Nosferatu
As someone who went through a deep and intense vampire phase when I was about 13, one that never really ended, words could not describe how excited I was when the remake of Nosferatu was announced. Now I hate remakes on principal but I will never say no to more vampires. Vampires are always good, especially when we take them back to their roots. For those of you who don’t know the original Nosferatu film was an unauthorized Dracula adaptation so if you are noticing a beat for beat resemblance, you should.

Hit Man
Glen Powell has been a busy boy this year, for some reason. He is the most successful mediocre actor that I have ever seen. He is moderately attractive and somewhat talented. He is the most average that Hollywood has to offer and thus we all must endure him in about a thousand projects. It is one of many films this year that premiered at film festivals last year but earned their award eligibility this year. That is, they were released in theatres this year before being bought and distributed by streaming services. Hit Man did have theatrical runs in limited cities, normally that is done just so films can be eligible for awards.

Carry-On
Netflix has really cranked out the original content this year. Some of it good, some of it really really not but that is a separate discussion. We will now be diving into the plethora of original films Netflix has come out with this year. Starting with Carry-On, a new Jason Bateman film that is by all means a Christmas movie. Now I don’t have a lot of faith in Netflix’s original movies. They are more often than not, truly terrible, but it came out in 2024 which means that it is on the watch list.
