DOH! I forgot! “Love Hurts” - Day 1, in theaters!
- The Electric State
- 28 Years Later
The 3 i look forward to the most (2025 releases only)
-
“A Big Bold Beautiful Journey”: Directed by Kogonada, who made some of my favorite movies (Columbus and After Yang), Colin Farrell and Phoebe Waller-Bridge? Sign me up
-
“Warfare”: With Alex Garlands track record that’s another no brainer to me
-
“Mickey 17”: I’m a sucker for good science fiction. Directed by Bong Joon-ho with Robert Pattinson and Steven Yeun? Yep that does it.
Honorable mentions:
-
Avatar 3: For the visual spectacle and will certainly go watch it on the best screen possible.
-
“Tron: Ares”: Not a huge fan of Jared Leto, but he also isn’t a dealbreaker. He was in the new Bladerunner and that one turned out well anyways.
-
“Frankenstein” by Guillermo del Toro should come out this year and sounds interesting
-
“Death of a Unicorn”: Purely based on the premise
-
“28 years later”: Actually still haven’t come around to watch 28 Weeks Later, but liked 28 days.
Also looking forward to watching “the Brutalist”, but that was already released, just haven’t come around to watching it yet. And ofc there are plenty of movies far out like the next Christopher Nolan movie, but that isn’t coming this year.
edited in avatar, because I forgot we get one this year
-
I try and see every genre movie that makes the cinema and as many award contenders as possible.
I’m looking forward to:
- The Monkey
- Mickey 17
- Ballerina
- 28 Years Later
- Superman
- Fantastic Four
- Nobody 2
- Saw XI
- Tron: Ares
- The Black Phone 2
- Predator: Badlands
- The Running Man
- The Toxic Avenger
- A Quiet Place, Part III
Mickey 17 & The Battle of Baktan Cross
Mickey 17 for me and Dog Man for the kids.
Looking at the list here:

I still haven’t seen Nosferatu, I still want to sit down and re-watch a good version of the original first. Probably won’t happen until it’s all on home video.
I didn’t know Star Trek: Section 31 was a MOVIE, I thought it was a streaming show… But I’ll watch Michelle Yeoh do anything.
Becoming Led Zeppelin in IMAX should be fascinating.
Captain America: Brave New World - What can I say? I’m a giant comic book nerd.
One Night in Tokyo looks promising, but I get the feeling this is just “Lost in Translation” again.
The Gorge sounds fun, but only Apple TV+
Cleaner - ? Man, I haven’t seen Clive Owen in AGES!
Old Guy - Looks like RED only with Christoph Waltz
That’s pretty much it through February…
In the Lost Lands - Not interested, but the description sounds legitimately INSANE.
“A queen hires a sorceress for werewolf powers but pays a price. Warrior Sharra fights a dragon to find her lover, seduced by a lord who’s the real gatekeeper. A barbarian girl falls for a deceitful witch’s promises in a spacecraft.”
WTF did I just read?
"Who’s Involved:
Paul W.S. Anderson, Dave Bautista, Milla Jovovich, Amara Okereke, Arly Jover, Deirdre Mullins, Simon Lööf, Fraser James"
I didn’t know Star Trek: Section 31 was a MOVIE, I thought it was a streaming show…
It’s a streaming movie, I suspect they downgraded it from a series at some point.
“A queen hires a sorceress for werewolf powers but pays a price. Warrior Sharra fights a dragon to find her lover, seduced by a lord who’s the real gatekeeper. A barbarian girl falls for a deceitful witch’s promises in a spacecraft.”
Well I’m sold.
I watched the trailer and I still have no idea what’s going on…
George R.R. Martin is somehow involved? Is this why we don’t have the next book yet?
Although I can’t match that description to the trailer, IMDb has something similar:
A queen, desperate to find happiness in love, takes a daring step: she sends the powerful and feared witch Gray Alys (Milla Jovovich) to the “Lost Lands” to give her the magical gift of turning into a werewolf. With the mysterious hunter Boyce (Dave Bautista), who supports her in the fight against dark creatures and merciless enemies, Gray Alys roams an eerie and dangerous world. And only she knows that every wish she grants has unimaginable consequences…
So it might be a garbled version of the plot or it gets a lot wilder and weirder.
Tron: Ares
Oh! They are doing another Tron?
Oh… Jared Leto? Ew. Nevermind.
Trent Reznor is doing the soundtrack, so it’s gonna sound awesome at least
Well there is that! Hands down the best thing to come out of the 2nd movie was a new Daft Punk album.
I fancy a bit of Star Trek but it doesn’t look like I have long to wait.
