In Fond Memory of Norman Bates
For those of you who recognize this character’s name, I hope it gives you some shivers. For those who have no idea who he is I will explain. One of the most creative and spectacular movie directors Alfred Hitchcock directed a terrifying horror movie starring a character named Norman Bates. Hitchcock made horror movies the way they should be made and all of them affect you psychologically. The story begins in 1960 when Hitchcock made the horror movie classic “Psycho” starring Anthony Perkins and Janet Leigh. The movie was based on a 1959 novel by the same name written by Robert Bloch. The book was about the crimes committed by Wisconsin murderer and grave robber Ed Gein.

The Bikeriders
I remember seeing the trailers for The Bikeriders and being vaguely interested but then I genuinely didn’t hear anything about it upon release and after it came out it was met with complete silence. I haven’t heard anyone talk about or acknowledge this movie which is a bit surprising considering Austin Butler’s recent success and popularity. And I am morbidly curious as to why so here we go.

Godzilla X Kong
When Godzilla X Kong came out this year I was excited because I love bad monster movies. The only Godzilla movie I have ever seen is Godzilla Minus One which is absolutely not a monster movie but perhaps one of the greatest movies I have ever seen. So I was ready for some dumb monster shit. This is your friendly reminder that I judge movies for what they are, I don’t expect every movie to be a cinematic masterpiece. I am expecting very little plot but some cool monster fights, if I get that then the movie will get a pretty high rating. It’s called managing expectations, and it's something a lot of you need to get better at.

Top 10 Movies of 2024
It’s that time of the year again when critics release our top 10 movies of the year. Some years are easier than others, naturally, but I don’t think I have struggled with a Best Of list as much as I did with this one. I had about 25 movies that I wanted to put into my Top 10 this year. There were simply that many great movies in 2024. From number 5 down, I could comfortably switch out one of 15 other movies and not feel too bad about it. With that, let’s get to our 15 Honorable mentions in list form…

Miller's Girl
When Miller’s Girl was released this year there was a lot of controversy surrounding the movie, for lots of reasons. The biggest of which is that false accusations are less than 3% of sexual assault reports and we know that most assaults are not reported. So making a movie that explodes this narrative that false accusations are a bigger problem than they actually are is extremely harmful. Second of all, as if to enhance this problem, Martin Freeman is not a great person. He has made several jokes about date rape and so his casting added to this first problem. So we watched the movie super legally so as to not contribute to anyone’s paycheck. For journalistic integrity I needed to see if the internet was actually right about the films issues...

Gladiator 2
Gladiator 2 is getting mixed reviews from audiences, and not doing too terribly well at the box office. But as we know by now box office success means nothing and I don’t trust the general public's opinion on cinema. So we watched it and though it is nowhere near the quality and influence of the original film it is still a well crafted and enjoyable watch.
