Happy New Year! I hope you all had a wonderful time enjoying the revelry. Since the calendar has turned to 2016, it is time for my annual post about the most anticipated films of the year.
I’ve tried to figure out how to begin this Captain Phillips review for a good minute. I had quippy headlines, opening sentences about my experience, everything. But how does one begin to talk about this film that manages to both be claustrophobic and wide open, emotional yet terse, simple yet complex? It might be best to keep it simple and say that Captain Phillips is one of the best films I’ve seen this year.
