Top Ten Movie Of 2024
Love lies bleeding
I saw this film twice in theatres before I had AMC A List, which is how you know I’m serious about it. It’s a crime comedy following a lesbian couple so a taylor made film for me. Katy O’Brien is absolutely transcendent in her performance and Kristen Stewart’s deliver of “huh?” Is so funny I lose my marbles I remember it. Dave Franco and Ed Harris are perfect scuzz-bags who you love to see punished.
A real pain
I wrote a longer review about this. But, few films of the last few years have felt so attune to how I both perceive and am perceived as a person. Eisenberg and Culkin give incredible soulful and deeply relatable performances. Eisenberg has such a clarity of purpose when it comes to writing and directing. An incredible picture!
Cuckoo
This shit is bananas, coo coo even. Hunter Schafer is so funny and weird in this one. Dan Stevens does some of the best accent work I’ve ever seen. All and all a great time for dang ole freaks that like birds. (Me)
Mad max: Furiousa
I saw this thingo twice in theatres and I gotta tell you, worth it both times! Chris Hemsworth is just amazing in this flick. So funny, so entertaining, just pure popcorn fun. Anya-Taylor Joy is a personal favorite of mine and just does a great job. I prefer it to fury road which puts me in jail or whatever but I like what I like and I won’t recant. Shout out to Tom Burke for being the most charismatic man to ever live. Truly a masterpiece from the man that brought us happy feet one and two.
Beetlejuice beetlejuice
It’s Loony Tunes! It’s fun! I have no notes, it’s a good time.
We live in time
This film is devastating and Garfield and Pugh are incredible. If you want a cry go see it. It changes how I cook eggs.
Alien: Romulus
It’s everything we’ve had from a an alien movie all put in one so I simply can’t be made. I love the performances and score and the robot.
National Anthem
A deeply stirring portrait of rural American queerness. Deeply empathetic to the working class people of this country and the things that keep them going.
Kneecap
Long live Gaeilge and this music rules. I can’t wait for them to perform at the Oscar’s this year.
Megalopolis
I love this movie on its own terms and I will not be swayed.
