© Warner Bros Pictures OK. So you've had barely time to breathe now that 2023 is over. But don't let that stop you. It's time look ahead at the treats that cinema has in store for us in 2024. So what are the twelve films Pomona is most looking forward to this year? First up, let's chat about what isn't on there. Ryan Gosling's outing as ' The Fall Guy ' hasn't made the Top 12 list. Nor have the sequels to ' Deadpool ,' ' Inside Out ,' ' Beetlejuice ,' ' Twister ' or the ' A Quiet Place ' prequel. ' Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes ' missed out too but here's our guide to twelve films to look out for in 2024. THE HOLDOVERS (January) Alexander Payne reunites with his ' Sideways ' star Paul Giamatti for this tale of boarders in a New England prep school who have to stay over the Christmas vacation. With Giamatti playing a grumpy history teacher tasked with looking after the pupils, expect this

As exciting as the cinema will be in 2024, what will we be switching on on our small screens this year? 2024 will see the Olympics in Paris, a new 'Doctor Who' go full throttle, the return of 'The Traitors' and 'Gladiators' to British TV and Netflix's 'Bridgerton'. None of these, however, are on our top ten watchlist. Here's what's Pomona is most looking forward to. TRUELOVE (Channel 4, January) Take a top drawer cast over the age of 70, put them in a dark comedy drama about ageing and see how it pans out. That's exactly what Charlie Covell and Ian Weatherby have done for this six part comedy for Channel 4 about friends meeting at a wake who decide to help each other avoid a grim, slow decline into death. With Covell having previously delivered ' The End of the F**king World ,' and a cast including Lindsay Duncan, Clarke Peters, Sue Johnston, Phil Davis, Peter Egan and Karl Johnson, if this is executed well this has cult show writ

© Warner Bros Pictures After years of superheroes, petrol heads and space cowboys dominating the box office, 2023 might be the year when traditional cinema finally bit back. 2023 will be remembered as the year of 'Barbenheimer'. Greta Gerwig's comedy ' Barbie ' stormed the summer box office in a blaze of pink, surpassing box office expectations. Christopher Nolan's ' Oppenheimer ' also benefitted, riding its coattails to become even more surprisingly, the third most popular film of the year. 2023 was also a year when audiences started to show signs they were tiring of franchise films - particularly superhero films. © Universal Pictures It was also a year when a quirky, martial arts dominated, indie multiverse movie blew its rivals aside during awards season and triumphed at the Oscars.  'Barbenheimer,' though, was the quip on everyone's lips when Warner Bros and Universal Pictures decided to pitch two eagerly awaited movies against each other

© BBC 2023 was a year of goodbyes. In the world of the talk show, the hosts of two 'Late Late Shows' - James Corden and Ryan Tubridy - hung up their suits only to be replaced on CBS by Taylor Tomlinson and on RTE by the Northern Irish comedian Patrick Kielty. Some big hitting dramas also bowed out. The year began with a third and final outing for Sally Wainwright's BBC1 Yorkshire crime drama 'Happy Valley' with Sarah Lancashire, Jim Norton and Siobhan Finneran. But while fans mourned the departure of the Yorkshire drama, its much anticipated climactic showdown between Lancashire's no nonsense Sergeant Catherine Cawood and Norton's offender Tommy Lee Royce proved a bit anti-climactic. Apple TV+'s hugely popular football sitcom ' Ted Lasso ' seemed to go out with a whimper, suffering from third season syndrome and some rather baggy elongated episodes. The fifth and final season of Amazon Prime's comedy drama ' The Marvelous Mrs Maisel '
