It’s the season to carefully evaluate and rank our favourite media of the year! The second ‘best 2020 media’ instalment is my official list of favourite films I watched this year. Note that the film didn’t have to be released this year, I only had to watch it for the first time this year for it to make that list. Out of the hundred forty plus films I saw this year, here are my top picks.

1. The Trial of the Chicago 7 (2020) Is anyone actually surprised by this? Aaron Sorkin’s brilliant screenplay captures the spirit of a joke trial while tying it back to civil rights struggles in America today. The film perfectly balances serious points, humour, and lays bare the way the American judicial system is supposed to succeed. Stellar performances from the main cast (specifically Yahya Abdul-Mateen, Eddie Redmayne, and Sacha Baron Cohen) make this my definite favourite film of the year.

2. Parasite (2019) Bong Joon-ho’s Best Picture deserved the award by a long shot. The well-paced screenplay contains a larger message in a smaller story, providing a puzzle of social metaphor for critical eyes and an obvious message for those just looking to enjoy a film. This thriller encapsulates the best qualities of the genre and benefits greatly from the storytelling chops of Han Jin-won and Joon-ho. The result is brilliant and timeless, buoyed to success by the acting skill of the primary cast.

3. Summerland (2020) This sapphic period drama brings a well-developed tale on World War Two and an engaging cast of characters with unique connections. Jessica Swale documents the rhythms of a quiet town with special attention to the film’s core relationships. The perspective is one that unifies several different viewpoints to create a complex and multilayered plot. I loved the ending; I felt very emotionally connected to the story and its characters.

4. 12 Angry Men (1957) My apprehension at watching this film was certainly misplaced. It is an interesting and well-written depiction of the injustice of the American justice system, highlighting individual biases and paying attention to characters in a claustrophobic environment. The ‘bottle episode’ premise is enhanced and perfected by the skill of the camerawork. In all ways, ‘12 Angry Men’ is a triumph of the legal drama genre.

5. The Seventh Seal (1957) Ingmar Bergman’s iconic masterpiece on life and death easily entered my list of all-time favourite films. The attention to cinematography, the wrenching pain of the script, the occasional comedy.... it combines to create a masterpiece that transcends its time. A person’s constant struggle is the dichotomy between life and death, and this is the theme that Bergman aces.

Honourable Mentions: Jojo Rabbit, Portrait of a Lady on Fire, Emma, Inception, Persona, Roman Holiday, Dead Poets Society, Kajillionaire, On The Basis of Sex, and The Half Of It

✰ This list is based on @jonismitchell’s personal opinion, not any quality metric or rated comparison.

The Best Horror Comedies of the 21st Century

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

Spooky season isn’t just about candy and trauma (although we enjoy those things as much as the next person), it’s also a perfect time to gather together for giggles. Horror and comedy go hand in hand and as well as the classics like An American Werewolf in London, Young Frankenstein and Army of Darkness the 21st century has coughed up plenty of new gems. We’ve rounded up 13 of our favourite to delight and amuse you this Halloween.

Tucker and Dale vs. Evil (2010)

Just because you’re a redneck, it doesn’t make you a psycho, in this deceptively adorable anti-slasher where a bunch of vacationing college kids keep accidentally getting themselves killed trying to escape from the harmless Tucker (Alan Tudyk) and his lovely friend Dale (Tyler Labine). Eli Craig’s directorial debut is gruesome, gory, and very funny, but the movie is more than just a gimmick: there are some top horror twists here, too.

Shaun of the Dead (2004)

Possibly the most iconic horror comedy of the 21st century, Edgar Wright’s Shaun of the Dead is the first part of the director’s “Cornetto Trilogy,” which all riff on genre and all star Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. Shaun is a “zom-rom-com” which sees Pegg’s leading man trying to win back his girlfriend in the face of a zombie apocalypse. It’s achingly British in its humor but has become an international cult classic, with cosplayers regularly dressing as Shaun. It came out in 2004 but still completely holds up today.

What We Do in the Shadows (2014)

The movie that spawned the excellent TV show is a deeply funny mock-doc about vampires who share a house, written and directed by Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement, who also star alongside Jonny Brugh and Ben Fransham. Set and shot in Wellington, New Zealand, the humor is silly, self-effacing, and specific. A genuinely hilarious riff on vampire and werewolf tropes.

