MAC Movie Reviews: 2023 Year in Review
A few years ago, I started keeping track of every new movie I watched in a year. I love movies, I love all kinds of movies, and I like to know what I've seen. I watched between 77-80 new movies in 2023 (I may have forgotten to write some down and/or miscounted). I also happen to have a lot of thoughts about the movies I watch.
At the beginning of 2023, I read the book They Shouldn't Have Killed His Dog: The Complete Uncensored Ass-Kicking Oral History of John Wick, Gun Fu, and the New Age of Action by Mark A. Altman and Edward Gross because I love the John Wick movies. I also made a list of every movie they mentioned when discussing the history of the action genre and spreadsheet-ified it. It's been a bit of a goal to watch every movie on that list. Currently I've seen 14/82, most of them this past year. So I'm still working on it :D
The ones I did see this year included Yojimbo, The Wild Bunch, and Bullit but my favorites were:
Atomic Blonde
The Villainess
Predator
Rambo: First Blood
Speed
I really like action movies with female leads who fuck shit up just as much as their male counterparts, and besides Atomic Blonde and The Villainess, I watched a good chunk in 2023:
Ava
The Terminator/Terminator: Dark Fate
The 355
Peppermint
The Courier
I kind of ended up hosting little genre marathons or film festivals for myself throughout the year. One of my favorites that I came up with was my sci-fi one:
HAPPENED/HAPPENING - An optimist's hopepunk science fiction film festival, "An expression of faith in the mechanics of the world" (Tenet)
Tenet
Arrival
Pacific Rim
Edge of Tomorrow
Everything Everywhere All at Once
Also included in this festival would be the Blade Runner films, Mad Max: Fury Road, and possibly Looper and The Old Guard.
I also had a martial arts movie marathon, including:
Shaolin
Ip Man
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
House of Flying Daggers
Hero
It's always my goal to go to the movie theater as often as possible. Some of my favorite movies that came out in 2023 were:
John Wick 4
Fast X
Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves
Mission: Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part 1
Barbie
I also saw Cocaine Bear and A Haunting in Venice, both of which I enjoyed, but I don't need to see Cocaine Bear again :D
I watched some great animated movies as well, especially from the DC animated universe, including:
Batman: Under the Red Hood
Batman: The Long Halloween
Ninja Batman
Akira
Princess Mononoke
I've recently discovered that I enjoy certain subgenres of horror movies more than I ever thought I would. In 2023 I liked:
The Turning
Annabelle Comes Home
The Nun
Insidious: The Red Door
There were some movies that I saw this year that I thought I would love and ended up being disappointed by, and there were some that I had absolutely zero expectations of that blew me out of the water. The disappointments included ATSV, Snake Eyes: GI Joe Origins, and Dune.
My sleeper hits of this year were:
Pitch Black (Riddick #1)
Rambo: First Blood
Rocky
Dracula Untold
Real Steel
Some runner-ups would be Marry My Dead Body, The American President, Mortal Kombat, The Knight of the Shadows, and Assassin's Creed.
Overall, I think my favorite movies I saw in 2023 were, in no particular order except for how I broke down this post:
Atomic Blonde
Pacific Rim
Ip Man
John Wick 4
Batman: The Long Halloween
Insidious: The Red Door
Real Steel
I could go on and on about almost all of these movies, so if your interest is piqued about any of them, shoot me an ask or a message! I'm also always looking for movie suggestions and recommendations, so shoot me those as well!
