All the Movies I Watched in 2021

I still can’t believe he did this

2021, the longest and shortest year on record, has nearly come to a close. Plot twist: I somehow watched MORE movies this year than 2020 when I wasn’t allowed to leave the house? 418, so not actually that much more but certainly more than I expected! I got vaccinated in the spring and immediately started reuniting with everyone in my life. Granted, those reunions happened at the movie theater more often than not. And I had a great time! I’m just stunned at that number. It does not feel like the only thing I did this year, but it seems to be the majority? I played tennis! I got laid! I watched Succession! I read some books! And yet I still had time for Puss in Boots??? Not going to question it any further. Movies are great!

2020 list is here. Wonder how many of these I can never watch again because they remind me of some of the worst days of my life lol!

2021 Top Ten

Despite an unconscionable amount of dreck, there were some pretty solid flicks released this year. Wish the Oscars weren’t at the end of March; my tolerance for awards season has never been lower. I just don’t give a shit man! I keep forgetting The Power of the Dog has actual awards promise because I actually liked it! Maybe I’ll be excited when the ceremony rolls around, but for now I’m excited to not think about new movies for a few months. Sonic the Hedgehog 2 isn’t until April. I’ll go longer on these for Hassle at some point. Just need a little rest. The word I’d use for most of my favorites this year would be “audacious”.

10. The Card Counter dir. Paul Schrader

Schrader don’t miss. Only a couple years after he made the best film of the 2010s, the man returns with First Reformed’s gnarly brother. Oscar Isaac is sublime in his role as “tortured torturer”, finally acting the movie star we know he can be. Amazing that an old bastard who loves using Facebook can put together one of the only politically coherent films of the year. Was there anything more romantic than Oscar and Tiffany Haddish walking through that garden of lights? Yes, a couple in films further down this list, but you know what I mean. Paul, please make the Cat People sequel Tiffany wants. You know she’ll make it perfect.

9. Parallel Mothers dir. Pedro Almodóvar

Penélope Cruz makes a scene where she is checking her emails the most dramatic moment of the film, and this is why she must win Best Actress. I don’t want to say anything else. Pedro’s current era is yielding some fascinating stuff. Pain and Glory felt like such a “final film” that it’s thrilling to see he’s not resting on his laurels. Love him!

8. West Side Story dir. Steven Spielberg

Totally blew me away. Well staged, well shot, hot twunks. Everything I could ask for from a film that was born because Spielberg was compelled to make a musical. He made it worth our while! Too bad no one cares about it.

7. The Matrix Resurrections dir. Lana Wachowski

It shouldn’t have worked at all. But Lana took WB’s money and ran. She managed to make a film about why a Matrix sequel is a bad idea and not only dig into that concept, but also make a Matrix movie that hardly feels out of step even coming eighteen years later. What the Wachowskis believe in more than anything is love. If you ride their wavelength, anything is possible. Neo and Trinity represent everything Lana wants out of the world. The climax is, at its core, two trans women in love escaping the spectre of suicide on a motorcycle, learning things about themselves they never could have comprehended alone. Jada in old age makeup the whole movie… genius! Genius! I am so happy for girls.

6. Luca dir. Enrico Casarosa

Probably the best movie about the summer you’re really into hanging out with a slightly older kid for reasons you don’t really understand other than it feels great to be around him. Why are you sweating? Get it together he’s teaching everyone how to do this improv party game in a bathing suit. Anyway, if Pixar has to make franchise films every year to fund personal projects like this, I can’t be mad.

5. The Power of the Dog dir. Jane Campion

Campion’s back and she’s horny as ever. Hasn’t skipped a beat! Just had a great time inhabiting this world of the nastiest bitch ever being cruel to Kirsten Dunst until a surgery-obsessed twink enters the picture. Who doesn’t love destroying one’s self with internalized homophobia and making it everyone else’s problem? When I saw Jane in person at NYFF she said “I think hills are really sexy. So many secret alcoves and streams…” Never, ever change Jane!

