Have you seen the second Shazam movie yet? Grace Fulton is one of my favourite characters.
Shazam
2019 Movie Rankings
Hello Cinephiles,
This year was a pretty good year for movies. Some fantastic action offerings and absolutely amazing animated films.
I saw 22 movies and for the first time in a long time I didn’t see anything that I hated.
This is the fifth year that an animated film is my highest ranked and the second that it’s not a Disney movie.
This is the ranking of movies I saw in theatres (or rented) that were released in 2019. This doesn’t include Netflix originals, made for TV Movies, or straight to DVD releases.
These are ranked by how much I enjoyed them and not their quality as “Films”.
Absolutely Loved
- Abominable
- Frozen II
- Nancy Drew and the Hidden Staircase
- Captain Marvel
- Spider-Man: Far From Home
- Spies in Disguise
- Shazam!
- Men In Black: International
- Pokemon Detective Pikachu
- Happy Death Day 2U
It was good
- The Kid Who Would Be King
- Hobbs & Shaw
- Jumanji: The Next Level
- Charlie’s Angels
- Knives Out
- Aladdin (Live Action)
Meh
- The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part
- How To Train Your Dragon: Hidden World
- Dora and the Lost City of Gold
- Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker
- Avengers: Endgame
- Toy Story 4
Looks like 2020 will be eclectic and interesting.

Shazam film locations
Like the majority of superhero fans, I recently saw Shazam.
By recently, I mean last night.
And then I dreamt about it all night.
There are two ways I could re-live the movie: go see it again (tempted…) or go visit the film locations.
Fortunately, Shazam was mostly filmed in Canada – and not on the West Coast (which is always a beautiful spot to film for outdoorsy shots, but VERY far away).
That’s right, Shazam was filmed mostly in Toronto and Hamilton, with the major shots of the city skyline shot in Philadelphia.
This article says that Shazam is set in Fawcett City, but either the author got that information from the comics or the movie changed its mind, because it is actually set in Philadelphia (for the most part). Other than that, the article has a great list of the film locations and when they were used in the movie.
Have you seen the movie yet? What did you think?
If you wish to visit the film locations in Shazam and need travel assistance, you know where to find me!
