-
Inside Out 2 (2024)
The more emotions this movie introduces, the less emotions they make me feel.
-
Deadpool and Wolverine (2024)
The problem of basing the entire movie on inside jokes is that it leaves a lot of people out of them, and it may age badly in the future.
-
Furiosa (2024)
It's very hard to follow up one of the greatest films of all time.
-
Beverly Hills Cop Axel F (2024)
It's been 40 years since the first movie, and it's still the same old dog doing same old tricks.
-
Twisters (2024)
What's the point of this movie when you can just watch the 1996 classic?
-
Vermines (2024)
Attack The Block, but in France, and with the creepiest spiders ever put on film.
-
A Quiet Place Day One (2024)
The premise seems to be losing freshness, it even borrows some clichés from zombie movies.
-
The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare (2024)
Inglourious Basterds but dumber, but also more fun.
-
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (2024)
This series keeps releasing one banger after the other. A criminally underrated sci-fi masterpiece.
-
MaXXXine (2024)
Another banger from the X saga. The movie feels and looks old, but the lack of gratuituous boobs breaks the immersion.
-
In A Violent Nature (2024)
This year is turning to be a milestone for horror movies. A gory, gruesome update of the slasher sub-genre.
-
Late Night With the Devil (2024)
The perfect spooky movie for streaming.
-
Immaculate (2024)
Sidney Sweeney may have been a puritanic maid in the Handmaid's Tale, but she's not a believable horror-movie nun.
-
Control (2024)
A campy, unintentionally funny bad movie made with a shoestring budget. I'd watch it again as a play.
-
I Saw The TV Glow (2024)
If you asked some advanced AI to make you the quintessential A24 movie, it will come up with something like this.
-
Longlegs (2024)
A rudimentary serial killer, supernatural horror, saved by Nicolas Cage in drag.
-
Thelma (2024)
This film reminds you that grannies are precious, and how can you argue with that?
-
The First Omen (2024)
A prequel that manages to be above average, but I completely forgot about it after a watch.
