The 2022 Year In Review – The Top Ten.

The year is almost at an end so it’s time for my 2022 wrap up and that means a box office breakdown, a look at where the industry has been going in the last year and of course, my top ten movies of the year. Several of these I don’t have full reviews of so it also gives me an opportunity to cover some great films I just didn’t have time to review.

Before I dig in, I just want to point out since I spend more time watching and reviewing older movies I haven’t seen every film released this year that may qualify for best or worst. Notably in regards to best, I haven’t seen “Smile” yet and may even save that for next years October Horror Challenge, nor have I seen likely Oscar winner “The Whale” or the recent remake of “All Quiet on the Western Front”, all sound like they could be on this list.

Anyway, lets get started:

Best Movies Of The Year (That I’ve Seen).

First of all the honourable mentions. The Foo Fighters horror movie “Studio 666” was surprisingly fun and entertaining. There was definitely a bit of a John Carpenter influence going on and with John having a cameo I have to wonder if perhaps he gave a few tips. The band as well showed they are perfectly capable of acting at the level of a horror film. That may not be the most demanding genre for actors but yet many in these films still fail. If you like comedy horror it’s definitely one to check out.

Black Phone” also narrowly missed the cut. The style serial killer movie with a supernatural twist and two children as the protagonists could easily be mistaken for a Stephen King story but it was a Scott Derrickson original and given this was the project he moved on to after abandoning Doctor Strange 2, he’s come out of it dodging a bullet and smelling like roses. I look forward to seeing what he comes up with next. Hint to Warner/DC he would be an excellent pick to direct a Hellblazer/John Constantine movie or a Swamp Thing movie for that matter. Hire him!

The last honourable mention is Marvel’s “Werewolf by Night“. It’s ironic it’s the pair of throw away specials from Marvel that ended up their only worthwhile output this year (The other being the solidly good “Guardians of the Galaxy Christmas Special”), but sometimes you need a studio to take their interfering eye off of the creative process to get things done right (Which is basically how “The Joker” (2019) happened too). I actually rated Werewolf by Night slightly higher than three on this list, but since it’s under an hour it’s debatable if it counts as a movie, hence it’s just an honourable mention.

10. Sonic the Hedgehog 2

Surprising me once again with it’s quality is the little blue Sega mascot. This time following on from the original with the obvious steps of introducing Knuckles and Tails. I had my doubts Sonic could work, especially after the initially terrible CGI but the studio proved they care what fans think by fixing that error and producing a movie that was both fun and full of the kind of fan service that fits into and enhances the story instead of getting in it’s way (Like most fan service these days). Jim Carey was also a surprise absolutely nailing his role as the villainous Doctor Robotnik.

Going in to the sequel I had my doubts again that adding in characters like Knuckles and Tails would be a step too far, but again I was wrong. Idris Elba did a fantastic job as Knuckles and Tails who I expected to be incredibly annoying was actually quite endearing. This was a fun family movie that also massages that nostalgia muscle in a very pleasant way. The third film it seems moves the story past my time with Sonic (Strictly Megadrive days for me), so remains to be seen if it still holds any appeal for me, but it’s a thumbs up for the first two for sure. This was a 6.5/10. If you are new to my blog, a six or above is good (Fives are average and 4 or below are bad). I like to have more room at the top.

9. The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent

Nick Cage popped up on my best lists last year twice, once for “Pig” and again from the cult classic “Willy’s Wonderland”. Nick is an actor I’ve really learned to appreciate in recent years and I’m not surprised a comedy action film where Nick plays a parody of himself managed to creep into the top ten. Cage and his co-star Pedro Pascal were obviously both having a blast with this movie and the fact that Nick has no problem lampooning himself just raised what would have still been a fun action movie onto a new level. I don’t have a whole lot more to say about this one, it’s just fun. 6.5/10

8. Hatching (a.k.a. Pahanhautoja)

Another surprise entry for this year and the only horror to make the list. To be fair, I haven’t seen “Smile”, “X”, “Pearl” or “Terrifier 2”, all of which will probably end up on next years Horrorthon (Not that I don’t watch horror outside of October but it’s always good to save a few up). Not sure any of those would challenge the top ten but I won’t know until I see them.

