2025 Genre-ary: Documentaries

Posted on by

2025 kicks off with our third annual Genre-ary. We started with Sci-Fi movies. Then we did Musicals. This year, we will be doing Documentaries.

Again, this will be documentaries that are movies or shorts. There will be no doc series such as the Jinx. Of course, it is a DailyView which means I will be watching a movie every day in the month of January that I have never seen before.

I have compiled a list of documentaries from over the years that I have not seen before. Some will be well known ones, some will be ones we have never heard of before. I will be including some 2024 films instead of waiting for the June Swoon.

I will keep the tally of the Genre-ary on this page.

Superman Teaser Trailer

Posted on by

I may not be a huge Superman fan, but this trailer is epic.

I don’t hate Superman. I have never hated the character, but he has just never been my guy. I’m a Spider-Man fan. But this trailer is truly a fantastic couple of minutes.

I feel that this trailer has shown that the creators have learned from some of the other Superman live action mistakes that have been made.

I believe in James Gunn and I think this builds an even more positive mindset. This is a great trailer.

And the MUSIC! Goosebump inducing. Amazing.

2024 Year in Review: Movie Musicals

Posted on by

Okay… this is going to be an easy one I think.

We added this category recently, but backtracked to award some previous films the award.

Movie Musicals

Inside Llewyn Davis (2013), Whiplash (2014), Pitch Perfect 2 (2015), La La Land (2016), The Greatest Showman (2017), Mary Poppins Returns (2018), Rocketman (2019), Hamilton (2020), Tick, Tick… Boom! (2021), Matilda the Musical (2022), The Color Purple (2023)

We had some musicals in 2024. There was Piece by Piece, which was a musical documentary, in Lego format doing the life of Pharrell Williams. Moana 2 is a huge box office success, but, truthfully, the music just did not hit as well as the original. That’s what happens when you do not have Lin-Manuel Miranda doing your music. Speaking of Miranda, he is doing the music for the upcoming Mufasa film from Disney, and while that is probably going to be great, I do not think it will match this year’s winner. Joker: Folie à Deux was a disappointment in a lot of ways, and musically was one of them. They really did not take advantage of Lady Gaga. Mean Girls was very forgettable from way back in January. Emilia Perez was a powerful movie, but I can honestly say that much of the music in this film, I do not remember. I do not consider Bob Marley: One Love to be a musical, though I could mention it as an effective use of music.

2024 Movie Movie Musical of the Year:

Wicked

Yeah, this one was easy. This is a massive hit and a tremendous film. The rendition of “Defying Gravity” in this film is goosebump creating. Both Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo were stunning with their voices and made this iconic Broadway play a must see movie…even as a Part 1. Could this be foreshadowing next year’s winner too?

What If…? Season Three Trailer

Okay, this looks epic.

Storm! With Mjolnir! Yes please. And that did sound like the voice of Storm from X-Men ’97. Cool, if that is.

When we saw the three Watchers, I literally let out a squeal.

I am still not sure how the 8 episodes will drop. All at once? Starting on Dec. 22? One a week? Either way, I’ll be there.
