Why Don’t Audiences See Original Movies?
Franchises dominate the box office while original movies struggle now more than ever. Let’s analyze the reasons why audiences don’t see original films.

It’s a topic that’s been on a lot of people’s minds, mine included. So, let’s talk about why seemingly no one sees original films anymore! 👇🎬👇🎬
Yep, this one didn’t work for me. WICKED: FOR GOOD has its moments and technical merit galore, but its attempts to weave through other source material completely backfire. 😕

"For about an hour, it’s a very solid if slightly scattershot continuation of the #Wicked story. But as soon as the Wizard of Oz plot makes its way in, the entire thing falls apart."

Wicked: For Good Film Review - Not Wonderful
Wicked: For Good takes many huge swings but makes for a technically impressive but disappointing conclusion to the Wicked story.

Getting to see #WickedForGood with a close friend was a great experience.
I sadly can’t say the same for the movie itself. Full review tomorrow, but… man, that’s tragic.

I rewatched Wicked to prepare for the sequel (early screening Monday night!) and an ultimate song ranking. And god dammit, I’m gonna go through another Thanksgiving with these songs stuck in my head, aren’t I?

GOOD BOY makes a swift but petrifying meal out of its novel setup: a horror film from a dog’s perspective. Indy is a precious star, Ben Leonberg excels at building a terrifying sense of helplessness, and the ambiguous meaning is equally beautiful and devastating.

#OneBattleAfterAnother is an exceptionally impressive juggling act of high-octane action and chaotically intertwining threads. It pulls out enough of a heart with the familial arc despite some characters getting underserved and the bitch-basic commentary of oppression = bad. 8/10

I’m lucky enough to be near one of the VERY few theaters playing HIGHEST 2 LOWEST. And it’s fantastic. Spike Lee still knows how to make his eclectic, indulgent, anything-goes style as thoughtful as it is ludicrously fun.
