My Best of 2024: Lead Actress

My Best of 2024 is a series of annual lists in which I pick the best of the best from 2024, all leading up to my official picks for My Top 10 Films of 2024.

It's not often we get a year where it's infinitely easier for me to fill out a Top 10 list of Lead Actresses than it is to fill out the other acting categories with an even solid sampling of the year's work.\

Mikey Madison was easily the most instantly impressed I was by a performance, this year. I've known her a bit longer than most viewers thanks to the wonderful Better Things, but even I didn't realize how effortless she'd be in a role this emotionally complex and downright wild. Anora is her film above all else... and the film is a whole lot more than just her, so that's saying a shit-ton. Kirsten Dunst filled Civil War with a weariness that felt so inevitable and deeply rooted. In The Substance, Demi Moore made a thunderous comeback as a stand-in for all the talented, beautiful women Hollywood is so quick to forget once they reach a certain age. It's a brave and vulnerable performance that explores the outrageously unsubtle themes of the film with an appropriate blend of desperation and absurdity. Zendaya is the mastermind behind all of the events throughout Challengers, and the boredom and calculation she brings to it all is a wicked delight to witness. Lily-Rose Depp explodes onto the screen with a shockingly physical, career kick-starting performance in Nosferatu. Fernanda Torres is the epitome of resolve in this Awards Season's sleeper, I'm Still Here. Cynthia Erivo conveys every ounce of the chip on Elphie's shoulder in Wicked, and delivers jaw-dropping musical performance after jaw-dropping musical performance, as well. Nell Tiger Free wowed with the more nuanced of this year's two pregnant nun roles, and elevates The First Omen from highly effective horror prequel to a spiritually damning experience. Jodie Comer is wholly convincing as the voice of reason—and co-club historian—through whose eyes we're being told the tale of The Bikeriders. And Anna Kendrick delivered a performance that would've made the list regardless, but is all the more deserving of the spot seeing as Woman of the Hour was also her directorial debut.

So, yeah, here they are...

My Top 10 Performances by a Lead Actress in 2024!

1. Mikey Madison in Anora

2. Kirsten Dunst in Civil War

3. Demi Moore in The Substance

4. Zendaya in Challengers

5. Lily-Rose Depp in Nosferatu

6. Fernanda Torres in I'm Still Here

7. Cynthia Erivo in Wicked

8. Nell Tiger Free in The First Omen

9. Jodie Comer in The Bikeriders

10. Anna Kendrick in Woman of the Hour

Enjoy!

The Gathering by C.J. Tudor

"Seems to me that devils really do walk among us. . . only they're not vampyr."

C.J. Tudor's The Gathering isn't just 'meh', it's the absolute worst kind of 'meh'; a 'meh' that thinks it has something truly interesting to add to its genre. The painfully smug moral superiority in which these pages are soaked is so damn boring that it drains every single ounce of promise this admittedly exciting premise ever had.

Seriously, what could've—should've—been an atmospheric mix of Mare of Easttown (I immediately cast Kate Winslet at Det. Atkins) & Midnight Mass (the interactions between human and 'vampyr' should've been terrifying) quickly proved itself to be a tone-deaf sludge of True Detective: Season Four (whose only saving graces were Jodie Foster and those quickly abandoned The Thing vibes, early on) & the worst parts of early True Blood (I don't think subtlety is in Tudor's repertoire). I was really looking forward to this one, too. What a bummer.

Humans were like a plague. They infected everywhere.

3/10

5 Casos reales de los Warren que son más terroríficos que los de ‘El Conjuro’

Desde el instante en que comenzó la saga de películas El Conjuro nos han dejado muy en claro que las historias están basadas en hechos reales, con lo que toda vez que las miramos tenemos una sensación de escalofríos por el hecho de que tal vez alguno de esos terribles acontencimientos nos pueda suceder a nosotros o bien a alguien próximo. No obstante, los productores eligieron los casos más fáciles para reproducir en la pantalla grande, por el hecho de que si echas una ojeada a los expedientes de los Warren, vas a saber que existen historias horripilantes. Ahora te dejamos los 5 casos más horribles que los demonólogos estudiaron.

