https://youtu.be/1gPGeAYo3yU 5/10 I had never seen the original two Bill & Ted movies before this third installment was announced so before viewing this I went back and watched the originals. Definitely a product of their time and probably more enjoyable for people who grew up watching them, I found them to be pretty moronic, one … Continue reading #34 Film in 2020: Bill & Ted Face the Music

https://youtu.be/xXh53I-Sdsk 4/10 An oddball movie going experience, “The Personal History of David Copperfield” is indeed personal, but also not particularly enjoyable. Sure, there are several winning elements to admire which I will get into but I found myself just waiting for the movie to end so I could go watch something else. As for what … Continue reading #33 Film in 2020: The Personal History of David Copperfield

https://youtu.be/4E1-RnpOe8Q 8/10 Like several of the films released into newly opened theaters, “Words on Bathroom Walls” is another film I was unaware of until I looked at showtimes to figure out what new films I could go watch. Thankfully, I was pleasantly surprised that this ended up being a pretty great film. In recent years … Continue reading #32 Film in 2020: Words on Bathroom Walls

https://youtu.be/DNCFxmGLx2A 7/10 Due to this film being the 3rd highest grossing film worldwide in 2020 (this year continues to be unpredictable), I figured I would see what all of the hype was about, as this film has been a massive success in China, where it originated from. I love stories about historical battles where one … Continue reading #31 Film in 2020: The Eight Hundred

https://youtu.be/SbP8_9iNwdA 6.5/10 “Train to Busan” came out in 2016 and became the highest grossing Korean movie in Singapore, Hong Kong and Malaysia while simultaneously getting nominated for many Asian cinematic awards. Upon watching it recently, I found it to be very generic and overrated for all of the acclaim it received, but there were some … Continue reading #30 Film in 2020: Train to Busan Presents: Peninsula

https://youtu.be/L3pk_TBkihU 6/10 “You were the chosen one. It was said that you would destroy the…disappointing films of 2020…not join them!” I may be paraphrasing a little with that Star Wars line but it goes something like that in terms of relating to “Tenet”. Perhaps it was unfair of us in the movie going public to … Continue reading #29 Film in 2020: Tenet

https://youtu.be/87r31Z_d4LQ 3.5/10 Normally not the type of movie I’d run out to go see, “Cut Throat City” pulled me in due to finally being able to return to theaters and watch everything I possibly could, combined with a very talented cast. Upon viewing the movie, I can definitely attest to the fact that this is … Continue reading #28 Film in 2020: Cut Throat City

2/10 As a longtime fan of 20th Century Fox’s “X-Men” franchise that spanned 20 years, it hurts to see that the very last movie in the franchise will be their worst one. Makes me wish that “Logan” would have been the final film of the franchise. I believe the X-Men are now in good hands … Continue reading #27 Film in 2020: The New Mutants
