At the beginning of the year, people cried, “There’s nothing coming out this year! The strike ruined everything!” Well, I’m here to tell you that those people were wrong. I wrote down every interesting movie scheduled to come out for the rest of the year, and by the time I was done, there were too many movies. The list was too long. I went through and cut all the stuff I didn’t care about. So, for you Kevin Costner fans wondering where the upcoming 6-hour, 2-part western epic Horizon: An American Saga is, that’s what happened. Also, if you see something listed and are wondering why I’ve listed a bad movie, I’ve done that on purpose. Yes, The Crow looks atrocious, and I can’t wait to watch it. There’s nothing I love more than having one of my favorite movies and books needlessly remade into what might be the worst movie of the year. And don’t bring up Venom. The people making that know they’re making a bad movie. ANYWAYS, without further ado, here is the best of the rest of 2024 in (theatrical) movies.
