Tim Basaraba – If you told me a month ago that I would prefer the new Indiana Jones film to the new Wes Anderson film I would have laughed and said, “You don’t know me that well, do you?”

Across the Spider-Verse: A Web of Animated Splendor
Tim Basaraba – By now, we, the public at large, know that Marvel’s 2018 animated feature Into the Spiderverse changed animation forever. I have been championing the film’s greatness for more than five years now. How could any sequel live up to the Oscar winning original?
We Like the Movie Called I Like Movies
Tim Basaraba – Here’s a film with a lead character who loves film as much as you do. Chandler Levack’s 2022 comedy/drama, I Like Movies, also shows you the inside of a real-life video store other than our beloved Scarecrow Video in Seattle. Sure, it’s set in early 2000’s Canada, but trust me the nostalgia is palpable.
The Super Mario Bros Movie: A Dissapointing IP Cash Grab
Tim Basaraba – Films for children do BIG BUSINESS. Some even “wow” the audience visually as well. Only a few do it all – box office success, stunning visuals, and a compelling, heartfelt story that connects with audiences of all ages and backgrounds.
Past Lives: The Song Does Not Remain the Same
Tim Basaraba – Much like they did with 2022’s Aftersun, A24 studios is allowing a first-time filmmaker to tell their story, their way with Past Lives, an intentional, articulate and surprisingly whimsical look at modern relationships from director Celine Song, a well-known Korean Canadian playwright making her first foray to the silver screen.
