WOO 2023
Lets talk about my top 10 films that came out in 2022! I watched a lot of films last year!
1. Everything everywhere all at once
I could write essays on this movie but putting it simply I watched this film in theatres 5 times. There was nothing in this movie that dissapointed me. Its an incredible example of nihilism vs existentialism and I cried 3/5 times i saw it. I now own it on dvd.
2. Bullet train
Bullet train I saw ever so slightly less coming in at 4 cinema visits! Fantastic visuals and soundtrack. Wonderful casting and a fabulously written script! One of my favourite examples of a film that is just fun to watch. I'll be honest on the 3rd and 4th time I was a bit bored but theres not as much going on to rewatch as EEAAO.
3. Black panther: Wakanda forever
I started crying and I dont know if I stopped? An incredibly touching tribute to Chadwick Boseman and a heartbreaking reminder of who we've lost. I think this is the best marvel movie since endgame honestly.
4. The unbearable weight of massive talent
Nick Cage is unironically one of my favourite actors and him and pedro pascal have created an amazing piece of media here. It is so funny and thats all it needs to be! Its just 2 guys getting to know eachother. Fair enough theres some action and spy shit going on but with that removed it is just pure fun.
5. NOPE
A slightly controversial one I know, However, I will never get over the wacky inflatable arm tube men. Im not even joking. They are what made me want to see the film in the first place! No but an excellent example of terror vs fear and a perfect film to discuss questions like "how far should you go for the shot" and issues like exploitation of animals.
6. Three thousand years of longing.
First and foremost its Tilda Swinton and Idris Elba enough said. This movie is gorgeous. The cinematography is beautiful and the costumes the makeup the set design the props my word they did not dissapoint! The message of the film is largely isolation but also behind that theres a sense of love is eternal and how much would you do for love. I couldn't recommend this film more.
7. Matilda
Ok this one is the music and choreography for me. It's a fun film and i loce the set design for it. The costume for mrs wormwood is to die for and I want it all. Theres not a huge moral like the others on the list its a good example of what goes around comes around and good prevails. The camerawork is amazing too.
8. The Menu
Everyone in this film is an awful person EXCEPT Anya Taylor Joy's Character and I live for it. The pacing is wonderful, the camerawork again fantastic and the characterisation!!! There is so much tension and it keeps building until you reach the climax its a wonderful. I like to think the film is about anti capitalism and the death of creatives due to the preassure of critics.
9. The banshees of inisherin
My favourite type of media is where nothing happens but SO MUCH happens. (Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead is a wonderful example of this) and Banshees is an amazing example of that. At its core its about loss and lobelyness. Plus It has a RELATIVELY ACCURATE autistic character and thats my favourite part.
10. Don't worry darling
DON'T BOO ME DON'T YOU DARE. OK I ENJOYED IT. SOMEONE HAD TO! HARRY'S ACTING WASN'T EVEN THAT BAD YES IT COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER BUT THERE WAS SO MUCH SHIT GOING ON CAN YOU BLAME HIM! plus I was living for the drama of DWD and no it was not at all about feminism or the female orgasm but it was about control and it was a fantastic film to showcase that.
Honorable mentions go to:
Where the crawdads sing, Batman, The bad guys, Sing 2, violent night, JJK:0, Multiverse of madness.
Thor does not get an honorable mention and I will not see avatar 2 because I want it to flop.

A few spots on her face are bloody, specifically a cut across her eyebrow. Behind her, there's a pink circle which emanates many love hearts. They fade off into the light orange background. Each one has a circle in it, resembling googly eyes. There's a slight fuzzy static effect over the piece.]

"Because when I read the script [of Everything Everywhere All At Once], I thought, 'This is something.' Oh, dear. [Fans eyes and tears up, wipes eyes] No, this is something I've been waiting for for a long time. That's going to give me the opportunity to show my fans, my family, my audience, what I'm capable of. To be funny, to be real, to be sad. Finally, somebody understood that I can do all these things [laughs]."

My Best of 2022: Supporting Actor
My Best of 2022 is a series of annual lists in which I pick the best of the best from 2022, all leading up to my official picks for My Top 10 Films of 2022.
This is always my most difficult category... and my favorite. It’s so difficult because, let’s be honest, any of these top six or so could very easily stand strong on its own in the top spot. Ke Huy Quan gets it, though, because on top of being a ton of fun, he also balances the longing and disappointments throughout with a gentleness that makes you feel for him every single step of the way. But Mark Rylance is really close with a performance as wholly disturbing as it is depressing. Brad Pitt was one of the few saving graces in an otherwise shit-show of a film, and his character is the only one with a solid, completely realized character arc. The Banshees fellas are neck-and-neck, each creating totally different, but equally complex characters. I’m surprised Hopkins ended up being this low, and while the final four spots could be interchangeable, that doesn’t take away from the performances... at all.
Okay, here they are…
My Top 10 Performances by a Supporting Actor in 2022!
1. Ke Huy Quan in Everything Everywhere All at Once
2. Mark Rylance in Bones and All
3. Brad Pitt in Babylon
4. Brendan Gleeson in The Banshees of Inisherin
5. Barry Keoghan in The Banshees of Inisherin
6. Anthony Hopkins in Armageddon Time
7. Judd Hirsch in The Fabelmans
8. Brian Tyree Henry in Causeway
9. Paul Dano in The Fabelmans
10. Jeremy Strong in Armageddon Time
Enjoy!

Inktober Day 6: Here With You
Everything, Everywhere, All at Once broke me as a person. Might be the best movie ever. The rock scene is the most powerful scene. That's all.