Psycho Goreman (2020)

One of the most joyful new horror comedies sees an all-powerful force of evil bested by the small girl who inadvertently releases him from cosmic jail. Problem child Mimi and the brother she bullies discover they can control “The Arch-Duke of Nightmares” and rename him Psycho Goreman. They just want to play games, he just wants to destroy the universe. Packed with over-the-top gore, great gags, and a surprising level of sweetness, this is an ’80s-style schlocker with a modern twist.

The Cabin in the Woods (2012)

Directed by Drew Goddard, who went on to make the stylish, and star-studded Bad Times at the El Royale, this clever, surprising, love-hate letter to the horror genre is packed with rug pulls, reveals, and gags. The movie juxtaposes a typical gang of teens taking a doom-laden vacation and the white collar workers who are pulling the strings behind the scenes. If you somehow missed it–go watch! Now! If you’ve seen it before, this is a movie that rewards repeat viewing.

Slaxx (2020)

This Canadian eco-horror about, yes, killer trousers, which played the festival circuit before making its way to Shudder, is actually smarter than it appears. Slaxx is set around a trendy designer store which purports to be ethically sound but is anything but. Yes, there are multiple pants-based slayings as a sentient pair of jeans exacts its bloody revenge on the store workers, but there’s also dark satire and a killer sense of humor at work here–and surprisingly a catchy, cool dance routine to boot.

Zombieland (2009)

Zombieland: Double Tap seemed a little late when it came out in 2019, but that shouldn’t detract from the original, which was a refreshing take on the zom-com with great performances from its now-starry cast. Zombieland sees a bunch of misfits who name themselves after their respective hometowns navigate the apocalypse via a strict set of rules. Emma Stone, Jesse Eisenberg, Abigail Breslin, and Woody Harrelson star in this zippy comedy with heart, and a surprise cameo to die for.

Trick ’r Treat (2007)

If a film ever truly captured the spirit of Halloween it’s this one. Michael Dougherty’s seasonal anthology movie weaves together four stories with a wraparound that brings just the right level of chills and giggles–it manages to be both funny and scary without compromising either. A murderous school principal, a bus driver with a horrible past, teenage girls reclaiming the night, and a little kid dressed in a burlap sack bring the Halloween spirit to life in this cult movie with a cool cast including Brian Cox and Anna Paquin.

Happy Death Day (2017)

This Groundhog Day-style slasher sees college student Tree Gelbman (Jessica Rothe) get murdered on the day before her birthday, only to discover she’s stuck in a time loop and destined to relive the day over and over. It’s up to Tree to work out who’s been killing her, while fixing some bad life choices along the way. Blackly funny with some good kills–even if it is, largely speaking, the same person being killed–Happy Death Day is a glossy production from Blumhouse which spawned a sequel in 2019 that is also worth checking out.

Jennifer’s Body (2009)

Karen Kusama’s tasty teenage satire was somewhat misunderstood at its release, criticized by some for not being funny or scary enough. But in recent years it has been embraced for its feminist themes as Megan Fox’s popular cheerleader Jennifer becomes demonically possessed and begins attacking the boys at her school. Amanda Seyfried is great as Jennifer’s best friend Needy, while Fox shines in her best role. Juno’s Diablo Cody wrote the screenplay, too, so the dialogue is as spiky and sharp as Jennifer’s teeth.

One Cut of the Dead (2017)

Breakout Japanese indie One Cut of the Dead is a film of three parts, and there are three stages of watching. Part one: Why does everyone keep going on about this low-budget zombie film? Part two: OK fine, it’s smarter than I thought, but get a grip people. Part three: OMG One Cut of the Dead is the greatest film ever, I love it so much, it’s so clever and funny and brilliant, I must tell everyone I know about One Cut of the Dead. That’s all you need to know.

Freaky (2020)

It’s a concept so cunning we wonder why it hasn’t been done before. Magic hokum means a teenage girl suddenly swaps bodies with a deranged serial killer. How will she convince anyone that he is really her, while stopping her possessed body from murdering her pals? Happy Death Day director Christopher Landon heads up this quirky slasher comedy which stars Vince Vaughn and Kathryn Newton having the time of their lives.

