“Birds of Prey” and the Fantabulous Emancipation from the DCEU
Birds of Prey has some of the best stunt work and choreography of 2020, and was the most fun I’d had in an action film since John Wick 3.

Set in the late 1950s, 'Penny' captures the energy and style of the iconic drive-in era in Australia. This short film follows Timmy (Jason Agius), a young cleaner at the drive-in, in his quest to impress local dancer Penny (Steph Dunbar) and win her heart. Aided by his friend Donna (Jodi Eames), a waitress at the Drive-In diner, he sets out to learn how to rock 'n' roll with the best of them.

'The Menu' has a strong story. The 5 acts, which are defined by the courses, are an excellent subversion of the classic 5-act film structure.
'Unsolved Mysteries' is a reminder that not everyone has closure in their lives. Things will happen that have no known explanation, and seemingly come out of nowhere.
A surprise sequel takes place ten years after the original movie based on the title of the same name, but with a twist to the fairy tale.
This is ambitious horror filmmaking, and in a lot of ways, I fully admire its ambitions. For me, the film’s sloppiness defines its overall quality.
Rather than following in the footsteps of poorly made horror flicks, “The Quiet Place” follows original concept.