Hatching was from this years October Challenge and was slipped in as both a new release and a foreign language movie (Finnish in this case) and it really surprised me by having a whole lot more depth than I was expecting. That said, the best body horrors tends to be built around some kind of metaphor so what this showed was director Hanna Bergholm and writer Ilja Rautsi clearly understand the genre. Check out my full review HERE. This was a high 6.5/10

7. Beavis and Butt-Head Do The Universe

A Beavis and Butt-Head movie made the top ten list for the year? The fact that this movie wasn’t as good as their previous outing back in their prime and still made number seven on this list probably says a lot about the declining quality of the movie industry. However, that’s not to say the film doesn’t deserve some accolades. Reviving an edgy animated comedy franchise from the 1990’s when edgy animated comedy was all the rage in 2022 when political correctness has made a lot of that kind of comedy “Problematic” may seem like a bad idea, but in truth it was exactly what 2022 needed. The scene where Beavis and Butt-Head learn about White Privilege (and go on a rampage thinking it will be consequence free) is simply gold.

But it’s not just that, Mike Judge has managed to bring back his characters in a way that both updates them to the modern day while also keeping them true to how they were in the classic series (And in the “Beavis and Butt-Head Do America” movie). He even managed to squeeze in some mild character development (Not that these are characters that should ever evolve that much). The movie largely seems to have existed to allow the series to continue in the modern day with the pair still teenagers. So even though the story existed to get them from A to B via space antics and time travel, Judge managed to work that into a tale that was both entertaining and somewhat paralleled their earlier movie. 7/10

6. Bullet Train

David Leitch’s Bullet Train is a movie I expected to be quite fun, but was still surprised at how well it turned out. It’s presented in a Guy Ritchie style which is a bit of a cheap way to make something seem cool and if the movie doesn’t deliver would lose it further points for cliché, but fortunately this story actually fit that style perfectly. It’s not quite a Guy Ritchie style story though, in that regard it’s probably more Tarintino. The combination makes for a somewhat comic book style (Meaning you could argue this years best comic book movie wasn’t a comic book movie) and I wouldn’t have been surprised to find this was based off a graphic novel or something, but no the work is original screenplay by Zak Olkewicz.

It certainly helps having Brad Pitt in the lead role. One of the few true movie stars the industry has left and his presence does raise the movies quality a bar or two. But despite that his character isn’t actually the most interesting, probably because this is the kind of film that is built around having a colourful zany group of misfit characters thrown together to fight and interact. Aaron Taylor-Johnson as “Tangerine” largely steals the show, but who doesn’t also love a Hiroyuki Sanada appearance? Throw in a Sandra Bullock cameo and you have a fun action classic that will probably stand the test of time. 7/10

5. Everything Everywhere All At Once

Over recent years Michelle Yeoh has been lumbered with doing a lot of garbage and while it’s good to see her continued popularity it has felt like a waste of her talents. Of course Michelle is mostly famous for her martial arts, but she is actually quite capable as an actress in general and as she ages to a point where the fighting becomes less believable it is good for her to establish her acting credentials in quality work. This is perhaps the perfect vehicle for her. Of course she still does some fighting, but that’s not the main focus of the story

Everything Everywhere is a movie full of surprises. You think it is going to go in one direction and it goes in another. You start to feel it’s turned into an action movie and it morphs into an outright comedy and then into something a lot more emotional eventually focusing in on a story about relationships, about family and about love. It is a movie that ends up with excitement and emotion and leaving you laughing your ass off. It also firmly embarrassed Marvel by easily being the best multiverse based movie of the year and doing it on a shoe string budget. This is definitely cult classic. 7.5/10

4. Guillermo Del Toro’s Pinocchio

This has been a year full of surprises and perhaps none more so than this movie. Landing completely out of the blue for me, with very little fanfare is this absolute masterpiece of stop motion animation and story telling from the great Guillermo Del Toro. Arriving in the same year as the critically panned and poorly received Disney live action Pinocchio, this is a completely fresh take on Carlo Collodi’s classic tale of the living puppet. Shifting the time period to World War 2 to set it in Mussolini’s Fascist Italy gives the movie some “Pan’s Labyrinth” (2006) vibes. Clearly dealing with the horrors of war and oppressive dictatorships is something Del Toro is passionate about and it actually works well for this story.