Slither (2006)

Before he became a comic book movie darling, James Gunn made his directorial debut with this icky black comedy starring Nathan Fillion, Elizabeth Banks, and Michael Rooker. A small town is invaded by an alien parasite who takes over the body of one of the residents, transforming him into a grotesque, tentacled being intent on breeding and infecting the townsfolk. Influenced by David Cronenberg’s Shivers and The Brood, this is tongue-in-cheek body horror only for the strongest of stomachs.

cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });

see here’s the thing: deep down, i have this desperation for this show to be good because of the lead actors. you have park so-dam, who probably has a plethora of projects coming her way post-parasite awards campaign (she literally has a SAG like!! not to mention she’s literally known as the “jessica jingle” girl like that’s so iconic) and she chooses to come back to tv after 4 years of only working on film. then, you have park bo-gum, who seems to value quality over quantity when it comes to what he works on, so when he does choose a project, you expect it to be good in some way. i’m not saying that this drama HAS to be amazing, but i do have faith in these actors, who have the luxury to be picky about what they choose to work on. this drama could just be a big disappointment by the end, but i really hope it’s not. both leads are just too good to be in a bad drama. it’s such a disservice imo. when i heard psd and then pbg being casted i’ve been lowkey really invested in this show doing well.

New from Kevin Wozniak on Kevflix: What’s Streaming This Month? – April

As we all sit at home practicing social distancing and self-quarantining because of COVID-19, streaming has become one of the main ways that we keep ourselves busy while we are cooped up at home. Luckily, we have a number of streaming services to choose from, all of which are coming in really hot with the content this month. Netflix is coming with especially good content in April, but Amazon, Hulu, and Disney+ are all adding some great stuff for us to watch. Here are my picks for the best movies coming to streaming in April.

NETFLIX

Full list of everything coming to Netflix in April can be found here

THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY (Sergio Leone, 1966)

Sergio Leon’s classic is essential viewing for film lovers and Western enthusiasts.

HAIL, CAESAR! (Joel and Ethan Coen, 2016)

A hilarious Coen Brother gem featuring a terrific ensemble cast.

THE KILLING OF A SCARED DEER (Yorgos Lanthimos, 2017)

A sick, twisted, disturbing film from the great Yorgos Lanthimos.

THE LETHAL WEAPON SERIES (Richard Donner, 1987/1989/1992/1998)

Led by the dynamic duo of Mel Gibson and Danny Glover, the Lethal Weapon series is one of the great action franchises ever made.

THE MATRIX TRILOGY (Lilly and Lana Wachowski, 1999/2003)

Though the sequels don’t match the greatness of the first one (a tough task when the first one changed cinema forever), nobody makes movies like the Wachowski’s and The Matrix Trilogy is unlike anything we’ve ever seen before.

MOLLY’S GAME (Aaron Sorkin, 2017)

Aaron Sorkin’s directorial debut features masterful performances by Jessica Chastain, Idris Elba, and Michael Cera and Sorkin’s usual snappy dialog.

ROAD TO PERDITION (Sam Mendes, 2002)

The best movie of Sam Mendes’ career is a moody gangster flick featuring that last great on-screen performance from Paul Newman and Tom Hanks like you’ve never seen him before.

THE SOCIAL NETWORK (David Fincher, 2010)

My personal pick for the best movie of the 2010’s, David Fincher’s masterpiece has aged like fine wine. Everything from the performances to Fincher’s direction, to Aaron Sorkin’s ingenious, crackling script are perfect. This is one of the greatest movies I have ever seen.

SOUL PLANE (Jessy Terrero, 2004)

It’s complete nonsense and filled with shenanigans and crude humor, but I love this movie even though I know I shouldn’t.

TAXI DRIVER (Martin Scorsese, 1976)

This Martin Scorsese masterpiece proved why he and Robert DeNiro are one of cinema’s greatest director/actor duos.

AMAZON PRIME

Full list of everything coming to Amazon Prime in April can be found here

HOTEL ARTEMIS (Drew Pearce, 2018)

A fun little action thriller that would play as a perfect double feature with Bad Times at the El Royale.

