Although I had very little prior experience with the franchise at the time, Alien: Romulus ended up finding itself towards the top of my list for 2024 films. I loved the sci-fi angle, the cast was phenomenal, and it felt fresh even while being a very big emulation of the first film.

There's a few awards shows remaining on the road to the Oscars in March, but the Globes are the last big precursor before we get to the biggest show of them all. Although it's not a perfect indicator, the Globes always gives us a good temperature check of where we are with the races for Academy Awards. I thought it was a perfect time to not only share some of

Two weeks ago, I wrote an article predicting what trailers would play in front of Avatar: Fire and Ash in mid-December. The first movie on that list was Avengers: Doomsday, due to it being the most popular release of next year but also the high likelihood we'd get our first look with James Cameron's epic.
