Feelin' Film

It's time to welcome in 2024 with a typical horror-thriller film that isn't strong enough to release in the summer or fall. A truly interesting supernatural mythology is wasted until the film has already tested your patience and its jump scares mostly come off as silly more than scary, but the nostalgia for those who grew up with a swimming pool and the feeling of danger bodies of water can bring are conveyed fairly well.

A surprisingly adorable, funny, family-centric, and affirming adventure story with vibrant animation. This story has meaningful family representation and less constant empty slapstick nonsense than the typical Illumination film, and it is refreshingly welcome.

This novel turned Broadway musical turned film adaptation is an absolutely dazzling and emotionally stirring knockout. Its tremendous ensemble cast, dynamic direction, and musical numbers that soar tell a story not just about the awful human capacity to hurt each other but also for resilience, hope, support, and ultimately forgiveness. A bold retelling perfect for introducing a new generation to this powerful coming-of-age tale.

Sean Durkin's melodramatic biopic definitely pulls some punches when it comes to the tragedy of the Von Erich family, but still manages to balance emotion and fact in a strongly impactful way. In-ring choreography feels authentic and respectful of professional wrestling while remaining entertaining, and both heartbreaking and enraging performances bring this painful story to life.

Cooper really has it as a director, presenting a mesmerizing biopic focused on the complicated relationship between Bernstein and his devoted wife Felicia. The film is almost entirely interested in the famous conductor/composer's prolific affairs with men, and spends precious little time on his career by comparison, sadly only giving us one rousing musical number, but it's a fascinating project because it shows a genius artist largely stripped down to who he was when not on a podium and the sacrifices made by a wife and others to support him in achieving his goals.

A wonderful sporting achievement is competently relayed here by George Clooney but with a disappointing lack of personality. There are moments of genuine inspiration, during boat races for example, but the much more heavily focused on character drama falls very flat.

Sean Durkin delivers a melodramatic sports biopic that flips the typical genre beats with this powerful, profound story of a wrestling family pushing for greatness at a terrible cost. Tremendous filmmaking that features Zac Efron's best performance yet in a terribly tragic story.

Hayao Miyazaki returns, 10 years after his semi-autobiographical previous final feature which led him into a lengthy hiatus. In what many believed would now be Miyazaki's new final film before retirement, the legendary animation director tackles blending the real life grief of a boy who loses his mother in World War II with a fantastical story about an artistic creator passing the torch. Though there are many outstanding individual elements, this one didn't come together for us in the way that most of his films have, and the lack of emotional connection to it left us a little disappointed.

Damian Wayne, at his most adorable ever, tries to save Christmas from a classic rouges gallery of Batman villains in order to prove to his father that he's ready for superhero work. Though aimed at kids and with a definite Saturday morning cartoon tone, this Batman super fan found plenty to enjoy and was left wanting more after a ridiculously fun reference-filled holiday romp.
