The Ballad of Wallis Island
When I saw the trailer for this movie I knew it was going to be one of those quieter films that I tend to love a lot. The fact that the core cast were also the executive producers also made me excited because that means that everyone involved really believed in and cared about the story and that is normally a sign of a well crafted film. So I knew it was on my must-watch list.

Wicked: for Good
I knew this would happen, first of all and most OBVIOUSLY... it's not "wicked for good" it's "Wicked: for Good" punctuation means something. Secondly, what makes Elphaba actually Wicked? What does she DO that is actually evil? Tell me you don't know what you're talking about even harder because you clearly did not even google search the thing you are talking about at all, this is so stupid

Elio
Elio is one of the quietly released movies this year, I don't recall it having an extreme marketing push. Disney seemed to not care whether this movie succeeded or failed, because we all know they have the funds for a good marketing campaign, they just chose not to. That said few people knew this movie was even being released, and even less people actually saw it in theaters. However box office return is the last indicator of movie quality so here we are.

The Air Master Anime was Awesome!
In the early oughts, I was on a mission to watch all the martial arts #anime I could find, and believe me, that was a lot harder in the early 2000s than it is now. The discoveries I really enjoyed were titles like “Fist of the North Star”, “Shadow Skill”, and the OG “Baki The Grappler” that fortunately debuted before 3D slop infected anime like the bubonic plague. Overall though, there is one anime that stuck in my memory because of its wacky humor, it’s zany atypical characters, and even some deep moments that truly spoke to me. This anime is dubbed “Air Master”, and it is probably one of my favorite anime. I watch it at least once a year.

Lost Films of the 1980s: The Unfinished, the Unreleased, and the Unbelievable
The Forgotten Decade of Lost Cinema The 1980s gave us E.T., Blade Runner, Back to the Future, and The Terminator. But behind all those classics was another, stranger Hollywood — one littered with movies that never made it past the vault. Some were victims of bad luck, bankrupt studios, or bruised egos. Others were finished, screened for executives, and then buried forever.

The Joke About “Woke” Art Something that never fails to amuse me in the endless online outrage about so-called “woke” art is this: the movies that get tagged as “woke” are almost never showing us anything new.
