Movie Review: 2018 Revue

Movies! They are these things that you go out to the theaters to see. Remember theaters? Turns out they still exist! And I still go to them. This year, I saw 35 movies. Not bad.

Either 2018 was an extraordinarily strong year for movies or I was in an exceptionally good mood all year long and was rating movies higher than they deserved. I gave out three 5-star ratings and fully eighteen 4-star ratings. Insanity! Looking through them, I don’t see much that I think I would change. It was, indeed, a good year for movies!

This was also the year of the cursed MoviePass experiment. What a wretched company. They changed their business model more times than Donald Trump lies. See infinity movies at infinity theaters! See each movie once at infinity theaters! See select movies once at infinity theaters! See only the two movies we say you will watch at only a few theaters that carry them! Most theaters will have exactly one showing a day where you can use MoviePass, but feel free to go to these other theaters that are infinitely out of your way to see the movies that we want you to see!
