Summer is for blockbusters, but winter is when things get really interesting at the movies. Especially this year, which offers up a season packed with long-awaited sequels, Oscar-hungry prestige dramas, and megawatt stars. At The A.V. Club we have plenty of burning questions about these year-end projects. Like which massive special effects extravaganza will claim the box office crown. Whether audiences are open to another historical drama loaded with A-listers after the Amsterdam debacle. And if Jennifer Lawrence can recapture her award-winning ways. So get yourself prepped for Hollywood’s big finish to 2022. The questions, and maybe even some answers, await.

“…the kind of thing that keeps The A.V. Club’s film team up at night” these days I guess would be finishing your homework.
I’ve been confusing The Menu with The Invitation for like six months.
I’m betting Avatar’s underwater VFX will be miles ahead of Black Panther’s, but Panther will be the movie more people talk about.
“[Jennifer Lawrence] did co-lead an Oscar best picture nominee, Don’t Look Up, with Leonardo DiCaprio just last year”Good grief, that movie was so inconsequential it seems like it was released years ago.
