The Neighbor
(2016)
|
Matthew Rozsa
|
That, ultimately, is why "The Neighbor" packs such a strong punch. While there are thousands of thrillers out there about larger-than-life heroes fighting equally impressive (if unlikeable) bad guys, "The Neighbor" is more gritty and grounded.

Wag the Dog
(1997)
|
Matthew Rozsa
|
Once you start to exhibit healthy skepticism toward the government’s actions and motives, they start to seem less like an Orwellian superstate and more like a collection of cocky crooks just one step ahead of the good guys.

Avatar: Fire and Ash
(2025)
|
Matthew Rozsa
|
"Avatar: Fire and Ash" is an immensely entertaining follow up to "Avatar" and "Avatar: The Way of Water". The movie is, without question, the one hard-core fans were hoping for.

Barry Lyndon
(1975)
|
Matthew Rozsa
|
Watch the movie, then read the book, as I was lucky enough to have done. If you do it the other way around, you might be disappointed.

Filmworker
(2017)
|
Matthew Rozsa
|
As clearly established in "Filmworker," the 2017 documentary about Vitali’s life, the onetime British movie/TV star sunk into obscurity when he gave up acting to become right-hand man to one of the greatest film directors of all time, Stanley Kubrick.

The Killing
(1956)
|
Matthew Rozsa
|
Kubrick created a superior work of art, one that has influenced crime movies from "Reservoir Dogs" and "Heat" to "Ocean’s Eleven" and "The Town."

Dr. Strangelove Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
(1964)
|
Matthew Rozsa
|
He would rather risk global nuclear holocaust than live in a world which compromises his manhood…. even if it is only compromised in his own mind.
This brings me to why "Dr. Strangelove" is my favorite Kubrick film.

Society
(1989)
|
Matthew Rozsa
|
If you want to watch a gross horror movie in the finest cinematic satirical tradition, stretching from "They Live" to "The Substance," I highly recommend "Society."

Killer's Kiss
(1955)
|
Matthew Rozsa
|
The genius of “Killer’s Kiss,” which ranks as a great movie despite Kubrick dismissing it as “frivolous,” is that it shows how the REAL New York City is in fact a “sinister nightmare world” where widespread poverty causes “imprisonment of body or soul."

Ghosts Can't Do It
(1990)
|
Matthew Rozsa
|
I recommend “Ghosts Can’t Do It” — not as a romantic comedy, nor even as a “so bad it’s good movie”... No, I recommend “Ghosts Can’t Do It” so that anyone who doesn’t understand Trump and his fellow oligarchs will gain some knowledge.

Spiral: From the Book of Saw
(2021)
|
Matthew Rozsa
|
If you want to watch a thought-provoking and scary horror movie that can be summed up as “Defund the Police: The Movie,” you should check out “Spiral.”

Saw X
(2023)
|
Matthew Rozsa
|
The blinding flashes from fluorescent lighting and MRI machines, the ominous buzzes and thuds of medical equipment. Like all great medical dramas, you can practically smell the antiseptic ER room odors through your screen.

Eyes Wide Shut
(1999)
|
Matthew Rozsa
|
“The women involved have been silenced before and will be forgotten again,” Ritzenhoff said. “It is the drama around male privilege that has the entertainment value.”

Superman
(2025)
|
Matthew Rozsa
|
“Superman” is stuffed with poignant character moments, humorous interludes and a veritable menagerie of cute animals (most notably, of course, Krypto).

Jurassic World Rebirth
(2025)
|
Matthew Rozsa
|
“Jurassic Park Rebirth” fully fleshes out anti-capitalist themes that previous installments only hinted at. For that reason alone, “Jurassic World Rebirth” is a masterpiece.

Waltzing with Brando
(2024)
|
Matthew Rozsa
|
Like a jaunty waltz, the movie’s tone is light and breezy, happily bouncing between plot points with lengthy pauses to explore the ideas and personalities that animated Brando’s ambitious project.

Primary Colors
(1998)
|
Matthew Rozsa
|
A terrible missed opportunity occurred 27 years ago. When “Primary Colors” was released in March 1998, critics and audiences alike focused on the movie’s sexual content rather than its substantive views on tariff policy.

Hollidaysburg
(2014)

Since I was raised in Pennsylvania like Lukas, I could practically feel the industrial dust and chilly autumn wind on my skin, and savor the multi-flavored pumpkin pies and other rich Thanksgiving fixings.

Bulworth

Timid politicians shrinks in the face of that danger. Brave leaders acknowledge the danger but, if the stakes are sufficiently high, proceed anyway.
