2017 MID-TERM REVIEW
 |
| Elizabeth Olsen & Aubrey Plaza, Ingrid Goes West (2017) |
With The Venice Film Festival kicking off tomorrow, it signifies the cinematic year being officially half over and that awards season has officially begun. I say that as someone stating an observable fact and no longer with enthusiasm, as the awards, especially the big kahuna, The Oscars, are a joke. It’s 93 degrees in Los Angeles today, and awards season has begun.
Here’s my take so far on the movies this year.

Boss Baby, Despicable Me, Transformers, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Mummy … do I really need to go in depth and tell you these films were most likely terrible or at best, simply whatever? You could probably technically fit the new Guardians in this category, though I enjoyed it.
ANTICIPATIONS
Mother!
Gemini
Wonder Wheel
Wonder Wheel
The Killing of a Sacred Deer
Napping Princess
Murder on the Orient Express
Bright
Blade Runner, Star Wars, Thor, Justice League, Coco, Suburbicon, Downsizing, Marshall, PTA’s untitled new film, … you know I’ll definitely get to [insert film title here]. The title of the section is “anticipations”, not “things I need to see”.
