PAUL’S TOP 10 of 2020 It’s a weird year to be compiling a best of 2020 list.

TOP 10 MOVIES OF 2018 It’s that time of the year again where I look back at the best films of the year. If you’ve been following along with my trip to the movies, you may remember that I switched to doing more video reviews instead of written reviews. I decided to take that form with my Top 10 this year. It’s been an incredible year of opportunities as I’ve been able to participate in more press junkets interviewing some of my idols like Whoopi Goldberg and Diane Keaton and many more to moderating a sold-out Q&A with Timothée Chalamet and Nic Sheff for theirRead More →