I AM LEGEND (Francis Lawrence, 2007)

Depending your mood, I Am Legend, a movie about the last man alive after a global pandemic, is either the best movie to watch during this COVID-19 virus or the worst. It is, however, a really great film and feature the best performance of Will Smith’s career.

JAMES BOND [Connery, Lazenby, Moore, Dalton, & Brosnan] (Various Directors, Various Years)

About a year and a half ago, I made it my mission to watch all the James Bond movies. Why? Partly because I’m a maniac, partly because I think it’s essential cinema and they had been a blindspot for me. I succeeded in my mission and overall, I really like these movies. Some get rough, but some are quite great. Amazon is putting 21 of the 25 James Bond films on streaming (the only ones not streaming are the Craig-led Bonds), some of them even with 4k resolution which is exciting. Here’s a quick guide to these movies (I’ll dive more into this on a later list):

CONNERY: Best Film – From Russia With Love

LAZENBY: Only made one film, On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, and it’s one of the most unique and best of the franchise.

MOORE: Best Film – A View to a Kill (but his movies get really rough).

DALTON: Best Film – License to Kill

BROSNAN: Best Film – Goldeneye

These are cool movies and with all the time we have on our hands, give them a whirl.

LES MISÉRABLES (Ladj Ly, 2019)

No, this isn’t the musical about Jean Veljean. Ladj Ly’s 2019 Les Misérables is a captivating crime drama about police tensions with the people of the impoverished suburb of Montfermeil.

THE LIGHTHOUSE (Robert Eggers, 2019)

Like I Am Legend, The Lighthouse could be the best or worst movie to watch during this COVID-19 social distancing. Robert Eggers second feature looks at two lighthouse keepers (Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe, both outstanding) as they try to maintain their sanity while living on a remote and mysterious New England island in the 1890s. Gorgeously shot in black and white, this is a delirious look at madness and one I can’t wait to revisit.

HULU

Full list of everything coming to Hulu in April can be found here

BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM (Gurinder Chadha, 2003)

An inspiring sports film with a lovely pair of performances from Kiera Knightly and Parminder Nagra.

BLAZING SADDLES (Mel Brooks, 1974)

Blazing Saddles is one of the greatest comedies ever made and if you haven’t seen it, you need to change that immediately.

KILL BILL VOL. 1 & VOL. 2 (Quentin Tarantino, 2003/2004)

Quentin Tarantino’s two-part kung-fu western is one of the director’s great achievements and features a career turn from Uma Thurman.

PARASITE (Bong Joon-Ho, 2019)

In a movie year that gave us finales to the Avengers and Star Wars, Bong Joon-Ho’s masterpiece ended up being THE movie of 2019. The 2019 Best Picture winner is a movie unlike anything you’ve ever seen before and one you will want to watch again as soon as it is over.

SPIDER-MAN (Sam Raimi, 2002)

The game-changing comic book film that ushered in the modern comic book movie era, Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man is an absolute blast, filled with exciting action sequences, a great story, and terrific performances, including Tobey Maguire as the best Spider-Man to ever grace the silver screen.

DISNEY+

Full list of everything coming to Disney+ in April can be found here

NATIONAL TREASURE (Jon Turteltaub, 2004)

The National Treasure movies are a lot of fun and play like B-grade Indian Jones films for U.S. history buffs. But really, the greatness of this movie is Nicholas Cage and his uttering of his now-iconic line, “I’m gonna steal the Declaration of Independence.” Just incredible.

ONWARD (Dan Scanlon, 2020)

Pixar’s latest film hits streaming early thanks to COVID-19 and it’s a film that both kids and adults will enjoy. It’s a fun, exciting, beautifully animated film with nice themes and a good emotional punch at the end. It’s Pixar 101 and it’s fun stuff (full review here).

THE STRAIGHT STORY (David Lynch, 1999)

Did you know that director David Lynch, the insane mastermind behind Eraserhead, Blue Velvet, and Twin Peaks, once made a G-rated Disney movie about a man who drives a tractor across the country to mend his relationship with his brother? Well he did and it’s a lovely movie that you call can watch in April.
