I’m impatient so we are starting a bit earlier with some Honorable Mentions The Wild Thornberrys - It definitely has its share of problems but tbh it has been one of the more fun pieces I have written and am proud of it. Hopefully I can build upon it in a sequel. Animal Crossing - I enjoyed this one more than others and thought it was a fun little family romp. Returning From Hell - While I didn’t dig it as much, Awkwafina slays in this film. New Tricks - A passion project while not as groundbreaking is well put together and very charming Mighty Fall - Another passion project that had some bumpy steps but ended up a fun time. Floodbath - An intense disaster drama that was lovely crafted. Castaways - It had its share of problems but it is a good improvement for Horizon Entertainment and I look forward to more from them. The World That We Knew - Another solidly put together drama that missed it by just a pinch. The Insect God and Walking With Dinosaurs - Both are well put together films constructed by @El Squibbonator and I look forward to more films from him.

8:30 PM EST 25 films, which will reign supreme? But first, I’d like to something kind this year, considering the pandemic and all, and since I want more linear scoring and further time to digest, I’ll be bumping up grades of some films which will be announced after the top 25 alongside December reviews.

The World That We Knew - B Despite some initial misgivings on combining both the fantasy elements of mythical creatures like golems in a rather dour drama, The World That We Know tells a pretty strong story, that is molded together by the golem character Ana.

Sorry. I should’ve been more clear. The human lead characters of the film aren’t too interesting to me but the film isn’t really about them.

November The Three Caballeros Ride Again - D To be honest, I don’t think it’s the worst film of the year or even in the bottom ten as far as CAYOM films go. While it’s basically an extended lemon fanfiction as a film and that’s it is basically just shock value, the main problem comes from narrative as there’s not much of a plot other than Donald being horny and he should be faithful but then still does the opposite. The greatest crime of this film is that it feels like nothing has happened. Castaways - B- A notable step-up from Horizon’s usual action franchises and especially Fullmetal Alchemist, Castaways brings pretty cool action sequences and great visuals making it a fun time but stumbles on story as well as building truly interesting characters. The Bronx is Burning - A Finally, CAYOM’s first film with Puff Daddy: Destroyer of Capeshit that’s not a filler, and how does it hold up? Pretty damn great. Michael B Jordan excels as Reggie Johnson as well as Bobby Canavale as Billy Martin as the two clashes combined with Scorsese sense of direction makes an exemplary sports drama. Returning From Hell - B/B+ Awkwafina delivers a powerful performance in this film, though I do find the subject matter rather intense and like what both Numbers and Ethan have said, perhaps the flashbacks throughout the cruelty could be used to make the film more digestible but all and all its a well put together film. Everything We Miss - A+ When I first preread this film sometime ago, I needed time to digest this film, as I do suspect this film to be divisive. The human lead characters of the film aren’t too interesting to me but the film isn’t really about them. The film is more focus on the message being the things we miss when we don’t pay attention when we should, and the way this film does it although it has a moment of repeating this message a lot but it is done so very intelligently, is captivating with the animated creatures being as either observers or provokers making it an interesting case study. Everything We Miss is an immersive avant grade animated film and possibly the most bold and inventive animated film we have seen from the game so far. Turkey Squad - D So this is the reality we get after the Snyder cut, huh.

October Olive’s Hallowed Eve - A Olive’s Hallowed Eve is a worthy successor to the Y5 smash hit. From it’s toe tapping musical numbers, to the ensemble of loveable and entertaining characters and a heartwarming script. However, what really shines is the creative risks the sequel took. Olive 2 is darker than the original which makes sense for a Halloween themed film but shines the most with its strong narrative Zendaya as Olive has a terrific arc about finding her own purpose after doing something extraordinary making her feel depressed which is really relatable and the arc comes to a great conclusion. Dawson, while not as great as Gyllenhaal’s Postman is still a very effective villain and arguably more menacing. Clement also shines as the socially-awkward Tortie who becomes part of the conflict while keeping him very empathetic. I think the original is just an inch better but Olive 2 is a worthy successor. I look forward to Olive 3: Valentines Day. World of Trouble - A World of Trouble is a satisfying conclusion and an emotional thrill ride to The Last Policeman trilogy. Elhenrich (who replaces the shamed Elgort) as Hank Palace helps carries the film and bring a delightful sense of vulnerability as he searches for his sister Nico (played by Dever) after the events of the last film. The cast here is well composed, all giving great moments as the clock counts down to the last seconds of Earth as we know it but the most impressive thing is the twists and turns the film takes. World of Trouble is a great film and I’m glad to see such a great piece of work come to fruition. Out of Order: The Decline of The Arcade - B A pretty solid documentary about video games. Nothing more. Nothing less. Dirty Hands - A- Another great Numerator crime thriller, this time with more Carry Coon as Alice, a lawyer whose client David (Jeremy Strong) murdered a high ranking Syrian official but the politics at play show more sides to the story. The ensemble, like most Numerator crime thrillers are greatly assembled and the mystery of the truth at hand is well done as it delivers a banger of a third act. I felt it was a bit slow in the beginning but that’s a minor complaint. Dirty Hands is a spellbinding political thriller that I’m sure will entice audiences. The Life of a Guinea Pig - D This insipid family comedy is short on laughs, wit or anything moderately entertaining. Note: Upon further reflection, I would like to bump Strangers in The Town to a C+/B- as I feel I was unfair to the movie, even though it wasn’t my cup of tea.