1. La maldición de los Smurl

El caso de la familia Smurl es uno de los más conocidos de los Warren, puesto que a lo largo de más de una década vivieron con un diablo en su casa, mas no fue fácil lidiar con él. El ente maligno era violento, continuamente aventaba al can contra la pared y lo más sorprendente es que abusaba sexual y físicamente de ciertos miembros de la familia. Los Smurl vivían en una vivienda en Wilkes-Barre, mas debido a los estragos que el huracán Agnes dejó a su paso, se vieron obligados a ir a vivir a un duplex que había sido construido en mil ochocientos ochenta y dos. Poquitos meses tras mudarse, apareció una mácula en la alfombra nueva, la TV reventó en llamas y las cañerías se dañaban continuamente con lo que pensaban que eran los “arañazos de un animal”. Los fenómenos siguieron a lo largo de años. A Janet Smurl, la matriarca de la familia, se le apareció una figura negra con forma humana en una habitación y después a Mary, la hija. Cansados de los sucesos, la familia contactó a los Warren en mil novecientos ochenta y seis. Si bien los demonólogos trataron de suprimir al diablo con cantos y rezos, los acontencimientos prosiguieron hasta el momento en que una noche Jack, el padre de familia, fue violado por un súcubo escamoso con semblante de anciana y cuerpo joven, y a Janet le ocurrió algo afín. Los Warren advirtieron que había 4 diablos, mas solo identificaron a dos: una anciana llamada Abigail y un hombre llamado Patrick, que había asesinado a su esposa y su amante. En mil novecientos ochenta y seis, la familia se mudó, mas los diablos los prosiguieron y en mil novecientos ochenta y ocho, la Diócesis aprobó un exorcismo que acabó con los fenómenos.

2. La casa de West Point

A lo largo de los años setenta, el matrimonio viajó a una academia militar en West Point, N. York para atender el caso de un soldado espectro. Diríase que el espíritu torturaba a los cadetes y ocasionaba diferentes estragos en el cuartel. El espíritu que pasó años atormentándolos era el soldado Lawrence Greer, quien pasó de ser militar a un asesino.

3. La posesión de Maurice Theriault

Maurice era un granjero que de un día a otro comenzó a probar cambios extraños en su personalidad, en ocasiones sangraba por los ojos y despertaba con cruces marcadas en su cuerpo. Mas su historia empieza desde el momento en que era pequeño. Maurice vivió una niñez muy dolorosa, puesto que su padre siempre y en toda circunstancia tuvo una actitud tiránica y violenta. Cuando medró y se encargó de la granja de su familia era un hombre muy afable, mas de un instante a otro se volvió desalmado. Él afirmaba que un espíritu maligno lo empujó a la violencia. En mil novecientos ochenta y cinco comenzó a presentar incomprensibles fenómenos, como que brotase sangre de sus ojos, heridas en el semblante y cruces marcadas en el cuerpo. Él y su esposa eran católicos, con lo que decidieron que era instante de llamar al sacerdote Boyer, quien al no comprender la situación, llamó a los Warren. Se le efectuaron 3 exorcismos. El último en presencia de doce testigos y, indudablemente, el peor para Maurice, puesto que daba la sensación de que su cuerpo ardía. Además de esto, en su semblante aparecieron ampollas y sus ojos comenzaron a virar. Perdió el conocimiento y tras unos minutos, cuando volvió en sí, los Warren declararon que el exorcismo había sido un éxito. En verdad, este es uno de los casos que se mienta concisamente en la película La Monja.

4. El hombre lobo de Southend

Otro de los casos en el que debieron trabajar los Warren fue el de Bill Ramsey, quien se ganó el apodo de “El hombre lobo de Southend”. Conforme lo que se cuenta, Bill tenía solo 9 años cuando comenzó a portarse como un lobo salvaje y rompió una de las rejas de su casa. Si bien con el paso del tiempo su “condición�� se alivió, un día Ramsey atacó y mordió a un extraño, una enfermera y un agente de policía. Frente a los hechos, fue llevado a una corporación siquiátrica, mas a los médicos les fue imposible determinar qué enfermedad tenía. Cuando los Warren lo conocieron, hicieron un exorcismo y, por último, Bill se sintió liberado y apacible.

5. El terror de Amityville

En el mes de noviembre de mil novecientos setenta y cuatro, un hombre llamado Ronald DeFeo Jr., de veintitres años, mató a sus progenitores, sus 2 hermanos y 2 hermanas en su casa de Amityville. Los asesinatos se dieron cerca de las 3: cero a.m., todos se hallaban dormidos y no mostraban ningún signo de violencia o bien de lucha. Ronald confesó haberles disparado a todos con una escopeta. Conforme narra, unas voces en su cabeza le afirmaron que debía matarlos. Un año después, la familia Lutz, un matrimonio con 3 hijos, se mudó a esa casa. Estaban felices con su nuevo hogar, mas tras unos días comenzaron a padecer una serie de acontencimientos paranormales. El diablo fue identificado como Jodie. Conforme los demonólogos, es un ser diabólico que se manifestó en forma de cerdo, por el hecho de que en el pasado en la casa se sacrificaban animales. En El Conjuro dos se mentó escuetamente el caso, mas si los productores quisiesen, podrían hacer una película de este y no acabarían de contar la historia. Read the full article

My Best of 2023: Supporting Actress

My Best of 2023 is a series of annual lists in which I pick the best of the best from 2023, all leading up to my official picks for My Top 10 Films of 2023.

