- Blade Runner 2049
Director: Denis Villeneuve Starring: Ryan Gosling, Harrison Ford, Ana de Armas, Dave Bautista Of all the movies on this list, this is the one I'm saltiest about. All the reviews were fantastic, the trailers are intriguingly brooding, and Villenueve's last movie, Arrival, was fascinating. And after catching up with the original Blade Runner this fall, I was excited to see the much-acclaimed follow-up. Unfortunately, life got in the way and I missed it. Now I've gotta wait for it to be released on streaming next month. |
- Get Out
Director: Jordan Peele Starring: Daniel Kaluuya, Allison Williams, Catherine Keener, Bradley Whitford I skipped this one in theaters because horror isn't really my genre and I found the trailers kinda off-putting. But many are calling it the best film of 2017, and after how much I enjoyed IT and Happy Death Day, I'll probably have to give this one a shot. |
- The Disaster Artist
Director: James Franco Starring: James Franco, Dave Franco, Seth Rogen, Ari Graynor I really wanted to catch this movie in theaters. Like, really badly. But because I live in North Dakota, it never got a release in my area, and now I've gotta wait to catch it on streaming. Oh well, I guess that means I've just got more time to finally watch The Room, the inspiration for this movie. As an aside, I'm pulling for The Disaster Artist at the Oscars, just because I think it'd be hilariously ironic if a movie about the worst movie ever won an Academy Award for Best Picture. Here's hoping! |
- The Big Sick
- Geostorm
Director: Dean Devlin Starring: Gerard Butler, Andy Garcia, Ed Harris, Jim Sturgess Okay . . . this is a bad watch. Honestly, I just want to see how rotten this movie truly is. It's supposedly one of the year's worst, and laughably bad at that. I was actually gonna check this one out for my "Worst of 2017" list, but it's out of theaters and won't be available for awhile. I'm hoping it'll be the "so bad it's good" flick I expected "Transformers: The Last Knight" to be. Maybe I'll get around to it. If I run out of literally all other forms of entertainment. |
- Logan Lucky
Director: Steven Soderbergh Starring: Channing Tatum, Adam Driver, Daniel Craig, Riley Keough Hey, I like heist movies. I like Soderbergh. This film's got a solid cast. That's really all I know about it, but I'll give it a chance sometime. It was the other film of 2017 featuring my first name in its title, so it deserves at least a chance, right? |
