the top 10 movies you missed in 2018
2018 has been an absolute roller coaster
of a year Hey what I just want to take
another look at you click the link below
to find our best and worst of 2018
videos for a look back at all the
awesome and crazy things that happened
considered them for this list we’re
taking a look at movies released in 2018
that didn’t leave a huge impression at
the box office but deserve a second life
number 10 upgrade what if I told you I
could offer you something that would
enable you to walk again like several
other movies under the umbrella of Blum
house productions upgrade takes in the
sermon of different genres and throws
them all into a blender in addition to
body horror Leigh Whannell film has
elements of sci-fi action revenge
fantasy and black comedy there’s even
echoes of a superhero movie as our
protagonist is given enhanced speed
strength and reflexes through an AI chip
in his spine of course since upgrade had
to compete with blockbuster superhero
movies like Deadpool 2 it was bound to
get lost in the summer shuffle
nevertheless its style ambition and
compelling performances should not only
help it to achieve cult status but
perhaps even pave the way for a sequel
you now have full control I’ve seen this
it’s a military tattoo I think number 9
Tulley considering the director jason
reitman and screenwriter Diablo Cody one
of our audiences everywhere with Juno
you’d think more people would have lined
up to seeing their latest collaboration
then again the two also brought us young
adult which scored big with critics
approved to cringe worthy for mainstream
audiences Tulley admittedly shares more
in common with a latter film and not
just because it stars Charlize Theron
anyone who appreciates uncomfortable
comedy however will definitely enjoy
telly for its twisted sense of humor not
to mention its darkly relatable
depiction of motherhood I’m here to take
care of you
I thought you’re taking care of the baby
Theron delivers yet another deeply
effective performance while Mackenzie
Davis continues to shine as one of our
most underrated up-and-comers as the
titular nanny and can fix the parts
without treating the whole number eight
Mandy having starred in one horrible
movie after another in recent years it’s
not surprising that so many audiences
have given up on Nicolas Cage but
between mom and dad and especially Mandy
though 2018 was a comeback year for the
actor and we can only help a KJ sauce is
on the horizon
Mandy Flynn’s cage at his absolute best
unrestrained and borderline comical but
still taking the role seriously enough
to provide genuine dramatic weight the
fact that cages character is named red
should also give audiences an idea of
what they’re in store for as director
panis cosmatos drapes this wickedly
entertaining acid trip in the color of
blood as well his blood
number seven blind spotting give me a
verbal confirmation that you’ve heard
and understood these parameters 2018
give us several great films about racial
tensions and blind spotting was among
the best as well as one of the most
overlooked
what makes cotton Luis Lopez Estrada’s
film stand out is it’s surprisingly
laid-back approach to the subject matter
while the movie’s themes of police
brutality and racial profiling are
always present they’re often in the rear
room mirror as the characters go through
their daily routines every once in a
while though our protagonists are given
no choice but to confront prejudice now
I need this because of you in addition
to being timely and thought-provoking
wine spotting is also a portrait of
friendship which makes sense since stars
and screenwriters Debbie digs and
Raphael Castle have been buds since
childhood when you got that gun on you
just don’t tell me about it
number six you were never really here
these are there I’ll get her although
there have been rumors in the past it’s
unlikely that we’ll ever see an official
remake of or sequel to taxi driver but
you were never really here captures the
same grit audacity and surreal nature of
Martin Scorsese’s 1976 masterpiece
Joaquin Phoenix dissolves into the role
of Joe a tormented veteran who’s been
forgotten by an uncaring society when he
gets caught up in a conspiracy involving
sex trafficking kidnapping and murder
though Joe emerges as an unsung Savior
taking home your dad much like Joe Lynn
Ramsay’s film flew under the radar but
anyone who had the pleasure of watching
it was treated to a gripping
psychological thriller with a powerful
social subtext
[Music]
number five black clansman the mayor the
cheap and I think you might be the man
to open things up around here compared
to some of Spike Lee’s other joints
black Klansmen actually performed quite
well at the box office still not nearly
enough people have discovered this
stimulating adaptation of Ron stalwarts
memoir what clansmen manages to be one
of the year’s funniest movies while also
being one of the most provocatively
concerning I want to be black here’s
your chance this true story of an
african-american detectives infiltration
of the Ku Klux Klan in the 70s it’s so
wild that it’s hard not to smile
throughout at the same time we’re
reminded that the film’s depiction of
racism doesn’t solely apply to the 1970s
if the movies disturbing ending
demonstrates anything it’s that the KKK
is dangerous mindset remains prevalent
in today’s world and why are you acting
like you ain’t got skin in the game
wrote number four first reformed this is
more complicated than we thought at
first Joaquin Phoenix’s Joe isn’t the
only character who warrants comparison
to Travis Bickle as Reverend Ernst polar
Ethan Hawke portrays another suicidal
man searching for a higher purpose in a
neglectful world the parallels between
first reformed and taxi driver aren’t
surprising as both films were scribed by
Paul Schrader also serving as this
film’s director Schrader touches upon
religion the environment and human
morality is the solution to despair
reason provides no answers what prevents
first reformed from coming off as
preachy is that it never provides easy
answers the film can be interpreted in
multiple ways especially when it comes
to Reverend Toller
who might either be a soldier sent from
God or a lost soul who’s given in to the
devil’s temptation lessens the reading
of the Lord praise begun number three
sorry to bother you let me give you two
usually white boys who would have
thought that a movie about telemarketing
would end up being one of the year’s
funniest and most inventive cinematic
experiences he may not be a household
name but you’ll definitely recognize la
Keith Stanfield from his consistently
excellent work in film and television
Stanfield gives what might be his best
performance yet as kashia’s cash Greene
who believes he can excel at work by
speaking with a white voice on the phone
Tim I want to chop it up more but I got
to get to my squash game let’s just say
that David crosses voice coming out of
fields mouth is far from the most
bizarre thing and sorry to bother you as
absurd as the story gets writer-director
boots Riley never loses sight of the
larger themes at hand as always we’ll be
getting that out to you right away
number two eighth grade three films on
this list were nominated for Best
Feature at the Independent Spirit Awards
and eighth grade may be the most likely
to go down as a contemporary classic
this is largely because writer director
Bo Burnham crafted a coming-of-age story
that works on multiple levels
this film is spot on in its portrayal of
how technology has shaped today’s youth
culture when you look at the bigger
picture however anyone who survived
middle school can identify with this
film’s themes of insecurity and
isolation whether you’re a member of
Generation X Y or Z by the way I like
your shirt a lot it’s like so cool
and I have a shirt to the r-rating might
have prevented the film from reaching a
wider audience but eighth grade deserves
an A for authenticity you know what go
great with this hmm some soy sauce yes
yes yes we gotta get it morning come on
come on before we unveil our topic here
are a few honorable mentions all of us
just set back and watch three separate
my daughter how can I tell you if I’m in
or I’m out without you telling you the
first thing about what I might be in
round number one bad times at the El
Royale agenda the Barea there is a call
book of all the films on this countdown
bad times at the El Royale was the most
shocking financial disappointment maybe
it was the 141 minute run time maybe it
was the stiff competition
or maybe it was the vague ad campaign
whatever the reason audiences missed out
on one of the year’s most stylish
atmospheric and unpredictable ensemble
pieces a little too quiet in there gives
me a willies despite failing to recoup
its 32 million dollar budget Drew
Goddard is no stranger to cult classics
his previous directorial outing The
Cabin in the Woods performed modestly at
the box office but has since become one
of the decades most discussed movies if
this film can achieve similar success
down the line then let the good times
roll do you agree with our picks check
