Cypress Posted April 29, 2019 Loved it. Just got home from a 3 hour cinematic journey into heaven. Now, I am about to hit play on the GOT episode that carries the longest, most epic battle scene in movie history. What a time to be alive! Quote Share this post Link to post

gporter Posted May 2, 2019 They should just cancel the sonic movie entirely. Quote Share this post Link to post
Gold Posted May 14, 2019 They should cancel all video game movies. They are always terrible. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
Knighty Knight Posted May 15, 2019 Warcraft and Silent Hill aren't terrible. Prince of Persia, Final Fantasy and the most recent Tomb Raider are the best. Mortal Kombat & Pokemon are just awesome to watch as a fan. Quote Share this post Link to post
Basu Posted June 4, 2019 Anyone seen the new Godzilla? Shit's awesome. As a fan of the entire franchise I was suprised by the amount of callbacks to previous movies. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
Mr Grim Posted June 8, 2019 I just watched detective Pikachu and Broly recently. The former was a solid flick but Broly was crazy (minus the minor retcons to bardock). Quote Share this post Link to post

I love talking about movies and television. I'm curios to know what peoples top 10 films are. That's a lot of work for me, but I can give you my favorite films from 2015 onwards (that's when I started working at a movie theatre and started really watching movies a lot): 2015: Green Room. I didn't see Ex Machina in theatre since that was before I started, that might have taken the cake if I did. I don't think it's the best film of the year, per say, but I found the conflict fun and how the situation was more or less grounded. Great performance from Anton Yelchin, RIP. 2016: Manchester by the Sea. Moonlight was great that year too, but Manchester would be my pick for Best Picture. Fantastic performances from Casey Afflec, Lucas Hedges, and Michelle Williams really tell the story of how to live life when have to face a tragic past. 2017: A Ghost Story. Definitely not for everyone: it's very slow paced and thin on plot. I'm not sure why, but even though I could easily see people conceiving this as overly artsty (there's a full five minute scene of Rooney Mara eating pie that I think most would be the most boring scene in cinema but one that was actually my favorite scene that year) the visuals, pacing, and camera work created for me something that made me think with enough substance for me to keep chewing on those thoughts for some time. 2018: The Favourite. Roma was a great film that year, but gotta give my Best Picture vote that year to Favourite. Fantastic performances from Colman, Stone, and Weiss throughout the whole film with the writer/director Lanthimos seemliessly transitioning the reversal between two characters' roles as protagonist/antagonist. Super funny with plenty of meat on the bones for the dramatic bits. Plenty to go for this year still (haven't had a chance to see any of the award favorites that are starting to release), but my first half pick would be Midosmmar. Beautiflly crafted psychological film with plenty of fantastic visuallys and enough time given to fully develop character relationships and their shifts over the course of the story. What movies have you enjoyed in the past five years? Quote Share this post Link to post

Here's my kind of unofficial list. https://letterboxd.com/hully14/list/my-favorites/ Literally everything you listed except for The Favourite is on my watchlist, and The Favourite isn't on there only because I've seen it, loved it, and is in my favorites list.

Knighty Knight Posted October 15, 2020 Also interested to hear why. I loved that movie so much Quote Share this post Link to post
francisbaud Posted October 16, 2020 I think there were a few things that were immersion breaking (but that's not only thing that created the disappointment). Example: When they're on the highway with the mini-van and all the cars have stopped working, they are all parked at the side of the road like no driver would have got stuck ON the road. So that allows Tom to magically go through the highway without any issue. Or the scene when they're driving slowly through a lot of people (at the port I think) and those people start acting like zombies to get in the mini-van, breaking the glass with their bare hands. I think it's exaggerated. It's the accumulation of little things like that that made me appreciate it less than the first time I've watched it. I would have to watch it again since last time I only watched some of it. Quote Quote Share this post Link to post
Knighty Knight Posted October 17, 2020 Suspend disbelief. Nothing about that movie is realistic! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
