5 Things You Can't Miss
Life Itself
Writer/director Dan Fogelman has only one previous feature under his belt as a director, but is an accomplished writer with a slew of solid credits to his name. That taken into consideration, Fogelman knows-as a writer-when he has his audience in the palm of his hand and for the entirety of the first act of his new film, “Life Itself,” Fogelman has us right where he wants us. Some of the performances here are outright fantastic-especially Oscar Isaac who transitions seamlessly over three different time periods and three wildly different mindsets. One can easily call this emotionally manipulative, but I was invested, I was moved, and most importantly-I cared.

Major League Baseball Playoffs
No other professional sport has a playoffs more breathtaking and edge-of-your-seat than Major League Baseball. It’s probably because there is no other professional sport where as many different things can happen and as many different options and decisions are to be made as in baseball. If you think baseball is too long and tedious just flip on the TV to October baseball and find out what you’re truly missing. If this October is anything like the last few years it’s sure to be completely insane and definite “must-see TV.”

The Wife
"The Wife" is one of those movies you'll want to watch again as soon as you finish it the first time if not for how intense or fascinating it is, but for the delicately layered elements of perception versus reality that both Glenn Close and Jonathan Pryce convey over the course of it. “The Wife” may look like your typical stuffy, Oscar drama fueled solely by the performances of its illustrious lead and while it most definitely is all of those things it also turns out to be much more than this; a searing portrait of intimacy and how as much between two people can be both the most familiar and painful thing in one’s life.

'Desperate Man' by Eric Church
Eric Church has proven over the years that he’s head-and-shoulders above the rest of the country music dudes when it comes to artistry and songwriting. His previous release Mr. Misunderstood was likely his best complete album yet, and now comes Desperate Man, which might not be as interesting lyrically as his previous release, but sonically is a pleasure to the ears and unique for the country genre. Desperate Man is sure to be one of the best complete albums of any genre in 2018.

Assassination Nation
“Assassination Nation” is an extreme satire, but it's a rather effective one. It's a film that will either grow better or worse with age, but my guess is this might be a pretty trippy to experience in 10-to-15 years. Yeah, this super-stylized take on the coming-of-age tale through the lens of our presently overexposed culture would have probably worked better as a limited series or something given the movie already feels like the core characters essentially walk through a handful of different vignettes which in turn means the movie begins to feel like it's dragging in that latter half, but it goes out with such a bang it's hard to argue one didn't have a blast.
