Sing Sing (2024)

In the thirty years since its release, it has been nearly unanimous across the globe that there is no other film about prison that can be any better than The Shawshank Redemption (it has sat at the top of the Top 250 IMDB list since I was in High School.)

I am not arguing against that (it is one of the very few movies you can find any dislikers for). I bring it up only because it gives a warm feeling of sorts that you would not get in many movies (let alone one about prison). That feeling does not come around often, and no other film about prison has passed that on to me since. Enter Sing Sing.

Top 10 Films of 2023

There are a lot of positives and negatives to look back on in 2023 when it comes to cinema, both industry wise and personally.

Of course, Hollywood had a big dent in the year with two strikes (which I did support, for what it is worth), While they have thankfully ended, we will probably feel the fall out of them in this upcoming year (and possibly into 2025). Looking back at the amount of films I have seen (just shy of 80, which is more than I have done in previous years), I saw nearly 90 percent of them (whether in theater or streaming) by myself. It would really be nice to have my friends and family have a better schedule for me, but such is life.
