Message: [QUOTE="Gorse, post: 16935, member: 73"] 2024 is over in a few scant weeks, and what has Hollywood got to show for it!? Let’s talk notable movies and TV shows we enjoyed that came out this year! Because I love you, I’ll even let you post about foreign movies that came out in 2023, but only hit general audiences this year. [B]Please mark all spoilers, as necessary.[/B] Let’s dig in! [ATTACH type="full" align="left" width="178px" size="800x1200"]4988[/ATTACH]GORSE’S PICK FOR MOVIE OF THE YEAR:[B] [/B]Why, it’s [B]Late Night with the Devil[/B]! This was a very well-done horror film about the single scariest subject imaginable: 1970s late-night talk shows! A flailing TV host invites a “possessed” girl on-stage during a live broadcast, and let’s just say he gets a little more than be bargained for. ;) I thought this movie had some really excellent characterization — I liked all of the players a lot, and the cast was picture-perfect. Even minor characters are memorable and rich with personality, and the ‘70s atmosphere was nailed perfectly. My only gripe is that the SFX were a touch lacking, and some of the scares were slightly forced, but I’d absolutely recommend this one if you’re looking for a good, non-jumpy scarefest. [ATTACH type="full" align="right" width="153px" size="854x1280"]4989[/ATTACH]I also saw [B]Mars Express[/B] this year, but I didn’t really like it. The animation was fucking sublime — the French know 3D modelling like no one else — but the story was a bit jumbled and the characters were horribly rote. The movie had loads of neat concepts and ideas, and I cannot overstate how breathtaking it was to see how colourful and lively it all was, but when I say out loud “Oh god, THAT’s where they were going!?” during the ending, there’s a problem. Give this one a watch, but don’t pay money for it. I’ll continue updating this thread with my picks later on. For now, I’d love to hear what you saw and what you thought of it in our lord 2024!
