Hello, everyone. With both the 2010s having just concluded, and a new decade having just begun, there’s some adjustments to the schedule that I would like to make. For those eager to see what’s on the schedule for 2020 going forward, I will get to it, but first, there’s something that needs to be addressed.

Since I started, and especially over the course of last year, I’ve realized that I’ve made a habit of overloading the schedule with reviews I hoped to do. As a result, this led to a lot of them not coming as planned. That does not mean that they won’t ever be made (of course they will), just much later than initially intended. From now on, I have decided to only announce what is either most likely or definitely expected, and any others I plan to do will be done in between and on my own time, including some long-overdue ones to make up for that.

Now, on to the schedule itself.

As such, here’s what I plan to review for the first year of the new decade:

Every DC Extended Universe movie up to this point (Man of Steel, Batman v Superman, Suicide Squad, Wonder Woman, Justice League, Aquaman, and Shazam!). This was originally intended to be leading up to Birds of Prey*, but considering what I might start with, I may end up having to include that in the lead-up to Wonder Woman 1984 instead, since that comes out later in the year.

One of the long-overdue reviews: A Quiet Place, since the sequel is coming out this year.

The Bond franchise, with No Time to Die (the 25th Bond movie) coming out this year as well. In regards to these scheduled reviews, I’ll most likely start with that, since it’s one of the longest-running film franchises ever.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe Catch-Up Reviews I promised last year, which, to recap, are the following movies: Avengers: Infinity War, Ant-Man and the Wasp, Captain Marvel, Avengers: Endgame, and Spider-Man: Far From Home. These are not only the concluding chapters of what we now know as The Infinity Saga, but also the stepping stones for a new beginning, as Phase Four kicks off this year with the release of both Black Widow and The Eternals.

The Fast and the Furious franchise reviews will most likely also happen this year since the ninth installment in the main series is coming out. If not, it will be a certainty for next year because that’s apparently when the franchise will end.

I might also do Ghostbusters this year, since Ghostbusters: Afterlife, which is being touted as the proper third installment everyone wanted, releases this year. Having just said that, I should probably include the most recent attempt at reviving the franchise as well. That way, a proper context as to why they’re trying again so soon will have been established.

An absolute certainty is my most anticipated movie of the entire year: Christopher Nolan’s Tenet. If you thought something like Inception played mind tricks on you, judging by the first trailer for this alone, this might actually top it.

However, it won’t stop there. There are plenty others I haven’t mentioned, and since it’s the beginning of a new decade, I figured why not just surprise everyone with the rest, and so starting this year, I’ll do just that.

With all that having been said, I’ll be back with my next review. What might that be? You’ll just have to wait and see, folks, so look forward to that soon, and I’ll see you there!

*I will just call it Birds of Prey throughout the review, including in the title. The full title is really only worth mentioning once, similar to how it’s been promoted, particularly in the TV spots. The full title is shown because it’s the logo, but only Birds of Prey is stated out loud in voiceover; I will take that same approach in reviewing it. I will even reiterate that when the time comes for me to do the review.
