so many movies. yet i’ll probably only get to watch 10%, leaving the rest for later. a lot of headturning titles but.. will the directors deliver? and it’s usually the title that misrepresents the quality of the show. book adaptations (comics too) have a high botch percentage. game adaptations are even worse. best bets are usually those movies that you’ve never heard of before. otherwise you go in with a certain expectation and then the movies don’t meet it.
