HLS Movie Awards Top 160 Movies of 2022 Part 3! 50-16


    Welcome back to the HLS Movie Awards! This piece is part three of the series breaking down the top 160 movies of 2022. Specifically, this blog will cover numbers 50 through 16, spoiler alert the top 15 is my best picture nominees. As a reminder, I only considered films that were released to the public IN 2022 not at a film festival. 

    Real quick, like always with every movie I am going to be putting what I personally think is the safest grading scale there is, the IMDB user rating score. Here is a simple breakdown of what their 0.0-10 grading scale means:

0.1-5.0  = Horrible waste of time
5.1-6.4  = Risky might be good might be garbage (lot of horror falls here)
6.5-7.4  = Good solid movie
7.5+      = Movie that is widely adored / enjoyed

Now this is not a gold standard but is a good starting point, on to the movies. On to the movies!

HLS Movie Awards Nominees: Best Screenplay and Dialogue

          Welcome back to HLS Entertainment! Today we are going over the nominees for the Best Screenplay for the HLS Movie Awards!      Here is how I am grading them. I am not some high school English teacher  going through these scripts with a red pen marking them up, I am going through each movie and grading them off the writing and dialogue within the movie. This is especially dealing with logic and coherency. This does not mean a movie that is deep is thrown out for having confusing concepts, it means I graded them on how well they executed them and if they ultimately made sense. For example, I love Tenet but it is specifically did not make this list because it does spin too far of a web where the confusion is no longer easy to explain. Or Vivarium is wild and wacky plays with deep concepts of reality but ultimately is not coherently done within the movie. Movies that fall under this category are generally a safe bet to find their way to the very tops of my movie rankings because

WandaVision : Disney's First MCU TV Show - What to Expect and Theories

Image
      Disney+ launched November 12th 2019, and has exploded across the world and now has over 60 million subscribers world wide. With the launch of Disney+ the streaming platform put out "The Mandalorian" as the flagship tv show for the service. "The Mandalorian" was a gigantic hit success but has really been the only smash hit show from the streaming service, but that might soon change. One thing in common with The Mandalorian is that WandaVision will supposedly have a Disney Gallery behind the scenes show about it as well. "WandaVision" still has a secret/vague release date on "winter 2020"and is going to be the MCU's first Kevin Feige produced tv show that is directly tied into the MCU. Fans like myself that adored the Marvel Netflix shows and ABC's Agents of Shield / Agent Carter have been bummed for years at their very loose adjacency to the mainline MCU cannon. Somethings on the show referenced the movies or even had side characters
