Most Mediocre Movies of 2024
There were a lot of incredible films this year, there were also a lot of terrible films this year. But most movies filled the space in the middle. Not groundbreaking or award worthy, and not so terrible that you’ll never stop complaining about them. In fact most of the movies that came out this year were very good, they just weren't great. These are not the movies we are talking about today. Today we are talking about the films that are so mediocre you just forgot about them, or they were just a point or two away from being absolutely horrible or absolutely fantastic. These are the most mediocre movies of 2024, in no particular order.

The Watchers
At some point in last year's movie discussions we are going to have to talk about the sheer amount of nepo babies that were actually fantastic in movies. Because there were quite a few. But they were not just in them, they were making them. The Watchers is the directorial debut of Ishana Night Shymalan, yes M. Night Shymalan’s daughter. Her father produced the film and she both wrote and directed it. Now M. Night’s movies are rather hit or miss, and he often shits the bed in the third act, so is this a genetic trait? Or will his daughter actually follow through, let’s find out.

My Thoughts About the 'Brave New World' Trailer
A new year brings new movies. This year, a total of 50 films are scheduled to be released in theaters. Among the slate of movies is Captain America: Brave New World. A fitting Valentine's Day release is a perfect time for you and your significant other to see this superhero film. Or if you're single like myself, this is also the movie that you should go and see. The 35th film of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, or MCU, stars Anthony Mackie, Giancarlo Esposito, and legendary actor Harrison Ford. However, I dislike Valentine's Day for a number of reasons. First, I feel like it makes single people like me feel miserable. Second, it's too commercialized and forced onto those who don't have a romantic partner to spend this day with. Third, it puts too much emphasis on highlighting couples expressing their love for one another in commercials and other forms of media. It's not to say those are bad things to promote. I've been single for a little over five years. In 2019, I was engaged to be married in March 2020. However, complications made it impossible for me and the man I was with at the time to make our wedding happen. I won't go into details, but we mutually decided to part ways, even though we loved each other very much. I'm nearing 40 and haven't given up on finding love again.

Spellbound
Children’s movies have been just delightful the last few years. And one of my favorite young actresses is Rachel Zegler, so when I found out that she was in an animated film, I knew that I was going to have to check it out. Spellbound actually has an incredibly stacked cast and I know no one hires Rachel unless they are going to let her sing. So I am super excited to dive into this animated musical adventure.

Don't Move
I definitely watched more than my normal amount of Netflix films this year and honestly that is because streaming services have really stepped up the amount of original content that they put out. And I feel it is my job as a film journalist to keep a good pulse on the quality of said content so that I can direct people accordingly. I will say that both Netflix and Prime Video seem to be putting a lot of time and effort into romantic comedies. But we have explored a few other genres as well. There have also been a lot of horror/thriller films. Today we are tackling Netflix’s Don’t Move. A film that based on the premise I can’t believe that got an hour and a half out of, let’s see how.
