2024 has been a funny year for entertainment. Unlike many previous years, I cannot speak of one cinematic even that truly stood out. There's no Barbenheimer counter programming despite Glicked trying too hard to be a thing (maybe if they chose Wadiator it would be different?). No teenagers in tuxes turned out for Despicable Me 4 like they did with the pandemic-delayed Minions 2. And more to the point, there were a notable lack of comic book movies whirling through projectors. It is also the year that, after the success of Everything Everywhere All at Once and Poor Things (which was a 2024 movie in the UK), the uber-weird became the new critical darling. Watch The Substance, Love Lies Bleeding or Rumours and you'll see what I mean. But that doesn't mean there wasn't a memorable one. Far from it. Read on to hear my year in movie review and catch my Top 10 while you're at it...
