Honorable Mentions
Favorite sequel/series:
Deadpool 2: Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool fucking kills me. Consistently hilarious and packed with over-the-top action: it’s safe to say that the sequel is just as enjoyable as the first.
Others That I Really Enjoyed:
Searching: Yo, I can't even lie - this shit made me cry. Great performance from John Cho in a really interesting/unique style of film. The whole movie essentially takes place on a laptop, but it's super enthralling nonetheless.
BlacKkKlansman: Had to throw at least one Oscar nom in here. Solid performances from John David Washington and Adam Driver. Slow at times, but tells a pretty outrageous true story. Definitely very close to making my top 10.
Upgrade: All-around exhilarating action flick. Can’t help but think this dude is Tom Hardy every time I think of this movie, though.
The Predator: I’ve honestly hated every Predator reboot since the original. I had a blast watching this movie, though. Kind of works better if you view it as an action-comedy. Not necessarily good, but very enjoyable if you need a mindless action movie.
Overall, 2018 wasn't the strongest year for film, but I still found a lot to enjoy. Now fire up some buds and check this shit out!
Oh Also, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs is on Netflix. Sorry to Bother You (which I highly recommend) is on Hulu. I think Hereditary is on Amazon Prime. Can probably rent the rest on iTunes or Apple TV.
