Alfred Hitchcock
Though many people accuse me of having bad taste because I am a member of Gen-Z, they obviously have never heard that my favorite director is the great Alfred Hitchcock, master of mystery, cinematography, and, of course, suspense. The Birds is one of his most intriguing films, taking place in
Co-Mix Wave Films
While I am too busy to binge-watch all the anime I'm constantly recommended to watch (I've only gotten about six episodes into One Piece), I stay up to date on anime films when I have the chance. With both Weathering With You and Your Name ranking

Going into this film, I had no preconceived notions or context on what the film would be about. In this day and age, it is pretty rare for me to go into a movie knowing nothing, so I appreciated the huge surprise this film offered me. Now, was I surprised
Alfred Hitchcock
Alfred Hitchcock is my favorite director of all time (I know, super original), even as a young man so far removed from his cinematic prime. I mean, I was born twenty-seven years after he died, for goodness sake! But I digress. Psycho is far and away Hitchcock's most
Patema Inverted
As a massive fan of Japanese anime films, with Weathering With You and A Silent Voice both instantly placing in my top five favorite movies upon watching them, the whole premise of Patema Inverted felt right up my alley. So, did this film impress or depress? That's what
Planet of the Apes
After a quintilogy of older films, a misguided remake filled to the brim with issues, and the modern Caesar trilogy, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes attempts to follow up the modern trilogy, taking place centuries down the line. Does it successfully follow up that trilogy, or does it
Marvel
With the upcoming release of the franchise's third installment, I felt the urge to write about one of the most oddly memorable comic book movies of all time. This movie is undoubtedly like no other movie. Venom is an odd movie. It is one of those films completely
The original Planet of the Apes series had an incredibly intriguing run! The first film? It's an utter masterpiece. The second? It was a misguided rehash that was too weird for my liking. The third? It's nearly as good as the original, even though it is
Fantastic Four 2015 has quite the reputation, being one of the most hated films of all-time. In this review, I, Brighton Nelson of The Reel Ranker present unto you my take regarding this mess of a film. While I have a plethora of hot takes, I'll have to
Many consider Death in Paradise and Beyond Paradise mediocre detective shows, but I couldn't disagree more. These are two of my favorite shows! I love the mysteries well enough, but even more, I love the characters and the settings! Now, without further ado, I, Brighton Nelson from The
Many consider Beyond Paradise a mediocre detective show, but I couldn't disagree more. This is a spin-off to Death in Paradise, one of my favorite shows, and it has been for many, many years. I love the mysteries well enough, but even more, I love the characters and
Because watching together is just better.
After two very different sci-fi action movies, this movie had an arduous task to execute: to make the perfect conclusion to the trilogy. Taking inspiration from the conclusion of the original series and raising the stakes of the previous film, this certainly is an epic movie. But is it the
After a fantastic first film by Rupert Wyatt that started a whole new reboot franchise, Matt Reeves had some big shoes to fill. And shoes he certainly did fill! Is it better or worse than its predecessor? Or is it just a whole different experience altogether? That's what
The original run of Planet of the Apes was a rollercoaster ride of ups and downs, making it one of the most interesting quintologies of all time. While I loved the first and third movies, the others weren't all that great. So how can the first of the
With an excellent original series and an ever-expanding modern series, this remake of the original film is oddly stuck in the middle of the two franchises. It is its own beast, and there are quite a few things to be said about this film. So let's get into
The original Planet of the Apes series had an incredibly intriguing run! The first film? It's an utter masterpiece. The second? It was a misguided rehash that was too weird for my liking. The third? It's nearly as good as the original, even though it is
After a masterpiece, a monumental misfire, and a guilty-pleasure favorite movie of mine, where will Conquest of the Planet of the Apes land on the spectrum of Planet of the Apes films? Yet again, it was quite interesting to predict where this sequel would take the series, and yet again,
After experiencing a cinematic masterpiece and a disappointing sequel, I was intrigued to see what this movie had to offer and how it even was made. The second film's bombastic ending didn't seem to lend itself to a sequel, especially since it retroactively affected the original&
Beneath the Planet of the Apes is an... interesting movie. I was so excited after watching the phenomenal first movie, as I found that movie to be perfectly concluded and had no idea where the film crew would take a sequel. And let's just say the movie was
Planet of the Apes is a film I was always hesitant to watch because, frankly, the premise of apes talking like humans was always too goofy for me. However, watching it for the first time in 2024, this is one of my new favorite movies of all time! In this
Following in the footsteps of its predecessor, we yet again follow Riley, but she's more present in her story this time around, with her now being a teenager who is trying to fit in with the cool high school kids as a middle schooler. As she goes off
