[crowdvscritic]

round up // JULY 23

Spies! Josh Hartnett! Perfect 10s! They all made multiple appearances in July. This summer has churned out one of the best crop of blockbusters in years, and even though this Round Up is a bit shorter than usual, it’s a stacked lineup. Whether you’re looking for big thrills, big emotion, or big art, July had it all. 

July Crowd-Pleasers

1. Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One (2023)

A redux of the 1996 original Mission: Impossible in all the best ways. Whatever you think of Tom Cruise, you can’t deny his commitment to the audience experience. Crowd: 10/10 // Critic: 9/10

2. Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre (2023)

This is the kind of movie that you can tell within in three minutes isn’t totally working but it’s hard to tell why. It looks pretty good! There’s loads of style! Jason Statham is one of the best action leads in the biz! Every actor is doing something fun! (Especially Josh Hartnett, validating my major crush in his Pearl Harbor days.) But not a single character has an arc, and we should’ve opened on an action sequence introducing our heroes and villains so we don’t need so much dialogue to explain our characters or the inciting incident. But you know what? Call the butcher because I love a good ham! I had a great time with this cast doing the Guy Ritchie thing, which means I am gonna watch this so hard again on cable.

3. Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) by Taylor Swift (2023)

My attempt to swing last-minute tickets to the Eras Tour in Denver for less than $1000 was a no-go, but the treats that are “When Emma Falls in Love,” “Timeless,” and a Taylor Lautner music video cameo softened that blow. The article “The Unprecedented Weirdness of Taylor Swift” in The Washington Post captures some of the unique joys of her re-recordings.

4. Barbie (2023)

Is Barbie an instant classic? Perhaps it’s too of-this-moment for that kind of longevity, but it’s a comedy that made me laugh so hard I cried and also just that made me cry, which I don’t remember ever happening to me within a single movie before. Read my full review for ZekeFilm, and then be sure to listen to the soundtrack after seeing the movie. Dua Lipa, Charli XCX, Tame Impala, Haim, Billie Eilish, and Ryan Gosling(!!) made some bangers! Crowd: 10/10 // Critic: 9/10

5. Do You Like Apples Podcast

I’ve recommended the Do You Like Apples newsletter, and now I’m recommending Billy Rock and Drew Wendt’s new accompanying podcast. I may be biased since they invited me to join their Barbie discussion, but because I like filling my earbuds with thoughts on Wes Anderson’s oeuvre and the best of Harrison Ford’s career, I’m a regular listener beyond our collab. Listen to our discussion of Barbie and then browse through their rapidly growing feed about the world of movies.

More July Crowd-Pleasers: Airport (1970), Book Club: The Next Chapter (2023), Zoey 102 (2023)

July Critic Picks

1. The China Syndrome (1979)

Another ‘70s conspiracy thriller FTW! Jane Fonda, Michael Douglas, and Jack Lemmon are getting suspicious at a nuclear power plant, and their investigation lands on my lists of favorite journalism films and movies that have made me cry. Crowd: 8.5/10 // Critic: 9/10

2. BlackBerry (2023)

Product-inspired films are still rocking and rolling in 2023, and BlackBerry is one of the best. It owes a lot to The Social Network, but it learned all the right lessons. I would love to see this cast in conversation for Oscars this winter, but until then, the rage-at-the-corporate-machine soundtrack is keeping me going. Crowd: 8/9 // Critic: 9/10

3. Oppenheimer (2023)

On average, me every 7 minutes in this movie: "Oh hey, I love that guy!” This cameo-packed historical epic/biopic is a clearer-eyed version of A Beautiful Mind, and perhaps most impressively doesn’t feel three hours long. The review in The Federalist and Vox’s analysis of the history of nuclear cinema are excellent companion pieces. Crowd: 8/10 // Critic: 9.5/10

4. Suddenly by BØRNS (2023)

Like the rest of us, it sounds like BØRNS has been going through some stuff in the last few years. After a five year hiatus, he’s back with his lachrymose synth-pop in a six-track EP. My only complaint? I’m ready for a full album!

