Happy Holidays to all of our readers! In 2024, World of Reel is lifting the Rotten Tomatoes boycott and will resume adding published reviews on the aggregate site.
I had taken a break from being part of the Tomatometer, but I’m going to start using my RT profile as a tool for readers to be up to date with every review I post. As we’re still working on our own review archive, which will take up much of next year, there is the need to assemble everything that I’ve written.
Of all the December releases, I highly recommend “Poor Things,” “Ferrari,” “Memory,” “The Iron Claw,” “The Zone of Interest,” “American Fiction,” and “The Boy and the Heron.”
I also liked minor works like “The Taste of Things,” “Eileen,” but I wasn’t a fan of “Maestro,” “The Color Purple,” “The Boys in the Boat.” I’ll also have something up soon about Andrew Haigh’s “All of Us Strangers,” which I seem to be in the minority on.
While James L. Brooks teased last year that "we'll soon be seeing" Jack Nicholson, 89, act again, and that he was "reading scripts," that idea has now been shut down by his close friend Michael Douglas, 82.
