June is coming to a close next week and as I do around this time, every year, I ramble about what movies I’ve seen.
There’s been some great stuff this year in horror: Get Out and It Comes at Night lead the pack with Split not to far behind them. These fine films are great examples of horror films that are putting compelling stories back into film. I am dreading the release of the new Saw flick later this year. I’m hoping the genre doesn’t fall back into the bad habits these films created. Though I must admit I really liked the first one.
Other then I thought Logan was an excellent comic book film. It was very gritty and the fact that it was allowed to have rough edges made it an interesting movie.
Kong: Skull Island and Alien: Covenant were both incredible amounts of fun to watch. So was Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2. It wasn’t great but a blast to watch.
There were a few pleasant surprises as well. Colossal and A Cure for Wellness both were pleasant surprises. So was Personal Shopper. The film created a great moody tone and kept me on the edge of my seat.
This year has brought some bad flicks as well. Transformers: The Last Knight chief among them and its followed very closely by Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. It’s not an anti musical thing after all The King and I is a great movie. It’s bad and the leads can’t sing their way out of a paper bag to save their lives.
The Ring sequel titled Rings was massively disappointing as well since the first one was incredible.
The Lovers didn’t do it for me either. I thought it was repetitive and slow. I couldn’t wait for it to end.
Anyways I can’t wait to go back to the movies!
