TOP 5 FAVOURITE MOVIES (2018)

So these are my 5 favourite movies from 2018. Before I get there, I’d like to say I only watched 48 new movies (a small number when you consider how many are released every year). I’ve yet to see ‘A Star Is Born’ but I don’t think that would change my top 5. Also, Ethan Hawke was robbed of an Oscar nomination for his brilliant acting in ‘First Reformed’ as was Viola Davis (for ‘Widows’, my favourite performance of the year). I would also like to say that ‘Venom’ is not as bad as people say and that ‘Infinity War’ was kinda boring. Oh and Emily Blunt remains the most underrated and underused actress in Hollywood (though I think that’s about to change). 

Faves:

1. Roma -I’m still in that movie theater, completely blown away by @alfonsocuaron’s best movie to date;

2. Cold War;

3. Blackkklansman (horror-movie of the year?);

5. Don’t Worry, He Won’t Get Far On Foot.
