Nine-Patch Star

 

We’ve seen thirty-one movies in the cinema so far this year. Several films, like Oppenheimer, Asteroid City, The Color Purple and Killers of the Flower Moon, we deliberately avoided. A handful of the ones we caught – Shazam 2, The Little Mermaid, The Flash, Indiana Jones 5, and Wish – were huge disappointments. It’s not that they were horrible movies (okay, a couple were), but we’d hoped for so much more. Some movies – A Man Called Otto, Jules, Champions, Honor Among Thieves, and Are You There, God? were really tricky to catch in theaters. Even The Marvels and Haunted Mansion seemed to have been buried by films that were expected to earn more. We never managed to see White Bird, though the trailer looked promising. We have tickets for Wonka and Aquaman 2, which bring our total to thirty-three. Not bad for a post-COVID year with an actor’s strike and a writer’s strike.
