 Top 5 Best Films Of 2021 Not What I Thought It Would Be It's that time of the year! Time to go over the Top 5 Best Films Of 2021! The Films on this list are not exactly what I expected, but I go by the rules. And speaking of rules... Here are the rules:  the movie must have been in theaters this year or it must have premiered this year, and it must have scored at minimum 4/5 and I only allow myself three 5/5 movies per year.  With that said, let's get into the list! 5. House Of Gucci Not exactly what I thought would make the list at number 5, but I found myself enjoying this drama.

  Block-Heads Movie Review A Must See Comedy The other week I got to go to a special greening of the Laurel and Hardy film, Block-Heads with a friend of mine. It was played on 35mm film, and it was a roaring good time.  Block-Heads follows two WWI vets as one of them just realized the war is over 20 years late. The two friends reconnect. Alright, my synopsis is a bit simplistic, but it works. I feel as though if I gave any more details I'd be treading into spoiler territory. The chemistry between Laurel and Hardy is amazing. The comedy had me laughing and smiling the entire time. On the more technical side of things, this was a solid film with the camera work, music, and directing. It's hard to put into words explaining the joy I got from watching one of the great comedic duos on 35mm film the way it was meant to be shown. These two play off of each other so freaking well, they capture your attention from beginning to end.  Each and every joke hit! Block-Heads is a comedy...
