The Top 10 Movies of 2022
Best of 2022 I loved this year. I saw my new favorite movie of all time, we will get to that, but really, I have at least 25 movies that I could happily talk about for the rest of my life with fellow film lovers. 25 movies I saw this year I rated as 4.5 or 5 stars on Letterboxd. I may have done that before but honestly, it felt fresh this year. It feels fresh and new as I talk about it. I struggled hard with this list. I really wanted each of my Top 25 movies to be part of my Top 10 so I could write about them again. Nothing is stopping me from writing about them again, but I need a little restriction for this list.

There are a lot of reasons you might be tempted to not see this movie. You may have already heard some of the loathsome things James Cameron said about the Lakota. You may have heard it's just another chapter in the Avatar franchise's "white savior" narrative. You may have heard that a white man is exploiting the stereotypes of Indigenous peoples, hired an almost all white cast, and only white people are going to profit from it.

Merry Dark Christmas! ‘Tis the season for machine guns, twisted murders, and the Grin- (the Mean One). While most of the world at this time of the year sits to enjoy family, eggnog, and heart warming films such as A Christmas Story, It’s a Wonderful Life, and more, there is always a small minority of people who look to alternative films to kick off the holiday season. Fortunately, I am one of those people who are always dreaming of a dark Christmas.

Teddy MacQuarriePublished about a year ago in GeeksImagining the Curtailed Future of Minx Through Viva
One of the latest casualties of an overhaul of HBO Max done by Warner Bros. Discovery was Minx, a comedy centered on a semi-fictional erotic magazine for women published in 1970s Los Angeles. Despite a strong critical response to the first season, which premiered on March 17, 2022 and holds a 97% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, new leadership at the streamer pulled the series even after a previous renewal and days ahead of production wrapping on the second season. Co-executive producer and star Jake Johnson has since said that filming will wrap and that the Minx team is hoping for a new home for the show.
OG CollectionPublished about a year ago in GeeksWhy "Warrior Nun" needs to be your next binge watch
Warrior Nun is one of the best Netflix originals the streaming giant has to offer. When I began watching its first season in July 2020, I had zero expectations going into it. I simply saw two words that I never associated being together and thought "huh! I wonder what kind of warrior shenanigans these nuns can possibly get into?"

Growing up as a sheltered, fearful, religiously-influenced child, I had no idea what my future was going to be like. I’ve felt fairly lost in life compared to many others around me. I was not a confident kid, young adult, or even a middle-aged man until recently.

I have always been incredibly fascinated with the fact that Studio Ghibli films have a specific sense of nostalgia. I want to believe this is a sentiment for everyone who enjoys Ghibli films because, for me, they represent both a gleeful childhood and a vessel that allows us to find magical and meaningful moments as we grow older.
