 The works of Stephen King have been adapted over and over (and over) again into iconic films and popular TV shows. While taking on the entire King canon may be daunting, these classics are a perfect place to start — just in time for spooky season. 🔗: bit.ly/OctScene2025

🍿SEPTEMBER COLUMN🍿 “Weapons” is an expertly-paced, frightening and mordantly funny modern fairytale tinged with sadness and grief. In this age of reboots and sequels, it’s an original horror thriller that should give us hope. Read my full column: bit.ly/SceneSept2025

Not a big superhero guy, but Superman impressed me. A fun, poppy, quirky summer blockbuster for a xenophobic, social-media-obsessed, billionaire-run world. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Picked this up as a fan of Nora Princiotti’s work at The Ringer, as a music lover, and as a millennial seeking nostalgic comfort in these complicated times. It hit all the right notes. A deeply-reported and insightful history of 2000s pop music and aughts culture. Cc: @noraprinciotti.bsky.social

Jarring how the world’s falling apart, but there’s also a rich and smart, “Broadcast News”-ish romantic drama written/directed by a talented auteur in theaters. We are so done, and we are so back! Probably won’t work for everyone, but #Materialists > Past Lives for me. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

🎸 FEBRUARY COLUMN 🎸 Director James Mangold has mastered the music biopic — a genre often plagued by mediocrity — first with “Walk The Line,” and now with “A Complete Unknown.” Read my full column: bit.ly/SceneFeb2025

🎄DECEMBER COLUMN🎄 It’s the most wonderful time of the year … for those wreathed in love. But what about the lonely, the grieving, and the left behind? “The Holdovers,” a new holiday classic, gives voice to the lost and weary. 📰 Read my full column: bit.ly/DecScene
