You Weighed In on the Movies/Shows This Year You’re Most Excited For

Is It Just Me… Or Are Movies Finally Back?

For a while there, it felt like movies kind of disappeared.

It makes sense why. When Covid hit, theaters shut down, productions stopped, and Hollywood pressed pause. That part made sense. But even after things started opening back up, it still felt like something was missing.

Maybe it was just sequel overload. Maybe streaming changed how we watch everything. Or maybe we all got a little spoiled binge-watching shows from the couch.

But lately? It feels like movies are making a comeback.

And judging by the messages rolling in from YOU, I’m definitely not the only one feeling excited about what’s headed to theaters.

The Ones I’m Personally Counting Down To

Great list so far! Now, if we’re talking personal excitement, I already know my top two.

First, The Devil Wears Prada 2.

I don’t even care how long it’s been. I just made my mom watch the first one with me again and now she's even excited to go see the second one. The original is one of those movies that never gets old, and seeing those characters come back? The iconic outfits?! I mean, come on.

And then there’s The Odyssey.

The Odyssey is nostalgic in a way because it was one of those stories I had to read out of a big English book freshman year of Highschool. You don't forget a book like the Odyssey, and I can only imagine what the movie is going to be like, especially considering the Director is Christopher Nolan. Big-scale storytelling, epic adventure, and seeing how this classic gets brought to life on screen has me eagerly curious.

Maybe The Movie Magic Is Back

Maybe nothing will ever fully recreate the feeling of lining up for a huge movie premiere years ago… but it does feel like Hollywood finally has some momentum again.

And if the MY1053 audience is any indication, people are ready to grab the popcorn and head back to the theater.

So now I’ve got to ask…
