I’m never getting around to seeing Fences or Lion, so here’s…
Dwelve Into These Twelve
of 2016
1) Tower
A real life tragic event gets Waking Lifed, and it’s not only scary and horrific, but hopeful ANDÂ inspiring!
–
2) I Am Not Your Negro
What it’s like to be an African-American in America (when you’re white and have no clue what it’s like). Â It raises all sorts of important questions that no one is really asking, or sadly, bothering to answer
–
3) Patriots Day
An event I didn’t plan on reliving ended up making me feel proud to be an American… in a time I’m ashamed to be an American
–
4) 20th Century Women
It’s like listening to The Talking Heads for the very first time – WOAH!
–
5) The Founder
Sometimes it takes some awful in humans to make greatness, and greasiness for us all!
–
6) The Light Between Oceans
Perhaps the year’s most overlooked movie that had ‘Oscar bait’ written all over it.  You no longer have to take the bait to something that no longer is baiting you, and it’s time for you to no longer overlook this film!
–
7) Bleed For This
if Miles Teller bleeds – I will come!
–
8) Embrace of the Serpent
I apparently never reviewed Serpent, but you need to Embrace this film – which puts the ‘lonely’ in ‘coLONELYialism’!
–
9) Streit’s: Matzo and the American Dream
All things must pass – even the Lower East Side’s last remaining matzah factory, and with it, a part of Jewish culture and identity in America :(Â
–
10) Hell or High Water
Why choose when you can have BOTH hell AND high water!!!
–
11) Sully
Dude is mad fly!
–
12)Â Raiders!: The Story of the Greatest Fan Film Ever Made
These guys lived out their childhood dreams, in childhood, and finished them in their adulthood! Â Fedora hats off forever to these dudes!!
