Top 15 Films of 2021

-
Yes, it's March and here I am doing my Top 10 15 of 2021. There were still a few films I really wanted to see before I made this list, so that contributed to its lateness. I also wanted to do something slightly different. With last year's weird Oscar cut off. I ended up putting out my list in January because it felt weird waiting until MARCH for the Oscar cut off. And because of that, 5 films that would've easily made my Top 10 were released between January and March and it felt wrong not to include them anywhere. So since they were *technically* 2021 theatrical releases in my region. I've decided to include them here. I'm calling them "holdovers." 

Top 5 2021 "Holdovers"








Top 10 2021 Films
















Honorable Mentions: Flee, The Eyes of Tammy Faye, The Green Knight,  The Tragedy of Macbeth, Passing.

    Good stuff and lots of movies mentioned that I really like. And look at this way, you still beat the Academy! :)

    Not a bad list. I've seen some of your picks. I'm hoping to catch up on some 2021 releases before the Oscars (though I'm now very likely to not watch it since they won't present all of the categories which is fucking bullshit). So far, Dune and The Power of the Dog are still in my top 3.

    Sam Elliot can eat shit over his opinion of The Power of the Dog. He's just jealous that all of those men in the film are prettier than him. Even Jesse Plemons is far more attractive than Sam Elliot. I think he's extremely handsome. Kirsten Dunst is a lucky woman.

      Elliot can kick rocks. What a stupid opinion lol. Dune, The Power of the Dog, and Nine Days are easily my top 3.

    Nice to see Spencer make the cut. I felt that while most people acknowledge Kristen Stewart's performance was outstanding, not nearly as many seem to be of the opinion that the film as a whole even beyond just her performance is great as well. :)

      I really respect it. Especially for showing the messy side of Diana that a lot of people want to ignore, even though it made her human.

    I have seen Spencer and applaud her performance especially that it showed her in one of the worst times-bulimic and close to suicide. I also liked that they showed how William was there for her. I just found it irritating including the music. I want to see the others...hopefully before the Oscars

      I liked how they portrayed William too. Now that Harry is fucking off to California it really shows his maturity. lol

Random Ramblings: The Radio Flyer Conundrum

-

Recently, I was talking to someone about who I thought were the best child actors when I was also a child.  Two that really stood out to me were Elijah Wood and Joseph Mazello, and one film those two were in together was called Radio Flyer.  Then I was reminded about the uniqueness of this film. Instead of reviewing the film, I wanted to have an open discussion about the ending. It deals with a tough issue; child abuse. What I’ve noticed is the way that the film ends is interpreted many different ways, and the filmmakers never came forward to say what was right and wrong. I’m interested in hearing everyone’s opinions on it. How did you interpret the ending? Obviously spoiler alerts will follow.. For those of you who haven’t seen the film, the basic premise is this: Two young boys, Mikey (Wood) and Bobby (Mazello) move in with their single mother and her boyfriend, who refers to himself as ‘The King’. It doesn’t take long for The King to start physically abusing ...

Indie Gems: Behind The Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon

Passionate about your profession? I had never heard of this film until it ended up on one of Jason's favorite horror movie lists around Halloween. It immediately sounded interesting to me, so of course I threw it in my Netflix queue. (and if I'm just now watching it after adding it around Halloween, you know how ridiculous my queue is) Taylor (Angela Goethals) is a journalist who, along with a film crew decides to follow around a serial killer named Leslie Vernon. (Nathan Baesel) He plans on doing the typical slasher thing - getting a bunch of drunk teens in an abandoned house and knocking them off one by one. He gets advice from a retired serial killer, Eugene (Scott Wilson) and is threatened by a man who's on to him, Doc Holloran (Robert Englund) Taylor and crew are there capturing it all. Leslie Vernon is fucking hilarious to start with, and clearly very passionate about what he does. He tells Taylor all of his secrets and can barely contain his excitemen...

My Favorite Movie Youtube Channels

Starting around 2018, I started watching Youtube for more than just movie trailers or music videos whenever a new one dropped. Now I'm in full blown subscription mode and don't bat an eyelash at watching a Youtube video that's over an hour long. I watch Youtube for a few different categories of content, but one of them that I love most is movie/TV essays and commentary, and that's what I'm going to talk about today. Below is a list of my favorite movie related Youtube channels. Let me know if you're familiar with them too, or if you have any you'd like to recommend to me.  Double Toasted - I'm honestly surprised this channel isn't bigger. I first came across Korey and Martin when they reviewed War for the Planet of the Apes a few months before it hit theaters and I thought they were hysterical. While their full length videos stream on Twitch, they often upload their movie reviews and commentary on youtube and they're always hilarious. They've...
