Movies

What's everyone looking forward to in 2025? Either Awards Contenders, Personal pleasures, Big Hits? What's going to be great this year?

It's simply impossible to predict what's going to be in the year end conversation at this time. Just look at this year as a great example. 


Anora
The Substance
The Brutalist
A Complete Unknown
Emilia Perez
I'm Still Here

Who was talking about these movies one year ago? Basically nobody, that's who. 

This upcoming year: I don't have many things earmarked that I'm really looking forward to in a big way. I guess this year will be a "take it as it comes" type thing. I know I'm admittedly anxious about the Springsteen movie, being such an enormous fan of his work throughout my life. So: 

Deliver Me From Nowhere

I haven't been a big fan of the last couple of PTA films; but I'm a huge fan of Thomas Pynchon, and PTA can sometimes really hit big for me, so: 

One Battle After Another

I also loved the stories in Stephen King's book of novellas: If It Bleeds. So, after winning the audience award at TIFF, I'm looking forward to seeing how they adapted: 

The Life of Chuck

There's a ton of films you could throw together in terms of potential awards talk. I know the Julia Roberts film is one of the most talked about, as is the J Law. For me, I've liked the work of Greengrass, so perhaps a poignant film that could work in terms of awards (maybe sorts of comebacks for both Greengrass and McConaughey) could be: 

The Lost Bus

For fun: I'm looking forward to: 

28 Years Later
Mission Impossible
The Running Man

And hopefully there's some great animated films; I always treasure the good ones. 2024 was a fantastic year, don't expect that again, but here's to hoping.
