The Honeymoon Is Over

 When I initially started this blog, it was basically an outlet for my movie reviews. I also would sometimes redirect people to bigger movie news anytime it was relevant. I'm writing this post not to say that I'm quitting, granted post are few and far between, but to say phase one is basically complete. Blogspot was only meant to be a temporary. I primarily now post on WordPress, switch is equally temporarily solution. I personally like interface and layout of WordPress over Blogspot. Quite frankly, it takes a bit of work to post the same post on both sites. So for now, I think I'm going to stick to just posting WordPress.

End of the Year Review 2020

This year was an exceptionally bad year for the film business because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Films with scheduled release dates in March and beyond, were either delayed or realsed on streaming sites. Most of delays were pushed into 2021. This disease may have sped up the inevitable fate of movie thesters dying. I look foward to watching movies on a large movie screen agian. Until then, here is my "End of the Year Review" list. 

The Best:

1. The Trial Chicago 7
2. Soul
3. Mank
4. Tenet
5. The Invisible Man

Broken Down By Genre: 

Action: Extraction
Adventure: N/A
Animation: Soul
Comedy: Guns Akimbo
Comic Book: Wonder Woman 1984
Crime / Mystery: Enola Holmes
Drama: The Way Back
Fantasy: Onward
Historical or Bio Pic: The Trial Chicago 7
Horror: N/A
Indie Film: N/A
Musical: Hamilton
Sci-Fi: Tenet
Thriller: The Invisible Man
War: "Greyhound"

Commentary & Notes: With a very light release schedule, Im only doing a top 5. These lists in the past have been a top 10. Not goona lie, I only wanted to fill my movie viewings with films that would bring me joy or make me feel good. There was more than enough negative things happening in real life.

The Worst: 

1. Dolittle
2. Artemis Fowl
3. Fantasy Island
4. Bloodshot
5. The New Mutants

Commentary & Notes: These films wernt really all that bad. Some of these films I enjoyed but they just dont hold up.
