Winter-Spring 2020-2021 Movie Preview Part 1


I'll keep "the tradition" on that when the winter begins to throw out a preview entry, despite the fact there's not much to choose from for this. Besides, I don't have another subject to write about :-) Besides, this time we can be a bit more optimistic about the release in the next time period... especially considering that some distributors got tired of reprograming the dates and started accepting also the online option.

The majority of the movies set for December are low budget indies. Out of the titles I found about, the most interesting option seemed to be "Archenemy", despite some ratings after a festival pre-release that aren't so encouraging. The subject though is part of an alternative niche to the classic superhero, a niche where I had multiple fine experiences ("Defendor", "Jeeg Robot", "Colossal" or even "Kick-Ass"). However, I don't have much hope for this one, but we'll see...


"Chaos Walking", set for January, seems to be somewhere between SciFi and western, a combination that unlike the previous, with slight exceptions ("Prospect"), never was very fortunate. The director though, Doug Liman, has some good movies, among which one of the best SciFi movies in the last decade - "Edge of Tomorrow". But again, we'll see...

It might look like bad taste to release a movie about a pandemic in the middle of a pandemic, even though the disease is quite a different one, but out of all what February promises "Little Fish" is by far the most interesting title.

Next time we'll try to find something for the spring too. Let's hope we find some..