Pinocchio himself has a look much closer to the Gris Grimly’s illustrations of the book than the more human like version in Disney’s classic animation and that not only makes it feel more realistic (As much as a movie about a living puppet can be) it helps to contrast Pinocchio from the stop motion “Humans” in the story who are all of course actually puppets too. Del Toro actually reduced the magical elements to the story, removing other talking animals and marionettes (Though both are sort of covered by by Spazzatura, the mistreated Monkey that is able to talk through the marionettes he operates), but this actually adds to the wonder of the story as it makes the fantastically elements that remain seem all that more special.

This movie is a visual treat and an emotional journey and really shows that even while Disney try and squeeze every drop of life out of their own version of the story, there are still takes on the classic tale that are both beautiful and worthwhile. Absolutely a 7.5/10.

3. Top Gun: Maverick

Perhaps the most important release of the year Tom Cruise proved three things with Maverick. First of all he proved he can still be a huge box office draw in an action movie. Secondly he showed that it is possible to revisit a movie from the 80’s, bring it in to the modern day and do it in a way that is both massively popular and resonates with the original in such a way that no one feels it is disrespected. Last but not least, in fact probably most significantly it showed that physical special effects and genuine stunts are far more impressive to a modern audience than even the most extravagant and expensive CGI. Perhaps it’s time for studios to re-evaluate

As a bonus Tom Cruise coming out before the film (pre-recorded that is and not in all releases) to personally thank the fans for turning up shows a level of audience respect that has been so absent from most major productions people reacted to it like an abused animal finally getting some affection. We live in very strange times when many productions are promoted with toxic campaigns of greeting any and all criticism with insults and accusation, even to the point where at least two of the years major productions (Scream and She-Hulk) actually had attacks on their own audience built into the plot itself. So coming out with such a positive message has won Cruise a number of fans for life.

The film itself is a continuation of Mavericks character development from the first film, using the death of “Goose” as the jumping off point to tie it all together. While doing that story it also introduces a number of new younger pilots and allows them their own character development. Then it provides an action sequence somewhat reminiscent of the Star Wars trench run but provides just enough mission to allow everyone’s story arc to have meaning. Nothing is overdone here except for arguably Maverick’s romance angle, but personally I had no issue with that and Jennifer Connelly had great chemistry with Cruise. Anyway check out my full review HERE. This was a very strong 7.5/10.

2. Violent Night

Jumping in at the very last minute ahead of Maverick is the years most surprising film of all “Violent Night”. I don’t think anyone expected this movie to be as good as it was. Director Tommy Wirkola is mostly known for low budget horror films such as the “Dead Snow” movies (The one with the zombie Nazi’s) and mid budget action films like “Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters” (2013). While he’s clearly playing with home field advantage here, it’s not like any of his films have been anything beyond moderately good. But I think with this he’s finally made the film he will ultimately be known for. It probably helps that the script for the film was penned by Pat Casey and Josh Miller, the team also behind the Sonic movies (So managed to write two of the years best movies).

The story is effectively Die Hard but instead of John McClane you have Santa Claus. But not just any Santa, this one used to be a Viking and when he takes it upon himself to save a young girl that is on his good list and her family from violent thieves he begins to remember his old ways and use them finally for good. David Harbour is fantastic in this role and I am now of the opinion he was born to play Santa. John Leguizamo also does a fantastic job of playing the movies main villain “Scrooge” (All the villains have Christmas related code names). The pacing is superb and almost every scene stands out with the highlights probably being when Santa fully unleashes his Viking fury and the scene almost immediately after where Trudy (The young girl in question) performs a far more violent take on Home Alone.

The great thing about this movie is it lands as a comedy, it lands as violent action and it lands just as well as the other two as a Christmas movie and I think that is the bit that really surprised me. Pair this up with the first “Bad Santa” movie and the classic Bill Murray comedy “Scrooged” and you have the ultimate evening of Christmas comedies. But if you aren’t into that, you can pair it up with Die Hard and Lethal Weapon instead. This is going to be a long time Christmas favourite and earns itself a coveted 8/10 from me.

1. The Northman

And here we are, my number one movie of the year and if not a surprising one for anyone that knows me. I love the Viking Age and I love Norse Mythology. Most of the shows and movies that get put out with those themes are frankly garbage. The TV series “The Last Kingdom” is the sole exception for TV shows (The “Vikings” shows having pitifully bad historical accuracy both in costumes and events). As far as movies goes there have been a few decent ones (The last one of note being “Valhalla Rising” from 2009). When I heard Robert Eggers was making a Viking story based on an Icelandic Saga and staring Alexander Skarsgård I was cautiously optimistic.

