the curse of la llorona based on a true story

It’s frustrating that there are reviewers and general audience film-goers that have already seen A Quiet Place Part II. I see nothing about this film that makes me nervous, and seeing that the studio has pushed it enough times for a stronger release window tells me that they think it’s pretty special too. This installment further builds on Spectre (a film I liked while acknowledging its faults) and where this Craig storyline has been building, and that trailer was excellent. It’s expected to be the final outing of Daniel Craig, an actor considered in the upper echelon of Bond performers, and it also happens to have the stamp of a director like Cary Fukunaga, director of the entire first season of True Detective.

I don’t think many film fans are really remembering the caliber of talent to this next installment of the James Bond franchise. I’m not entirely convinced that this will make the release date, but that doesn’t change my excitement. Here’s hoping that Wingard and WB can pull this off as the MonsterVerse has seen diminishing returns on their cinematic universe and they need a win to keep this thing going. There is so much setup, specifically from Kong: Skull Island and Godzilla: King of the Monsters that I can’t wait to see how it all comes together. All the same, I’ve enjoyed all three entries in the MonsterVerse to varying degrees, and the choice to bring in Adam Wingard to direct this cinematic beatdown is a rather interesting one.

The wacky release off this and other WB films have taken a bit of the wind out of my sails, but these movies will need releases and the studios need to start making money to survive at this point. I would really rather see this thing on the big screen, but I’ll have to settle for HBO Max. Ugh, I’m so sad that this is coming out before I’ll be vaccinated. Well, we’ve waited a year to see some of these. IT’S JUST A LIST AND THE FILMS ARE LISTED BY THEIR (TENTATIVE) RELEASE DATE. There are always a lot of blockbusters on these lists, because these are the films that are most often discussed in the months and sometimes years leading to their release. Most of the films that end up on my Top Ten at the end of the year are ones I might not even have heard of at this time. This is my most anticipated, not what I think will be the best films of the year by any stretch. It’s the next best thing to actually seeing them. We will still get excited for what is on the way and celebrate the (possible) films of 2021 that I am clamoring to see. Many of the films on this list were supposed to come out last year, and they simply…didn’t. Now, we don’t really know what movies are officially coming out this year. Now, we must reckon with the rubble of 2020’s unreleased films and the evolving film landscape that we will be living in through at least the end of the year.
