Knock at the Cabin
So a new M. Night Shyamalan movie has been released and that means that once again the internet will be split. Shyamalan has a reputation for big twists and risks that sometimes pay off and sometimes don’t. He in fact owes me 15 mediocre movies to make up for the existence of Avatar the Last Airbender. Knock at the Cabin did accomplish one of those spots.

Women Talking
Women Talking was a film I knew I had to see, the minute I saw the trailer. I also knew from the trailer that this was going to be a hard one to watch, yet it would be so worth it. This movie will also be on my 2023 list of films despite it being considered for Oscars and having a 2022 release date, it wasn’t widely released until January so I am counting it for 2023. Any story of trauma and abuse is going to be difficult to watch regardless of its rating, but what I truly appreciated about this film is that it was very clearly a story told by women.

Maybe I Do
The first 2023 movie of the year was Maybe I Do, a film we went into thinking that we were going to be watching a rom com. What we ended up watching was a deconstruction of marriage and relationships. Thematically it very much felt like the stage play it was adapted from and that was both good and bad for the film itself. With an iconic cast and the cinematography of a classic rom com, Maybe I Do held so much more for its audience than a meet cute and an act 3 misunderstanding.

James Gunn's DCU
After what felt like forever DC fans finally got some information on where the DCU is headed under the guidance of James Gunn. And it is everything I could have hoped for, as soon as Gunn was hired I all of a sudden had hope for DC. We finally have someone in charge who not only reads comics but respects them, he is using the amazing source material at his disposal to bring fans some incredible projects. All that said I would like to throw it out there that all of this means nothing if he allows Ezra Miller to continue in this universe. A good writer and director aside, I think asking our artists to be mediocre human beings is not too much to ask. Simply don’t be awful…not difficult. But here we go with all the projects James Gunn announced for the DCU.