4. Dune dir. Denis Villeneuve

The French Canadian took a massive sci-fi story I’ve always found entirely impenetrable and made it work. Granted it is only the first half of the book so there’s still time for things to go sideways (the wet fart of It: Chapter Two lingers in my mind), but so far, so good. It feels as huge as a story about prophecy, eugenics, a coven of space witches, worms, and human computers should. There’s little hand holding, just enough to explain why things on screen are sick as fuck. Rebecca Ferguson! We love her. The throat chanting of “DREAMS ARE MESSAGES FROM THE DEEP” before the Warner Bros. logo could even rise has stayed with me since that packed IMAX screenings.

3. Old dir. M. Night Shyamalan

Have you spoken to me in the last five months? Then you’ve heard everything you need to hear about Old. Go watch Old.

2. Evangelion 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time dir. Hideaki Anno

The long-awaited and long-delayed finale to the Rebuild of Evangelion film series finally dropped, somewhat unceremoniously, late this summer on Amazon Prime. Obviously I pirated it and screened it in my backyard. It could have gone so badly, but somehow a 2.5 hour film about living through the apocalypse and fistfighting your dad really does come together with a bang. There’s so many moments where I just laughed out loud at the sheer ridiculousness of it all. The biggest takeaway seems to be that Anno no longer wants to die. The biggest plot twist of the film is (spoilers) Shinji tries to talk to his horrible father and wants to understand why he has awakened Evangelion Imaginary (I know…) and that fighting won’t solve anything. It’s the sort of thing that never seemed possible in all of Evangelion. If Hideaki Anno can figure his shit out, there truly is hope for everyone.

1. The Souvenir Part II dir. Joanna Hogg

I believed by now I’d have more concrete things to say about The Souvenir duology but every thought leaves me gasping for air. Cried as hard as Julie does when the Berlin Wall comes down. The pot breaking is the jump scare of the year. Julie’s journey is one we all hope to be on. Creating is life. A wall can become a door. Here’s what I know: there are many things we will never get over. It’s just impossible. Until one day, we do.

The Inaugural ‘Memoria’ Award for ‘Most Memoria’

Memoria!

I just didn’t feel right putting this film, directed by Apichatpong Weerasethakul (Joe to friends like me) alongside my regular top ten. First of all, it hasn’t like, come out. Second, it is such a strange and singular experience I don’t know how to compare it to the rest of 2021’s output. There’s a whole sequence where we just watch a man fall asleep and “die” and when he comes back Tilda just asks if he wants some water. There’s truly nothing like it. I won’t say more, just keep an eye out when it actually shows up in your town with whatever this release strategy ends up looking like.

Other 2021

Once last glimpse before I delete this film from my brain

I don’t remember watching half of these. But I love getting free movies in my inbox. Keep it up, publicists! Thank you! Some horrible garbage in here too. In 2022 I’d like to become psychic and figure out which movies are mid and don’t need to be seen. The thrill of returning to theaters has worn off. It’s too easy to just watch a 3-star yawner!

Best Movies Ever

Movies rock! Some non-2021 films I saw that are perfect.

The Night of the Hunter
Secrets & Lies
Beauty and the Beast (1946)
Seven Samurai
Yojimbo
Possession

Spoor

Spoor!

Just wanted to give a shoutout to my main man Spoor. Based on the novel Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead by Olga Tokarczuk, Spoor manages to adapt a very internal book about an eccentric old woman into a similarly compelling mystery set in rural Poland. To quote director Agnieska Holland in an interview for The Guardian: “One journalist for the Polish news agency wrote that we had made a deeply anti-Christian film that promoted eco-terrorism. We read that with some satisfaction and we are thinking of putting it on the promotional posters, because it will encourage people who might otherwise not have bothered to come and see it.” Go watch Spoor! It’s on the Criterion Channel.