Eggers is somewhat obsessed with historical accuracy and has a unique approach to the supernatural where he invokes the perspective of the believers to leave the audience unsure if what they are actually seeing is real or not. Both these were going to be well suited to this story. The Saga in question is the Legend of Amleth, the story that was also the inspiration for Hamlet. Eggers with the assistance of Icelandic poet and musician Sjón constructed a story that truly evokes the spirit of those Sagas. It is tragic, grim and beautiful and portrays those times with equal amounts of horror and awe. The characters are bold, brave, brutal and fatalistic and ultimately the story feels like it is exactly the kind of movie the writers of those ancient Sagas would write themselves.

But it’s not just the storytelling that makes this my movie of the year. The sets are pure perfection down to the finest detail, the soundtrack is primal and inspiring and the performances on screen are almost all absolutely top notch. Along with Skarsgård, Nicole Kidman puts in a career best performance, Claes Bang nails the role of Amleth’s nemesis and step-father, Anya Taylor-Joy continues to prove why her career seems to have rocket boots and Willem DaFoe continues to be the scene stealer he has been his entire career (But with a bit more recognition for it these days). This movie has earned an 8.5/10 from me, a score I’ve not given since “Joker” in 2019. For my full review click HERE.

Worst Movies of the Year (That I’ve Seen)

This is very superhero heavy this year. I’m going to throw “The Batman” out there as a dishonourable mention. There was a lot of good in that movie but an equal amount of bad. Ultimately the film was a disappointment, but could have been worse. I didn’t feel anything was broken, though I doubt they’ll return to that word with Gunn now in charge at DC.

There’s also a number of apparently terrible movies I totally avoided seeing this year, that includes “Amsterdam“, “The 355“, “They/Them” and Walt Disney’s live action “Pinocchio” (It must be really embarrassing to have that come out the same year as Del Toro’s masterpiece). I suspect all of those would have found their way onto the list had I seen them. Generally I don’t go out of my way to watch bad movies, at least not unless they are obvious B-Movies and I figure they may be fun regardless of if they are objectively good or bad (For example something like “Christmas, Bloody Christmas“, which narrowly missed being on this list despite effectively being a bad Terminator rip off).

I suspect had I seen all the theatrically released movies this year only my top five would have still been on the list, but perhaps higher up.

10 – Crimes of the Future

A disappointing entry in David Cronenberg’s more hit than miss career. It is a film that tries to be highbrow with dense layers of subtext but fails to actually do anything entertaining with it. It comes off as a pretentious mess. Cronenberg’s films are always somewhat dense, but most manage to be fun too and this did not. It’s worth noting he had been messing around this idea for a while, so perhaps he gave up trying to find the right angle and just made it with what he had. Who knows. I don’t have much else to say here, but I have done a full review, which you can find HERE. I gave this a 4.5/10.

9. – Prey

A heavily clichéd movie full of modern tropes (Such as having a guy warning the hero of impending danger only to instantly die to that danger), that spends too much time trying to pointlessly reference the original movie while failing to maintain consistency with it. The movie peaks long before the end with the climax requiring the great hunter alien to be a complete and total idiot.

The movie is not without highlights, such as the first appearance of the Predator (fighting the Grizzly) and it is significantly better than the previous entry (A movie that would have easily made the bottom 3 worst even this year), but it is a long way from a true recovery for the franchise. Unlike that previous entry though this didn’t damage the franchise as a whole and can be casually ignored moving forward without issue. It is however, still a bad movie. 4.5/10

8. Morbius

Morbius is a movie that fails mostly because of what isn’t in it rather than what is. There are some flaws and dumb elements it’s true, but then there was in the Venom films too and they were still enjoyable. Morbius however lacks the positives that were in those films that make you want to overlook those flaws and has some glaring omissions in plot points that weren’t very well developed, relationships that weren’t properly explored and characters that were either scaled right down or cut completely from the main movie.

