Film Appreciation 101: Optimum Immersion
Tim Basaraba – As a self-proclaimed “Cinephile,” I pride myself on maximizing the experience whenever I watch a film. To do so, I recommend an approach I call “Optimum Immersion (OI).”

Zach Braff: A Good Person
Tim Basaraba – I’ve always been indifferent to Zach Braff. I’ve never seen his films Garden State (2004) or Wish I Was Here (2014), nor have I watched a single episode of Scrubs (2004-2009). I don’t have an aversion to Braff, his acting, or his directing, it’s just that some people’s work doesn’t find it’s way into my life.
Dog: PTSDOG
Tim Basaraba – What can’t Channing Tatum do? He can act. He can dance. And, yes, the man can SING. Can he also direct a feature length motion picture? The answer is yes, but with a little help from fellow first-time-director Reid Carolin, the dude who wrote Magic Mike and Magic Mike XXL.
John Wick Chapter 4: The Keanusaunce is over. Long live the Keanusaunce.
Tim Basaraba – How much of a good thing eventually makes a good thing not so good? John Wick: Chapter 4 answers this question for filmgoers. When I saw it last week on opening night, the theater was packed with men from their 20’s to their 70’s eagerly awaiting for new and inventive ways to see people die.
Cocaine Bear: Off the Rails
Tim Basaraba – Cocaine Bear’s box office success is a refreshing surprise that bodes well for films of similar ilk. Start with a bonkers premise, hire a smart young writer to have fun with a menagerie of characters, then cast those characters with a mix of legitimate stars and promising up-and-comers.
