  • My Favorite Movies of the Decade

    My Favorite Movies of the Decade

    This was a strange decade for cinema. We saw the rise of the superhero genre as the MCU came into its own. Star Wars returned to… various degrees of success (none of which I’m going to talk about, ever, so don’t even ask). Many a franchise was rebooted, many a pointless sequel was made, and…
