However, that is not to say that things couldn’t have been better, and if anything, at least less predictable. 2019 was a huge year for movies all around. Box...

Photo credit: Andrea Nebhut
illustration by Andrea Nebhut It seems people are always complaining about how Hollywood has gotten dry and that the era of great movies is long gone.
