Top Movies of 2022
Solid year for movies, particularly with ensemble casts.
10.  It’s a three-way tie between three horror films: Smile, Barbarian, (pictured below,) and X.
Tumblr media
2022 was a great year for the horror genre fan.  Tons of great examples ranging from big budget, to micro budget, from a movie like Smile, which examines the anxieties of day-to-day life, to a classic “Don’t go in there!” movie like Barbarian, which also has a social commentary to make about the state of relationships between members of the opposite sex, or X, which on the surface is a sexy slasher, but in reality has a fair share of commentary as well, talking about society and individualism.  All movies are subversive, offering up much more than meets the eye.
9. Ambulance
Tumblr media
Never thought I’d see the day where a Michael Bay movie would top my list, but here we are.  This is arguably the most understated Michael Bay films of all time, and considering it’s less-than-impressive box office, arguably the most underrated.  That said, it has all of the flourishes that make Michael Bay films impressive, with flashy camerawork, and larger-than life explosions, and has a little bit of everything you’d want from a movie like this: it’s a heist film, it’s a car chase film, it’s a shoot out film, it’s a buddy comedy, it’s a drama about two brothers, and has more than the usual amount of emotional depth in a Michael Bay film, showcasing a star performance from Jake Gigglesandall.
8.  Confess, Fletch
Tumblr media
Jon Hamm, combining his effortless charm with a Chevy Chase sense of sarcasm, starring in a movie from the director of Superbad and Adventureland, that is an old fashioned sort of murder mystery comedy.  They don’t make ‘em like this anymore, but I wish they would.
7.  Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris
Tumblr media
Another old fashioned movie that they really don’t make anymore: a feel good movie.  Plain in simple.  The movie takes place in the 1950s and feels like a movie from the ‘50s, about a lower class Englishwoman who saves up her money and goes on an adventure to Paris to go a buy a Christian Dior dress.  It’s got hints of Cinderella, Sabrina, and a dash of Pretty Woman for good measure.  Just delightful.
6.  The Fablemans
Tumblr media
Steven Spielberg making you feel all the feels.  That’s all I feel I need to say about that.
5.  The Menu
Tumblr media
Rising star Anya Taylor-Joy is an outsider restaurant patron going toe-to-toe against Ralph Fiennes’ obsessed chef, in a social satire thriller taking place over the course of one epic dinner.
4.  Glass Onion
Tumblr media
Daniel Craig leading another great ensemble cast, (including Kate Hudson, honoring the legacy of all the bubbly characters her mom brought to life through the 70s, 80s, and 90s,) in a sequel whodunit that surpasses the original.
3.  Scream
Tumblr media
Another classic Scream movie with all the wit, suspenseful set pieces, and intelligence of the original.  The O.G. cast is still great, particularly David Arquette, and the new ensemble is great is well.  Props to Jenna Ortega who between this, X, and Wednesday, had a great year and became a new scream queen.
2.  The Batman
Tumblr media
It may not rise to the greatness of the Nolan trilogy and be a half hour too long, but after Zack Snyder’s tenure at the helm of the D.C. universe, this was a welcome addition to the Batman franchise.  Battison was great, (though his take as Bruce Wayne is probably my least favorite, as was the rest of the cast, most notably Zoe Kravitz, who easily joins the esteemed company of great Catwomen, Michelle Pfeiffer and Anne Hathaway.
1.  Top Gun: Maverick
Tumblr media
Yep, I went with the obvious, mainstream answer.  Don’t care.  This is everything you want from a movie: you’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll be thrilled, Tom Cruise being a movie star, Jennifer Connelly being everything you want in a love interest, the young cast is great, the visuals, sound design, the younger ensemble cast lead by Miles Teller, the older supporting cast lead by Jon Hamm, the soundtrack...a great, mainstream American popcorn movie that was one of the few long-awaited sequels that was well worth the wait.

극장을 나오면서 벅차오르는 감정, 정말 오랜만이다. 아니, 잊고 있었던 또는 다신 못느낄 것 같았던… “내가 걸작을 보았구나!” 게다가 마지막 장면은 내가 평생 봤던 영화들 중에서도 역대급 손에 꼽을 만하다. #스티븐스필버그 #파벨만스 #stevenspielberg #thefablemans #fablemans https://www.instagram.com/p/CqDpafLBG7X/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Here’s my shot of Judd Hirsch at the private red carpet screening of 'Rally Caps.' It was pretty amazing to get to shoot Judd Hirsch twice within 3 weeks. @rallycapsthemovie #taxicompany #thefablemans #rallycaps @directorsguild #dga #juddhirsch @juddhirsch #redcarpetevents (at Directors Guild of America) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmIn_v4LScu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
