The "There's No Such Thing As The Best Movie of the
Year" Award
Seeing as there is no such thing as a best movie amidst a field of
comedies, dramas, musicals, period pieces, speculative fiction, animation,
blockbusters and an international film market we're both not watching enough of as it is,
the award that simply goes to whatever movie brought me

Fallen Kingdom was a lot better than the last one, although nothing will live up to the original.
ReplyDeleteAnd no one is going to win that Nixon award.
I have got to watch The Florida Project. I even rented it on iTunes and then never watched it. This must be remedied. As for the snap in Infinity War, it was more of an "are you fucking kidding me with this right now?" moment than a rad scene for me, but we can agree to disagree. I am looking forward to Captain Marvel, though.
ReplyDeleteI'm keen to see Widows, but apart from things I watched on planes (best was 3 Billboards...) I saw very few movies in 2018.
ReplyDeletePolice Stories 2 is really good.