Da'vine blew me away. I loved her on Only Murders in the Building and that Breakout performance in Dolemite Is My Name, but this was next level. Emily carried so much in Oppenheimer, and her late deposition scene lays it all on the table so effectively. Rachel is now in her mom era, and absolutely killing it. The only thing keeping this from being my favorite of her performances was time travel (Go Watch About Time). Flo always wows... so no surprise she stole every scene of Oppenheimer she was in. Jodie is a legend for a reason, and the friendship and determination with which she fills this character is the best part of Nyad. Anne is a seductive mystery in Eileen, and I wanted so much more of her. Mia is f*cking scary... always... but especially in Infinity Pool. The shifts in Juilanne Moore's character in May December brilliantly shift the film itself; it's campy, it's disturbing, it's utterly hypnotizing. ScarJo got that Wes Anderson delivery down perfect, and created something special in her odd chemistry with Schwartzman. And America got the 10 spot because she got the Oscar nod, honestly. That spot very easily could've gone to Tilda, Maura, Penolope, Kathy or Rosamund.

Here they are…

My Top 10 Performances by a Supporting Actress in 2023! 

1. Da'Vine Joy Randolph in The Holdovers

2. Emily Blunt in Oppenheimer

3. Rachel McAdams in Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret

4. Florence Pugh in Oppenheimer

5. Jodie Foster in Nyad

6. Anne Hathaway in Eileen

7. Mia Goth in Infinity Pool 

8. Julianne Moore in May December

9. Scarlett Johansson in Asteroid City

10. America Ferrera in Barbie

Enjoy!

My Week in Reviews: January 27, 2024

Played a little Oscar/Best of 2023 catch-up, this week. However, I'm still two films away from having seen everything nominated for Best Picture, so I might wait to finish off My Best of 2023... until I've gotten them in (which will hopefully happen this week). Anyway, here's this week's batch of first time viewings.

Nyad (Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi & Jimmy Chin, 2023)

Annette Bening, Jodie Foster and Rhys Ifans are fantastic, and I have a soft-spot for underdog movies like this, so I found myself immensely invested in the film. Understandably - given their roots in documentaries - some of Vasarhelyi & Chin's decisions are awkward, particularly in the blocking/shot choices in the smaller, character-on-character scenes, but they're not too distracting in the long run. I'm especially happy with the Foster nomination, as she's really the scene-stealer, throughout. And while the Annette nomination is earned - as she's surely better than Robbie was - don't expect her to beat out our Stereotypical Barbie come time for My Best of 2023... Lead Actress list. - 7/10

Rustin (George C. Wolfe, 2023)

Colman Domingo owns every single scenery-chewing second he's on the screen. This is such a lived-in, emotionally fragile performance that's ultimately far too good for the film as a whole. That being said, the film itself isn't necessarily bad. Wolfe makes consistently makes interesting choices, and the rest of the cast give devoted performances that only pale in comparison to Domingo's powerhouse. But ultimately, there's nothing here aside from that lead performance that manages to move in the manner it's clearly trying for. The moments that are supposed to hit just never hit hard enough. - 6/10

Dumb Money (Craig Gillespie, 2023)

That whole opening chunk that's so painfully trying to be The Social Network is painful. I get it, it's an 'homage' because they're based on books by the same author", I just don't care because it's executed in a manner that screams ripoff rather than homage. It feels like lazy, boring filmmaking. Paul Dano is great, and every minute he's on screen, I was hooked. Some of the supporting cast holds their own well enough, too, but too many of them don't get any chance to shine outside of the forced moments on the page. This was still a concisely written, interesting look into the whole GameStop stock market movement that was all over the news a couple years ago, though. My main problem with that, is that this would've probably been better if they'd waited even just another year (or two) to make/release it. - 6.5/10

The Parallax View (Alan J. Pakula, 1974)

Pakula fills this film with seemingly simple shots that - paired with his patience as a storyteller - drown each moment with fraught tension. Beatty is really good as the rogue, obsessed reporter, here, too. But ultimately the patented lack of resolution makes the finale land with a mere thud rather than a satisfying bang. Still, though, Pakula's work makes this one more than worth watching. - 7/10

A Fish Called Wanda (Charles Crichton & John Cleese, 1988)

Ridiculous. John Cleese makes this wonderfully wacky 180 throughout the film that makes for a lot of fun. Jamie Lee Curtis is as conniving as she is sexy. Kevin Kline is just great (though hardly/barely Oscar-worthy) as the unpredictably fumbling foil. But it's Michael Palin that stole the film for me, as his stuttering 'fool' and the old-lady assassination sub-plot were the moments that made me laugh the hardest; they were such absurdly silly stuff. - 7.5/10

Enjoy!

-Timothy Patrick Boyer.

“The experiment begins with the observation that something is wrong ­–with the culture, the country, the neighbors, or maybe just with her. The subject roams the parameters of her habitat, pushing against the surfaces, testing the laws of the system. The conditions have been stacked against her. She wonders how she got here. The neglected ambitions and crossed wires. The isolation at the heart of the illusion of belonging. She needs to re-calibrate. The potency she seeks cannot be gleaned from the consultation of manuals, maps or technology. She is confident it’s here, somewhere, in the emulsion of her mad habitat”

Boyer + Factor, a collaborative project by Margaret Reid Boyer and Jodie Factor.
