I don't mean this in a "movies suck now" kind of way, I actually think 2022 was a pretty good year for movies and 2024 will probably be better
but yeesh, 2023 seemed like a particularly bleak year for film. of those I've seen on this list, the only ones I'd heartily recommend are Bottoms and Nimona. maybe Beau is Afraid and Infinity Pool, but those are definitely not for everyone. oh and the TMNT movie was a lot of fun
(I haven't seen Flower Moon yet so don't get mad at me, Scorsesebros)
but please feel free to CMV and recommend any good movies from this year, whether they're in this image or not!
They Cloned Tyrone is pretty good. I think everybody here would vibe with it. Also, How to Blow Up a Pipeline, Venture Bros Movie, Sisu (purely for the Nazi killing, just gotta ignore the history before that), wandering Earth 2, and as far as Marvel slop goes Spider-verse is still the best of it.
Oh, and if you want slop of Nic Cage having fun being Nic Cage, Renfield and Sympathy for Devil.
My reputation will never recover from this.
I feel like I appreciated what They Cloned Tyrone was trying to do more than I actually enjoyed watching it. also felt like it was trying to do what Jordan Peele and Boots Riley have already done better. But it wasn't bad at all, just fine. IDK maybe I'll give it another chance sometime.
John Boyega and Teyonah Parris are both really good. ofc Jamie Foxx too but I really didn't like how the abusive pimp was portrayed as a likeable character
Yeah, I get that, a lot of movies and shows bug me when they get like the most charismatic guy in hollywood to play the space nazi or asshole with superpowers or something but I felt like they did a pretty good job of demonstrating how the characters were victims of circumstances created by the system? Lol, I mean, I'd like to say I don't think anybody walked away from watching the movie thinking that it was endorsement of that kind of behavior, but we know how people are nowadays. So, yeah, I get ya.
I loved They Cloned Tyrone. It was a surprise hit for me.
