Nosferatu (2024)
I really liked it, hard to fault but it didn't capture me like Eggers other films.
3/5

Asteriod City
Not bad

Can see why it's pretty much his lowest rated film

Just missing something

Last year was notorious for movie flops, but has anyone else found no appeal with any mainstream movies released in December 2024 and January 2025? Normally some blockbuster movies are released this time of year, but not this summer and none of the recent films in any genre look interesting or worth seeing. They look like streaming release movies.

Do we really need yet another biopic about Bob Dylan? Another musical biopic about an English singer/musician who for reasons nobody seems able to explain is portrayed by a CGI chimpanzee? A depressing melodrama about a young wife/mother who is dying of cancer but the scenes in the movie are out of sequence? A werewolf movie that looks from trailer alone flat out boring? Or a crime-action film that again looks like a Netflix movie?

At least with most of the movies last year they looked to have some appeal to their audiences before it became apparent they were no good (e.g. Madam Web, Argyle, Borderlands) or were perfectly good movies that simply failed to find an audience (The Fall Guy, Fly Me to the Moon). But this year so far ...

The prestige films this year do seem a bit less exciting. I don't see many Killers of the Flower Moon, Oppenheimer, The Zone of Interest, Anatomy of a Fall or The Holdovers of this lot of nominees. Of the five I've seen for this year, I'd only put Anora and maybe Dune 2 on that level, and of those I've not seen, only The Brutalist and Nickel Boys seem likely to match that. That's all subjective, but I do think we're now seeing the knock-on effects of the Hollywood strikes from a couple of years ago.