Superheroes

Hoo nelly. After a year off, it sure is horrible to be back! Desperate for a way to discuss contemporary film without having to think about Marvel. Seems impossible even for people who claim to hate them. I just don’t say anything, it’s very easy to not give them the space they crave. I wish these movies were as good as the superfans believe. It would make me feel a lot better. I didn’t despise any of them, they all just kind of sucked in different ways. Except Venom: Let There Be Carnage, which had the proper sense to be about 84 minutes long.

Superman: Red Son
Zack Snyder’s Justice League
Man of Steel
Black Widow
The Suicide Squad
(I cannot believe they tried this again. I also cannot believe it didn’t work!)
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
Venom: Let There Be Carnage
Eternals
Spider-Man: No Way Home

Documentaries

I’m like 30, I need to accept that I’m just never going to be a documentary person. Never my first choice! I think I just prefer my nonfiction in audio or book form. These were good though.

Marwencol
Fireball: Visitors from a Darker World
The Murder of Fred Hampton
Daddy and the Muscle Academy
Documenteur
Summer of Soul
(Dan and I saw this on the lawn at the MFA and the crowd booed when Lin-Manuel Miranda showed up)
Nationtime
The Bloody Child
(Kind of? I still don’t understand what I watched)
Satoshi Kon, the Illusionist

Sundance 2021

Can’t wait for this on the big screen

My first Sundance and I didn’t even have to leave my house! Had a lovely time watching films of all stripes. My favorite happened to be the first I watched: Albert Birney and Kentucker Audley’s handmade mind-bender Strawberry Mansion, finally getting a release this February.

Franchises

Always an easy way to make my annual to-do list seem more robust. Oh, there’s like 12 Star Treks? Great, let’s do it. It’s fun to see these things change hands, get worse, get better, become entirely incomprehensible. In 2022 I intend to work my way through Bond, but we’ll see how far I get before I take an extended break. I think fewer arbitrary goals where I don’t do anything except watch some movies is not the worst idea in the world. Does anyone know how to get new hobbies.

Chucky

It is hard to imagine a time in my life before Chucky. I watched the original Child’s Play last fall and was fairly freaked out. Noticed most of the sequels were on Netflix this spring and decided to get going. Turned out to be one of the best decisions I made this year. Don Mancini, who would hit me up on Grindr the second he saw me, has a real vision for this murderous little doll with the perfect voice of Brad Dourif. This series goes from scary, to stupid, to hilarious, to ridiculous, back to scary constantly, often in the same films. I don’t know if “queer sensibility” means anything these days, but it’s true the second Jennifer Tilly appears on screen that these movies turn gay as hell and there’s no going back. The follow-up series continues to double down, giving the lead role to a gay teenager and showing us how we can’t trust allies, not even if they know the lingo. Especially if they know the lingo.

Child’s Play 2
Child’s Play 3
Bride of Chucky
Seed of Chucky
Curse of Chucky
Cult of Chucky
Child’s Play (2019)

Halloween

I mean they were basically all bad except H20 and the Zombie ones. I just couldn’t look at them on my big to-do list anymore. I started having dreams about Michael Myers because I was watching them as I fell asleep. Was really running a risk of bringing him to life there. As far as I know it did not come to be.

Halloween III: Season of the Witch
Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers
Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers
Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers
Halloween H20: 20 Years Later
Halloween: Resurrection
Halloween (2007)
Halloween II (2009)
(Basically if a dumb guy made Fire Walk With Me???)
Halloween Kills (Genuinely obsessed with how bad it was. Like wow.)

Riddick

I did not like these at all. This is what happens when I watch things for Blank Check.

Pitch Black
The Chronicles of Riddick
Riddick

Mortal Kombat

Fun and stoopid! I dunno, the games always unnerved me as a kid — not for the gore, but for the way the animation looked. Now I think it looks sick. Did they ever confirm a sequel to the new one? It’s not like WB has much going for it. Give us Noob Saibot!

