From the ninth and final installment to the most influential saga in cinematic history to a 3-and-a-half-hour gangster epic from Martin Scorsese... here are my most anticipated films of the final two months of 2019.
Review Round-Up: September & October 2019
It has been too long since I have been able to commit to writing full reviews for each of the films I have seen over the past eight weeks or so, so I thought I would give my summarised thoughts for all of them here in this one post. Awards season is going to be packed so I want to be all caught up.

Now that we have seen the reactions from the major films at Venice and Toronto, these are my current predictions for the above-the-line categories at the Oscars 2020. Subject to change.

Film Review | Toy Story 4
Toy Story 4 is directed by Josh Cooley and stars Tom Hanks and Tim Allen.
Animation/Comedy/Drama/Adventure. Released 2019.
I think we can all agree that there were many people questioning the actual existence of this film, thanks to the most perfect trilogy finale that was 2010's Toy Story 3, one of the greatest animated films to ever be made, if not the greatest. So, is Toy Story 4 completely necessary?
Ranking Every PIXAR Film To Date
In light of the release of Toy Story 4, I thought I would run down the best and worst films from the greatest modern animation studio.
May I just add, there is a serious argument to be made that the entire top 5 deserve that #1 spot.

Endgame 2nd Weekend Box Office
Did Endgame's astronomical opening just result in a detrimental 2nd weekend?

Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase 4 Predictions

Film Review | Avengers: Endgame

Superhero/Fantasy/Sci-Fi. Released 2019.
Superhero/Fantasy/Sci-Fi. Released 2019.
It is, arguably, the most anticipated film of all time. The epic finale to the most successful franchise ever made, Marvel's 'Infinity Saga', the first chapter in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It's this generations Return Of The King, The Deathly Hallows or Return Of The Jedi, except this concludes a decade-long journey of 22 films. This is the event that film-lovers have been waiting for since 2008.
Ranking Marvel's Infinity Saga Before ENDGAME
With Endgame just around the corner, I thought I would round up my thoughts on the rest of Marvel's Infinity Saga by ranking all of the films with a percentage score. This will likely be said plenty of times on this blog in the next few days but wow, what a great run this has been; this is an unprecedented achievement which I don't know will ever be re-created to this level. This saga, even without the defining chapter, has revolutionised blockbuster filmmaking - and I'm sure Endgame will only act as further evidence of this fact.
Summer 2019 Box Office Predictions
This is going to be one huge Summer, and most of it is thanks to Disney. However, there are plenty of other films to get excited for as well, and I am going to cover my predictions for these films' box office performance. And, just like every year, we kick start the Summer movie season with what is usually Marvel's biggest film of the year, if not of their entire cinematic universe.
Film Review | Shazam!
Shazam! is directed by David F. Sandberg and stars Zachary Levi and Jack Dylan-Grazer.
Superhero/Comedy/Action. Released 2019.
Trailer Review | The Lion King 2019
I still can't quite believe the magnitude of Disney's 2019 slate.
Trailer Review | Joker 2019
I think the DC department at Warner Bros. are on a huge winning streak.
Joker seems to be telling an interpreted origin story of the iconic Batman villain. And what we have got so far seems to be pretty spectacular.
Tom Hanks Cast In Baz Luhrmann's Elvis Biopic
Baz Luhrmann is, in my opinion, one of the most exciting directors in the industry, and he has not released a feature film since 2013's The Great Gatsby (one of my favourite films, as seen in my 'All Time Favourites' list in the sidebar). This recently occurred to me and I have been eagerly awaiting for an announcement like this to be made. I have really admired Luhrmann's stylistic choices, to take classic stories or properties - which in their original form are incredibly timeless - and adapt them into a somewhat modern take, but still embodying the tone. It's a peculiar blend, but a distinctive one, establishing Baz Luhrmann as a true auteur filmmaker.
