Here's my top 10 so far of films that have been released this year. In no particular order.
A Beautiful Day In The Neighbourhood
A film about the most important lesson you'll ever learn. Be kind & don't be a prick. Tom Hanks is amazing.
Becky
A teenage girl faces off with neo nazis and violently destroys them. And one of them is played by Paul Blart Mall Cop. Highly and disgustingly entertaining.
Calm With Horses
Dark and brooding Irish cinema at it's best. Leading man Cosmo Jarvis will blow away in this seaside set crime thriller.
The Invisible Man
A proper horror reboot. Terrifying and very very topical. Elisabeth Moss nails both terror and inner strength.
Color Out Of Space
Something weird lands in a garden. It's from space. Everything goes purple. The Thing is homaged. Nicholas Cage gets weirder than ever.
Parasite
A film that truly deserved best picture. Brilliant. If you haven't seen it watch it without reading anything about it. Ignore film twitter.
Queen & Slim
A date goes wrong. So so wrong. 2020 America in a nutshell. A superb movie that for some reason a lot of people fobbed off. Baffling.
Dating Amber
A lovely Irish watch about a gay boy and a gay girl and their plan to avoid school bullying. Lola Petticrew is going to be a star someday.
VFW
War veterans in a dive bar take on a drug fuelled gang. Its Assault On Precinct 13 meets Cocoon and driven by gloriously gory practical effects.
Waves
A family deal with growing up and the aftermath of a tragedy. Tender, horrible, beautiful with a superb showing from Kelvin Harrison Jr.
THE WORST OF 2020
Coffee & Kareem
A film from Netflix that's so bad you'll want to cancel your subscription, go upstairs, scrubs yourself with dettol and a brillo pad and then cry slide down the wall as you try to internalise your shame for having sat through it. This piece of shit doesn't deserve a picture.
