2021 isn’t over yet? It feels like it is. In multiple conversations I've mentioned it being 'last year'. I'm having fun running stats on my viewing habits, sort of like a Spotify Wrapped. A Filmify Wrapped, if you will.
The 5 Worst Movies of 2021
Knock Knock
Man what the fuck is this movie? I hate crap like this. On one hand, yeah. Ya fuckin got me. Ana de Armas and whoever that other woman was, in a hot, pornworthy plot, featuring John Wick? Sign me the fuck up, dick and all. Ya fucking got me. Is that what this movie is about? Getting me? Using my phallic fallacies against me? God I hate this movie.
Spiderman: No Way Home
I watched Spiderman. You watched Spiderman. We all watched Spiderman.

Halloween Kills
The movie sucked. I don’t like slashers, but even for a slasher, this thing sucked. Why did they make it? Who the fuck is Michael Myers and why can’t he die? Why are these people unironically chanting ‘Evil dies tonight’? These answers may likely be best left unanswered.
Why Michael Bay’s Transformers films are Narrative Genius
Is Michael Bay a genius? Are the Transformers movies anything more than a loud, sexist, racist homophobic mess? There may be a meaning buried under this crap.
The Danish Girl
The Danish Girl is a wonderful, thought provoking, uncomfortably intimate story of one Lili Elbe, and her discovery, acceptance and transition from being born a biological male, to being the woman that Lili was always meant to be. I highly recommend the film.
