    Independence Day (1996)

    Nothing says freedom quite like blowing up the White House: There’s a reason the 1996 blockbuster continues to make the pop culture rounds. The cast is stacked – Will Smith (who reinvented what it meant to be an action star in the Nineties), Jeff Goldblum (my first white-boy crush, though The Lost World: Jurassic Park had me believing this man was an extra light-skinned Black dude), Vivica A. Fox (the undeniable, the iconic), Bill Pullman, Dennis Quaid, and Harry Connick Jr. The one-liners are one-lining. The action is nonstop from about the 15-minute mark. This is definitely a good one to bask in the nostalgia of while sipping a Tito’s Mule and stuffing yourself silly on the Alamo menu. – Cy White Read a full review of Independence Day.

    The Bodyguard (1992)

    Do you remember where you were when you heard the unconscionable clarity of Whitney Houston’s voice when she sang the most iconic two syllables in pop music (“And I…”)? I don’t remember where I was, but I remember what happened. At my big age of about 6 years old, I was absolutely in love with Whitney Houston. Those two notes rang out of the tiny car speakers of my dad’s white Chevrolet Caprice. There was the moment of silence, then the most powerful voice ever conceived proclaimed “I am” on a remake (that I didn’t know was a remake at the time) about love lost but never forgotten. That feeling when a shiver takes hold of your spine and won’t let go for long minutes: That’s what happened to me. Some 32 years later, the song still holds my nervous system captive. It was only a matter of time before Paramount’s ode to 50 years of classic film viewings got to Whitney. – Cy White Read a full review of The Bodyguard.

    The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie (2004)

    The original plan series creator Stephen Hillenburg intended was that the adventures of lovable rectangular & jaundiced sea sponge SpongeBob would conclude with this mega-movie event. Unfortunately, corporate greed demanded the sponge be wrung out for everything he’s got, so we’re still getting nautical nonsense well into 2024. However, only a real bubble-blowing baby would skip the chance to see what continues to be the gold standard of cartoon big-screen leaps. You can try to hide, but don’t think we don’t know how to weeeeeeeeed you out. I’m a goofy goober, yeah … you’re a goofy goober, yeah … – James Scott Read a full review of The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie.