The movie feels like a skeleton of a much better movie, that had all the meat stripped away from the bone in the edit for some reason. My guess is it involves the last minute new deal Sony struck with Marvel. It’s very likely Vulture was going to feature more heavily in the story (Instead of a post credit cameo) and Agent Stroud would also be more heavily involved and actually be seen using his cyborg arm (This btw, is likely how he got to the roof of the building so fast, but they literally cut his superpowers from the film). Anyway, full review is HERE. This is another 4.5/5

7. Troll

This was especially disappointing for me as I was actually quite looking forward to it, but it turned into one of the most generic monster movies I’ve ever seen. Another film full of cliché’s, in this case the incredibly tired “Scientist of an obscure field that is brought in as a specialist consultant, everyone immediately doubts and ridicules and then turns out to be right”. It’s full of horrendous plot holes and contrivances the whole way through.

They even threw in a moment directly out of “The Suicide Squad” where the abused and undervalued subordinate punches out the bloodthirsty boss person at a key moment to allow the heroes to do that thing the military doesn’t want them to do. That trope likely goes back a lot further, but The Suicide Squad actually did it well, where as Troll just sort of does it because it can. The Troll does look reasonably good but that was the only positive I got from this. This is a 4/10

6. Scream (2022)

This overhyped disappointment hit the screens with the kind of arrogance that usually hails a self indulgent pretentious pile of garbage. Even before it aired it lost points for going with the name “Scream” like it was on par or somehow better than the original. But then it actually made references to doing just that so they can mock fans they knew would make that legitimate complaint. Bad start but then they killed off a key character just for the sake of it and chose the one male character in the mix because in 2022 it’s not enough for a franchise to be female lead it now also can’t have any men around at all because then it wouldn’t be empowering.

The truth is the franchise went off the rails years ago when it stopped being meta commentary on the horror genre and instead became directly self referential, through it’s fake “Stab” movie franchise which represents the Scream franchise. The original movie was about all of horror, but all the movies since have basically been just about the original Scream. worst of all though they basically made the villain “Toxic Fandom”. In other words, their own audience. This is a movie that spends an equal amount of time kissing it’s own ass and simultaneously calling it’s fanbase jerks. That is never going to get a good score from me and honestly I feel a 4/10 is generous. I dread to see what the idiots behind this do with the Escape From New York reboot.

5. The Munsters (2022)

The one movie on this list that wasn’t a disappointment, because I expected it to be rubbish going in. But as someone that watched a lot of Munsters reruns as a kid, I really wanted to give it a chance. I respect that Rob Zombie was trying to recreate the feel of the original film and I have heard he wanted to do it in black and white, but was declined by the studio. he also had a budget that could barely pay for a shoestring.

But even then the fact is the end result is bad and the main reason for that is because of creative choices. Specifically because Zombie chose to make the story a prequel effectively about Herman and Lilly hooking up and moving to the USA. That could potentially have worked with a strong story behind it, but Rob didn’t provide one. Not a strong story. Not even a story. The characters just sort of mill around with very little happening until random events cause them to move. Shame, but not a surprise. Full Review is HERE. I gave it 4/10 originally, I feel that may have been generous.

4. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever

The front runner of this years set of entries into the abysmal MCU Phase Snore is the disaster that is Black Panther 2. Holding itself up over the other two MCU entries on this list entirely on the strength of it’s Chadwick Boseman tributes. Moving as they were it couldn’t disguise the fact that without Chadwick as Black Panther I really don’t see any characters worth rooting for in this franchise now. Shuri is not believable and the film goes out of it’s way to push gender and racial politics instead of storytelling and having fun. The fact that they changed Namors origin because they didn’t see the value in an entirely fantasy race shows how little the makers of MCU films these days value imagination.

Then you have one of the worst characters ever introduced into the comics (A character that has the mentality of a classic comic villain but is for some reason considered a hero) randomly pushed into the centre of the story in a way that never really made an sense. The movie is so full of plot holes you have to shut your brain completely off to enjoy it making it exactly what Martin Scorsese accused Marvel movies of being – A fairground ride. But for me this was so goofy a movie it’s not even a very good ride. It’s like a ride that breaks down half way through and you get stuck on the tracks for 30 minutes sweating in the hot sun. 3.5/10

3. Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness

This is perhaps the most flawed Marvel movie ever released. The reason it’s not lower on the list however is as a spectacle it does have some good moments and three scenes in particular actually had the distinct mark of Sam Raimi about them. Specifically Zombie Strange, Wanda attacking people from reflections and the music fight. The trouble is as soon as you insert even those scenes into the whole you see what a horrendously flawed mess and total character assassination of pretty much everyone involved it truly is.