Mortal Kombat
Mortal Kombat: Annihilation
Mortal Kombat (2021)
Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion’s Revenge

Star Trek

My relationship with Star Trek does not expand far beyond TOS, the favorite of my friend’s father when we were growing up (and I assume still, it’s not something that leaves you). I saw 2009 in high school as one of the first blu-rays to enter my possession, and Into Darkness in theaters. Rewatched those, still like 2009 a lot and blame Into Darkness for why movies are like this now. There’s a world where I leaned into Star Trek instead of manga as a teenager, and I wonder what changed. Anyway, had a great time with these movies, especially Khan (obviously) and Undiscovered Country, which I did not know existed let alone knew it was a grand farwell to the original crew. The TNG movies are mostly failures, but First Contact is fun and features Alfre Woodard having to talk Picard down from his Ahab-like rage. Beyond is cute! They can keep making these, it’s weird they haven’t.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
Star Trek III: The Search for Spock
Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home
Star Trek V: The Final Frontier
Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country
Star Trek: Generations
Star Trek: First Contact
Star Trek: Insurrection
Star Trek: Nemesis
Star Trek Beyond

Now You See Me

I was too stoned both times. Don’t remember much. Forgot I watched them until I made this list. Was magic real or not? Unclear. Did the pandemic scuffle plans for a third? I don’t think I’d see it in theaters.

Now You See Me
Now You See Me 2

My Little Frog Faced Boy (Mathieu Amalric)

If there’s one thing I’ve learned in therapy the past couple years, it’s that I can’t be afraid of going first when discussing tough subjects. Thus, I’m using this space to mention my crush of Mathieu Amalric, who I first saw as the sneering villain in Quantum of Solace way back when. Weird looking guy, I’d do anything for him — even watch a three hour french film about grad students. And I loved it! Should still be on the Criterion Channel if you guys are interested. It’s pretty fun!

My Sex Life… Or, How I Got Into An Argument

Henson Workshop

Just a shout out to the Brattle Theatre’s fall program Tales from the Muppets Diaspora, where I was able to fill in these shocking holes in my filmography. Well, except MirrorMask. Didn’t love that but still.

Little Shop of Horrors
Follow That Bird
MirrorMask

Hawke Cast

Ethan love book!

Still going strong! Not only did we cover the three films below, but he also put out a new novel (A Bright Ray of Darkness), a new graphic novel (Meadowlark), performed in a Zoom production of Waiting for Godot, AND was a featured speaker at the American Library Association Midwinter Meeting & Exhibits! And next year he’s in Marvel’s Moon Knight. If he doesn’t die at the end of the season and ends up being in Blade or something I will never stop screaming.

Cut Throat City

Animated

The last two here killed my desire to finish off the Dreamworks filmography. For now. It might actually be illegal for me to watch Spirit: Riding Free alone in my apartment.

Anime

Goro should be killed for Earwig and Hayao should do it himself. Nothing major here except what I wrote on Evangelion earlier. The best anime besides those this year was actually a miniseries — The Heike Story, based on Japanese oral history.

Earwig and the Witch
One Piece: Stampede
Redline
Demon Slayer -Kimetsu No Yaiba- the Movie: Mugen Train
(So blatantly six regular episodes stitched together into a ‘film’ it’s almost ridiculous. And it made more money than Spirited Away? Japan is going to hell)
Ocean Waves
Only Yesterday
Children of the Sea
Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time
Belle

Finishing Filmographies

Going director by director continues to be the most effective and rewarding way to catch up on films. Even when they’re Welcome to Marwen. Next year I could stand to finish off Linklater, Baumbach, Denis to start? I could also read a book.

Pedro Almodóvar

Raimi, however… I’ll do anything for him. I’ll even see the Doctor Strange sequel even though it’ll just disappoint me. Because maybe it won’t! Sure, Oz was bad but it was also kind of just Army of Darkness? There’s always a little bit of hope.

Thought I had seen this on VHS as a child, but was most likely thinking of the animated Madeline movie where she gets kidnapped and sold into slavery.

Wow, that’s a lot of movies. I wonder if I’ll beat that number again, seems to be the trend. Despite all I accomplished, I did not watch Funny People. Maybe next time. Anything could happen. My Hassle writing as always can be found here. Letterboxd here. Have a lovely new year!
