Poor Things
Poor Things starring Emma Stone was released at the end of December and it reminds us that film should be creative and a little bit weird. The movie takes risks and gives the audience a visually interesting exploration of humanity. Emma Stone delivers an Oscar winning performance and Mark Ruffalo delivers one of his most entertaining performances to date. Poor Things is sure to get the academy’s attention come nomination day and I can’t wait to see it receive recognition.

The Iron Claw
The Iron Claw finally has made its way to the big screen and it is easily one of the most amazing and upsetting movies of the year. The casting was incredible and the story is hauntingly accurate. The Iron Claw will probably be overlooked by the academy come Oscar nomination time, but that would be a mistake. The Iron Claw is seriously an incredible and emotionally gut wrenching movie. If you like family stories that might send you into a depression spiral or it might have you calling your siblings crying then this is for you.

Top 10 Lifetime Villainesses of 2023 (Part 2: The Top 5)
I'm going to admit something: deciding who would be part of the first half of the year-end top 10 list this year was quite difficult. 2023 gave us a lot of very delicious villainesses on Lifetime's networks, and deciding who would be in the first half of that list wasn't easy, but it was done, and the list can be found here. Now, while deciding the first half was hard, the top 5 wasn't. As early as the beginning of fall, I had my top 5 cemented. These villainesses were truly the best of the best in 2023, and I'm still beaming over how delicious and epic they were!

Top 10 Lifetime Villainesses of 2023 (Part 1: #10 - #6)
Can you believe this is Year Three of this list on Vocal? Seems like yesterday that I first did this. This year's gave us some very delicious villainesses, including a number of actresses finally entering the dark side of a Lifetime movie for the first time. Here's how this list has evolved already. Two years ago, it was only villainesses from Lifetime and Lifetime Movie Network. Last year, I decided to mix it up and add some baddies from Lifetime Movie Club and Tubi, because the latter's thrillers are basically Lifetime movies. For this year, I gave Tubi their own list (click here for that story), but this list will still feature the best villainesses from Lifetime, Lifetime Movie Network, and Lifetime Movie Club. This was a hell of a year for Lifetime villainesses, and I truly enjoyed it.

Amadeus (1984)
Introduction From: Film Forum There were very few great movies in the 1980s but not only did Amadeus (1984) become the best film of the decade, some people now regard it as one of the greatest films of all time. Dark, intense and sometimes even comedic, this movie based on a play based on a rumour of the death of one of the most prolific composers of all time is a perfect rewatch just to take in all of the atmosphere. It is a truly wonderful movie, fantastically acted and incredibly put together. From the cinematography to the dialogue to the performances to the music, everything in this movie is perfect. In all the years I have watched and rewatched it, I have never been able to fault it at all. Dare I say that it could be one of the most perfect films ever made? Yes, I dare.

The Last Voyage of the Demeter
When the first trailer was released for The Last Voyage of the Demeter, the film received some criticism. Even before its release people mocked the idea of Dracula on a boat. These people have never read Bram Stoker’s Dracula because the movie was based on the captain's log that was in fact in the novel. Which the movie directly tells you right at the beginning. But unfortunately most people dismissed this movie out of hand due to their own illiteracy.