Doctor Strange doesn’t even have a real character arc. Instead the plot is basically that everyone thinks he’s an a**hole and he isn’t. That’s not much more of a character arc than Batman’s “I am vengeance… maybe I’m not just Vengeance” (The Batman didn’t make the worst or best list as the flaws and positives neutralised each other). It should go without saying that the character arc of your main character should be the most important thing in a movie named after that character.

Instead this was primarily Wanda’s movie, secondarily America Chavez’ and Stephen is just sort of there. Add to that the horrible cameo of great characters that are all basically made to look like chumps in their very first MCU big screen appearance and you have a film that I absolutely hate, despite three scenes I legit enjoyed. This is a 3.5/10, one point for each good scene and half a point for the rest of the movie.

2. Thor: Love and Thunder

When discussing Thor: Rangnarok with my friends they were surprised I was uneasy about the film. As I explained to them, while I did absolutely enjoy the film I was very concerned with the direction the franchise was going and that if it goes much further in that direction we’d be reaching “Batman and Robin” levels of goofiness. The movie was followed on with Infinity War which had Thor be a definite badass, but then that was followed by Fat Thor in End Game and I became concerned again. Now it’s pretty clear I was proven right. A lot of people are now referring to this movie as the “Batman and Robin” of the franchise and rightly so.

The trouble is not only did they turn Thor into a complete joke, the joke wasn’t even funny. How many times do we have to do the screaming goats joke? How many times are we expected to laugh at gratuitous sexualisation of male characters while we are also being accused of being sexist for wanting to see attractive women? Why does Marvel want to see all it’s male heroes humiliated these days? It’s no wonder Hemsworth has been hinting he is done with the franchise. There was nothing positive at all to this movie, it’s just trash. 3/10

1. Halloween Ends

I think we can basically guarantee now that any time someone comes to the Halloween franchise and wants to wipe most (sometimes all) the previous movies from canon with the arogent view their vision is clearly going to be superior than what came before, that they will in fact end their run with a new worst film of the entire franchise history. This is the third time in a row this has happened now. First the Loomis/Jamie Lloyd arc was wiped out so that we can see Laurie Strode murdered in an insane asylum and have Busta Rhymes be the man to take down The Shape. Then Rob Zombie comes up with his “Darker/Grittier” reboot and ends with one of the most nonsensical barely watchable Halloween movies ever made.

But now we get a new champion of Garbage. We get a third movie in a disjointed trilogy (That really has no excuse to be so disjointed given it’s all the same writer/director and done over a short period). A movie that introduces a new character out of the blue that the trilogy suddenly revolves around. A Halloween movie that character assassinates the Bogeyman himself and reduces him to a cameo. We have a strode family where the granddaughter seems attracted to psychopaths despite her mother being killed by one and a Laurie that casually moves on from that murder after spending four decades obsessing over the same killer after a 5 minute home invasion and the murder of some friends. Indeed she seems to be acting a bit like a psychopath herself… yet this trilogy retconned her being Michaels sister.

This is a 3/10 and that is probably generous. You can find my full rant filled review HERE.

End of Part One

It’s AI generated, don’t read anything into it.

It’s worth noting that all but two of the bottom ten this year were franchise movies while six of my top ten were original and of the movies that were franchise films, Pinocchio is debatable as it’s just a retelling of the source material and has no links to any other Pinocchio story. Maverick meanwhile only became a franchise with this, it’s second movie and Beavis and Butt-head is a 90’s franchise that has been totally dormant since it’s brief one off revival season in 2011.

The important thing is, while they may not be original they are definitely fresh. Sonic 2 is the only movie in that list that could be argued to be a cynical cash in and it’s at number ten. Meanwhile the two original movies in the ten worst are 7th and 10th placed. There is a clear divide and it to me it shows that these big franchise movies are becoming lazier and lazier cash in’s relying more and more on their bloated CGI budget and spending less and less time finding stories that actually resonate with the viewers.

In Part two I will look at this years box office and we’ll see how well the box office receipts compare to the quality on offer. These things rarely match up and Hollywood only learn if they don’t make money. So we can see if there is really hope for movies moving forward. See you there.
