Happy New Year Followers!!! Welcome to the first day of 2021. Saying I'm thankful to be in this new year is an understatement. 2020 was a rough one for a ton of people for a plethora of reasons. But a new year means new beginnings and in this case new movies. The 2021 lineup could be one of the most intriguing of the year for it could really set the tone for the landscape of Hollywood films moving forward. A ton of films will hopefully finally see the light of day with some making their debut simultaneously in theaters and on streaming services. It's a culture shift to be sure but the way the world is now makes the need to adapt that much more urgent and necessary. Quite a few of these films I'm about to talk about in this top ten list you've probably seen before as they were present in my 2020 top ten. Thanks to COVID-19, however, release dates were shifted and now these movies look to finally arrive to entertain consumers either in cineplexes or at home. Bottom-line, uncertainty is still very present right now and some of these movies could see another delay if the pandemic situation does not improve. But optimism is what I look to bring to the table in this new year and that has me excited about the possibility of experiencing these movies safely and in the best way possible. So without further delay, let's run down the list of movies that will hopefully see their time in the sun in 2021.
