Short Agenda This Week
Comments by Ken Burke
Now that I’ve caught up on just about all I wanted to see of 2024 releases—which has led to my revised Top 10 of last year, noted just below (tentative list in our February 20, 2025 posting) with links to their reviews—the time seemed right for my annual (sometimes semi-annual) break from posting reviews in favor of giving my wonderful wife, Nina, a reprieve from her voluntary-but-ongoing kitchen duties so I can bring together some spaghetti and chianti for our 3 nights of viewing of The Godfather trilogy (Francis Ford Coppola; 1972, 1974, 1990), but I’ll return to reviews next week, although you will find farther below the usual Related Links listings which might keep you busy until then, or, if not, I’ll leave you with a Musical Metaphor, the theme from the original Godfather film (composed by Nino Rota), gloriously illustrated with many images from this grand masterpiece.
(Revised) Top 10 of 2024 Theatrical Releases
1. Conclave (Edward Berger)
2. Nickel Boys (RaMell Ross)
3. A Complete Unknown (James Mangold)
4. The Brutalist (Brady Corbet)
5. Emilia Pérez (Jacques Audiard)
6. The Substance (Coralie Fargeat)
9. The Piano Lesson (Malcolm Washington)
10. Wicked: Part I (John M. Chu)

*Please ignore previous warnings about a “dead link” to our Summary page because the problem’s been manually fixed so that all postings since July 11, 2013 now have the proper functioning link.

OUR POSTINGS PROBABLY LOOK BEST ON THE MOST CURRENT VERSIONS OF MAC OS AND THE SAFARI WEB BROWSER (although Google Chrome usually is decent also); OTHERWISE, BE FOREWARNED THE LAYOUT MAY SEEM MESSY AT TIMES.
Finally, for the data-oriented among you, Google stats say over the past month the total unique hits at this site were 8,652—a huge drop-off from the marvelous 40-50K of some recent months; never overestimate yourself! (As always, we thank all of you for your ongoing support with our hopes you’ll continue to be regular readers.) Below is a snapshot of where those responses have come from within the previous week (with appreciation for the unspecified “Others” also visiting Two Guys’ site):
