I hate insomnia. Oh yeah. Last year I had four cases of it, and each time it lasted three months.

Have you seen A Different Man?

No, not yet.

Which ten are you wanting to see? I want to see:

All We Imagine as Light
Black Box Diaries
The Brutalist
A Complete Unknown
Hard Truths
I'm Still Here
Nickle Boys
Queer
September 5
Sing Sing

Queer and Sing Sing are very good... I recommend you A Different Man as well. It had one of the more interesting stories of the year.

Can't wait to see The Brutalist of course - And then Vermiglio, The Girl with a Needle, Misericordia, The People's Joker, I'm Still Here, How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies, Hundreds of Beavers, Do Not Expect Too Much from the End of the World and the latest thing that Letterboxd brings to my attention, lol.

OPEN FLOOR.

The year 2024 didn't bring me any particularly excellent movies.
I had high expectations for Alien Romulus, but it was a bit of a disappointment.
Gladiator 2 was okay, but not a larger-than-life show. Likewise, Max Max Furiosa, Joker: Folie à Deux, and Deadpool & Wolverine were okay, but a nothing special.

Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F was better than I expected (I didn't have high expectations for the movie).
Dune 2 was great, it lived up to my expectations...it was probably the best movie of 2024 for me.

There's a 2024 movie that's got 411.5 stars out of 415 on Rotten Tomatoes viewer reviews.

Probably the highest ratings I've ever seen on there.

No, we're faithful to the man we already have, thank you very much.

Of the big movies or popular movies, I loved Dune 2, The Substance, Anora.
The others that I loved & I feel need more attention from everyoe:













Brutalist hasn't released here in India yet (24 Jan), though I have already fallen in love with it & I'm really looking forward to watching it.

My top 20:


1. Trap
2. Hundreds of Beavers
3. Thelma
4. Irena's Vow
5. Exhibiting Forgiveness
6. Anora
7. Abigail
8. Rebel Ridge
9. Civil War
10. Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga
11. Self Reliance
12. Alien: Romulus
13. We Live In Time
14. That Christmas
15. The Fire Inside
16. A Complete Unknown
17. Bad Boys: Ride or Die
18. Wolfs
19. Boy Kills World
20. The Last of the Sea Women


But I just watched my first new movie of this year, which is apparently officially a 2024 movie, and this would probably go in my top 10:
