It's been a weird start to the s on the big screen. You may not have noticed, but while last year still had a ton of good and enjoyable movies, it also had less of them overall. That seems to be swinging back the other direction in a big way in I've been making lists of my most anticipated and, eventually, favourite movies of the year for the entire decade so far, and this is by far the longest list I've ever made; there are tons of great movies set to release this year, with everything from romantic comedy, terrifying horror, big-budget spectacle , and auteur-driven mastery expected to hit the screens this year.
In short? It should be pretty great. Chances are, you won't be able to see everything good that comes out this year. But guess what? That's OK. The movie you miss in could become your new favourite in ; that's just the way this works sometimes. For now, though, we're here to help you get an idea of all that is coming β and, again, it's a lot. So sit back, get a drink, get some popcorn, and read through for our list of the movies set for release in that we're most excited for.
It's gonna be a fun year. The cult-favourite action heist frenzy from is back for round 2, but in a totally different but still super fun story led by returning players Gerard Butler and O'Shea Jackson, Jr. You're going to have a lot of fun with this one. Director Steven Soderbergh's CV has proven that he can do quite literally anything he was behind Ocean's Eleven, Erin Brockovich, Traffic, Magic Mike, and Che, just to name a few , and he really puts that to the test with his spooky and inventive new film Presence.
How inventive, you might ask? Well, the entire film is shot from the perspective of a ghost haunting a family in their new home β and it is both expertly-made and thrilling. But the characters are great too; Chris Sullivan is particularly strong as the family's father, while Lucy Liu plays a vapid mother with expertise and Callina Liang is a revelation as the daughter whom the story essentially revolves around. One tip? Go into this one as blind as possible; there are thrills throughout that you will not see coming.
Just know that it's a fun, violent, wild ride. Halloween has Halloween. Christmas has Black Christmas. And now Valentine's Day has Heart Eyes. Sure, there are plenty of other holiday slasher flicks out there including both the original and remake of My Bloody Valentine , but Heart Eyes looks like a totally entertaining and super fun take on the holiday-themed slasher.