5. The French Dispatch by Wes Anderson (2021)

Haven’t I already recommended The French Dispatch as the best film of 2021? Yes, but because I’m a woman of limited interests, I’m now recommending the published screenplay. If you’ve ever wondered just how Anderson and his collaborators create their idiosyncratic stories, reading the complex script gives a new insight into their overlapping minutiae, much of which I missed just by watching.

More July Critic Picks: The Merry Widow (1934), Christmas in July (1940), Some Came Running (1958)

Also in July…

At the start of July, nine writers for ZekeFilm picked our top five movies of the year so far. You can read our individual lists as well as our aggregate top five in our “Best of 2023 (So Far)” piece. 

I checked out Haunted Mansion, which was…at least better than the Eddie Murphy version? Read my review for ZekeFilm, which turned into a long list of theme park-inspired films for Disney, and watch more on KMOV to see me correctly predict that Barbie would dominate the box office yet again.

Thanks to a holiday break, I had a little time to finally add a few Best Picture Project pieces. Keep scrolling on the home page to read reviews of The Apartment (1960), One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (1975), Rain Man (1988), Dances With Wolves (1990), Million Dollar Baby (2004), and 12 Years a Slave (2013)

Until August wraps, you can follow what I’m watching on Letterboxd and the site formerly known as Twitter

The Enduring Romances of Bachelor Nation: Couples Still Going Strong

The Bachelor franchise, having its inception in 2002, is renowned for making love connections that sometimes span years. While there have been numerous breakups, the story isn't entirely gloomy. Several couples have flourished, proving that love can indeed be found on reality television. In this article, we delve into the ongoing romances in Bachelor Nation, demonstrating the franchise's successful matchmaking prowess.

The Original Success: Trista Rehn and Ryan Sutter

This romance is the benchmark for all Bachelor Nation couples. Trista Rehn and Ryan Sutter, who found love during The Bachelorette's first season in 2003, are the longest-married couple in Bachelor history, having recently celebrated 19 years of marriage in December 2022. Their enduring love story remains an inspiring testament to the franchise's potential to forge lasting relationships.

Love After Paradise: Strong Couples from Bachelor in Paradise

Bachelor in Paradise is renowned for forming successful relationships, with numerous couples still going strong. Among them, Michael Allio and Danielle Maltby are currently dating after meeting on the show's eighth season. Season seven proved exceptionally fruitful, producing three engaged couples: Zach Shallcross and Kaity Biggar, Kenny Braasch and Mari Pepin, and Thomas Jacobs and Becca Kufrin. Despite a temporary breakup while filming in 2021, Noah Erb and Abigail Heringer reconciled and are now cautiously navigating their relationship.

Overcoming Hurdles: Matt James and Rachael Kirkconnell

The Bachelor season 25's Matt James and Rachael Kirkconnell provide an example of overcoming hurdles for love. Despite breaking up while the show was airing in early 2021, they managed to mend their relationship and are now happily dating.

Successful Engagements: Dylan Barbour and Hannah Godwin, and Dean Unglert and Caelynn Miller-Keyes

The sixth season of Bachelor in Paradise produced two solid engagements that continue to flourish. Dylan Barbour and Hannah Godwin, along with Dean Unglert and Caelynn Miller-Keyes, are testament to the success of this show's format.

Bachelor Nation's Family Men and Women

Numerous Bachelor Nation couples have moved beyond just marriage and started families. Some of these couples include Arie Luyendyk Jr. and Lauren Burnham, Kevin Wendt and Astrid Loch, Raven Gates and Adam Gottschalk, Jade Roper and Tanner Tolbert, and Sean Lowe and Catherine Giudici, all of whom are now proud parents.

Time-Tested Love: The Longest Married Couples

Lastly, the franchise has seen a number of couples sustain their love for many years. Some of these long-married couples include Rachel Lindsay and Bryan Abasolo, Jordan Rodgers and JoJo Fletcher, Jared Haibon and Ashley Iaconetti, Chris Siegfried and Desiree Hartsock, Jason Mesnick and Molly Malaney, Holly Durst and Blake Julian, and of course, Trista Rehn and Ryan Sutter. From initial courtship to engagements and marriages that have endured years, these Bachelor Nation love stories underscore the franchise's potential to make lasting connections. While there may be bumps along the way, these couples prove that finding enduring love on reality television is indeed possible.   Read the full article
