We’ve got movies again!
It seems that due to the recent extended lockdowns down under, digital access to blockbuster theatre-only movies has been accelerating of late. It’s not the same speed for every studio – at the time of writing it still looks like we’re a way off from digital releases for Shang Chi, No Time to Die and Venom 2 – but given I didn’t even get to 20 new movies last year, I’ll definitely take this scenario. So here’s the second half of that 20, real quick-like:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
A Quiet Place Part II
“In just 90 minutes, brutally wraps up the first one.”
Minari
“Slow–burning emotional decathlon gives way to waterworks–inducing catharsis.”
Wrath of Man
“Seems simple until it’s performing violent revenge–flavoured time gymnastics.”
In the Heights
“Sustained audiovisual flexing from start to finish + some fun changes.”
Luca
“The most powerfully wholesome movie in years, but starts sluggishly.”
Fast & Furious 9: The Fast Saga
“Better than the first four, worse than the other four.”
The Suicide Squad
“James Gunn runs amok, for (mostly) better and (occasionally) worse.”
Vacation Friends
“Finally convinced me that I’m biased towards weird holiday comedies.”
Free Guy
“A videogame movie that understands videogames?! Way better than expected.”
The Guilty
