Today we have Cursed, a 2005 werewolf movie and our first request! Sad to report though, it’s barely a werewolf film. It’s more of a teen comedy with occasional werewolf action, as edited by someone who’s heard of werewolves but thinks all the mythology surrounding them is stupid and wants to make up their own.

Movies I Enjoyed the Most in 2019: 13-1 (Spoilers abound)
The top half of the list. Rules reposted below.
As the title says, this is the list of the movies I saw in 2019 (that came out in 2019) that I enjoyed the most. This is no indication of quality – that equally subjective list happens next.
As the title says, this is the list of the movies I saw in 2019 (that came out in 2019) that I enjoyed the most. This is no indication of quality – that equally subjective list happens next.
Don’t take the numbering in this list as a straight top-bottom list of enjoyment. Instead, I’d probably group them into tiers as such:
1-5: My absolute favourites. I had so much fun with these, and realistically there’s not the much of a gap between the movies in this tier.
6-13: Also very enjoyable, but not as outright enjoyable to me as the top tier were. Still not much of a gap within this tier, and I’m glad I saw every one of these.
14-19: Also enjoyed the movies in this tier, but quality concerns started to creep in the moment the credits rolled that slightly soured the experience in ways that, say, the top tier managed to avoid. Essentially, they weren’t so much fun I let the quality concerns bugger off to the “Best Of” list, with one exception.
20-23: These had their moments, but ultimately weren’t enough to overwhelm just how bad or underwhelming the whole package was.
24-28: I left the cinema or the couch (Avengement and Cold Pursuit were direct to DVD) either disappointed, wishing I hadn’t seen them, or actively wishing the writers can never find work again.
Expect this list to be wildly different when I move to the quality side…
