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.
