2021 is coming in hot, so let's talk movies. This week's reviews include a quarantine-themed comedy-drama-heist flick (Locked Down), a new Liam Neeson action flick (The Marksman), a terrific documentary (MLK/FBI), and more. Plus I have my picks for my most anticipated films of 2021, my top ten of 2020, an early review of The White Tiger, and other write-ups.
Additionally, there are more podcasts we put together, including our episodes covering the best films of 2020, Small Axe, Soul, and more. Finally, there are my various essays lists, and new trailers to dig into as well. Enjoy, stay safe out there, and thanks for reading!
