Scotty Newton - All Round Entertainer

  Happy new year folks! Welcome to my annual daft wee movie blog post, recapping my year in cinema and aiming to give you a few laughs for a few minutes. Bit late this year. I usually post it on December 31st, but truth be told- I'm just knackered. I think we all are from 2021. And what a year it was- musicals to multiverses, with everything in between. There were plenty of highs with the arrival of a few blockbusters that were delayed from last year, as well as quite a few lows, with studios occasionally missing the mark and making 'checklist' movies with no originality or point for existing (except $$$).  Will try to keep this year's awards more upbeat and focussed on celebrating the year in film, rather than putting down films- as even the most misguided, cynical, or failed movie will have had hard working people in the crew. People who don't deserve to see something they've been involved with shat upon, by me. Oh and don't worry I will have NO SPOILERS f...

    2020 was fun, wasn't it? You don't need me to recap the fun we've all had this year. But here you can escape thinking about diseases, curfews and elections for 5 minutes with my traditional end of year movie post. Unfortunately, with the beginning of the death of cinemas, an intense work project and you know, 2020, my movie watching took a pretty sizeable dip this year. However, the show must go on! And I know the whole film industry has been anticipating the Scottscars since this time last year, so here we go! I'll keep it brief as I know everyone just wants this year to be over, at this point. First up, the running order for this post. 1. End of year statistics (everyone's favourite bit) 2. The Scottscars Awards,  3. My predictions from last year 4. Finally, a brand spanking new set of predictions for 2021 STATISTICS!      I hate watching movies in the house. Your phone goes off, the itch to check your social media, the crap sound/picture balancing on...

          So it's been quite the year. Quite the year indeed. From celebrity deaths to crazy political shifts to me spending the last 8 weeks recovering from surgery, quality films have been needed more than ever to distract us average joes from the chaos of 2016.            Once again, I didn't get to see as many new movies as I would have liked (104 to be exact, 23 of them being rewatches, but who's counting?) but the year certainly has given us some incredible highs, like when we discovered just what was really going on in Arrvial , and some facepalm inducing lows, like TMNT 2 from start to finish. So with that, here are my thought on the past year, followed by some predictions I made last year ( which didn't go so well) and a brand new shiny set for next year. Enjoy! THE AWARDS!
