Don’t tell anyone, but I’ve actually done this list before. I’m not even going to link to it because it was years and years ago, and a lot has changed since then. I’ve watched and re-watched a lot more movies. And new movies have come out, affecting some franchises’ positioning on the list… for better or worse. Also, the previous list had one glaring omission… … Continue reading Top Ten Favorite Movie Franchises
I only recently got around to seeing John Wicks 2 or 3. I’m actually doing really well on that list of missed films from the 2010’s (COVID-19 has “helped”), and the Wick sequels were top priority there. I have been averaging four to five movies a week ever since I have been working from home and staying up later. It’s gotten to the point where on the … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: John Wick
It’s all led up to this. We’re finally at the Top Ten Movies of 2023. According to me. Because these are my articles. You’ll have your chance to give me your top ten at the end here. So be patient. But as a quick recall: I saw 113 movies released in 2023, and I ranked them all and gave the listings of all of my … Continue reading The Top 50 Movies Of 2023: #10-1
It’s round two! As I continue to countdown the Top 50 (out of 112) movies that came out in 2023–that is, every movie I would say I recommend fairly strongly–we are out of the 40’s and into the 30’s. Let’s get right into it! (Unless you want to relive where this list started with #50-41, then click HERE) 40. Missing Missing is the quasi-sequel, half-follow-up … Continue reading The Top 50 Movies Of 2023: #40-31
I easily cracked my January goal of having seen 100 movies that came out in 2023, having made it to 112 by mid-December, at which point I decided to call the year and get into my Best Of lists. I actually made it to the theater 40 times in total in 2023, for 38 individual movies, two of which I saw twice. The rest of … Continue reading The Top 50 Movies Of 2023: #50-41
It’s June! The official start of summer! Now, the movie industry will tell you that the summer starts in May, even possibly encroaching into the end of April, but I don’t buy it. Here in the Northern Hemisphere, summer starts June… June… June twenty-somehingth. I’m not sure exactly. It’s definitely a solstice. But that’s not the point. The point is… not May. They can release … Continue reading Top Ten: Summer Blockbusters
Franchises. No, not… I mean, MOVIE franchises. Why make one good movie when you can make somewhere between three and a hundred movies of varying quality, right? Hollywood is ON BOARD with this notion. If a movie is released to more than 2000 theaters nationwide, you can almost bet someone behind it all envisions it becoming a sprawling film empire. As someone who grew up … Continue reading Top Ten: Movie Franchises
