  1. Cocaine Bear - Uneven, but ridiculously fun B-movie with dark humor and tons of gore. 8/10.
  2. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania - Definitely one of the weaker MCU installments. Uneven pacing, messy storytelling, and dodgy effects. But, it's still a fun romp. Paul Rudd as always is charismatic as Ant-Man and Jonathan Majors steals the show as Kang. Hopefully future movies utilize him better. 6 out of 10.
  3. Knock at the Cabin - A suspenseful (if uneven) thriller carried by fantastic performances. Definitely one of Shyamalan's better movies. 7 out of 10.
  4. M3GAN: A delightfully silly horror comedy that takes full advantage of its premise and has one of the best horror villains in recent memory. I had a blast! 8.5 out of 10.
  5. Puss in Boots: The Last Wish - Holy cow, this was amazing. It's exciting, hilarious, gorgeously animated, and surprisingly emotional. 9.5 out of 10.
  6. Avatar: The Way of Water - My god, James Cameron does it again! The story is simple and my god did I feel that 3 hour runtime by the end. But this is still a visually stunning and immersive epic. Spectacular action sequences, amazing visuals, and a lot of solid worldbuilding. 8.5 out of 10.
  7. Pinocchio (2022) - Guillermo Del Toro made the best Pinocchio movie of the year (low bar, I know). Breathtakingly animated, emotional, and a unique take on a familiar story. 10 out of 10.
  8. Iger’s Sudden Return to Disney Shocks a Discontented Kingdom https://nyti.ms/3OpYepD The entire board basically revolted against him.
  9. I think the biggest problem with Chapek was that he lacked vision and charm, both of which are necessary when you're running a media conglomerate. He had no charisma, no respect/appreciation for the talent, and he was dreadful at playing the PR game. How the hell are you going to run a company where animation is a staple of the brand, then dismiss it as just being for kids?
  10. A list of all the people Bob Chapek angered or pissed off as CEO of Disney: - Disney Parks fans - Everyone working at Pixar - Everyone working at WDAS - Emily Blunt - Emma Stone - Scarlett Johansson - Kevin Feige - Bob Iger - Most of the LGBTQ community (several of whom work for Disney) - Animation fans
  11. Breaking overnight: Disney CEO Bob Chapek stepped down as former head of Disney Bob Iger returns (for two more years, at least). Details below. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/disney-bob-iger-returning-ceo-bob-chapek-exits-1235266823/amp/
  12. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever - You can feel the absence of Chadwick Boseman and it's a little too long, but this is still a damn good followup to the first film. Powerhouse performances, thrilling action scenes, and a great tribute to T'Challa. 8.5 out of 10.
  13. He was diagnosed with cancer... https://twitter.com/jordanmaison/status/1591103472619106305?s=46&t=OTv4BB8Z7-VVKlo9G7ukVg
  14. Black Adam - Not a great movie (sloppy writing, some unnecessary characters, a basic plot, and a very lame villain), but I had fun watching it. The whole thing is carried by Dwayne Johnson's chatisma and the fun action sequences. 6 out of 10.
  15. Hellraiser (2022) - The best Hellraiser movie in a long time after a slow of awful sequels. Creepy visuals and gruesome kills. Only downside is that it was a bit longer than it needed to be. 8 out of 10.
  16. It's still rough around the edges, but it is getting better. I hope that the show is able to find its footing in the next chapter.
  17. The Woman King - Works as a compelling drama and a well made action film. Viola Davis is incredible in the lead role. 9 out of 10.
  18. Barbarian - The most bonkers Horror movie I've seen all year. Brutal violence, lots of twists and turns, and it's funnier than I expected it to be. The less you know going in, the more you'll enjoy it. 9 out of 10.
