I'm sad to read it's the last film you and your dad watched together; then again, it's a good choice if it must be the last.
Great film.
And @001, just saw it a few days ago. I really love it - a lot more than I used to. Have to buy it soon.
Pretty good
Pretty good. That movie is perfection.
Saw QT's 'The Hateful Eight' finally today and wow. I don't know if it's because I didn't have high expectations, due to the fact that none of the trailers had me terribly interested, but I think this might be my new favorite Tarantino film. I had a lot of fun with this whodunit, it was 'Django Unchained' meets 'Reservoir Dogs.' Surprised it's had so many mediocre reviews.
1) Sicario (simply the best movie this year)
2) The Martian
3) Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation
4) Bridge of Spies
5) Spectre
6) Mad Max: Fury Road
7) Everest
8) Bone Tomahawk
9) SPL 2: A Time for Consequences
10) Ex Machina
As The Revenant and Hateful 8 aren't due out here until 2016 they're not on my list. And John Wick I saw in October 2014.
And the Stinkers of 2015
1) The Man from UNCLE
2) The Transporter Refueled
3) Pan
4) Jurassic World
5) Tomorrowland
6) Hunger Games: Mockingjay pt 2
7) The Hitman: Agent 47
8) Point Break
9) Green Inferno
10) Star Wars: The Force Awakens
Reading your lists, it suddenly hit me that my reviews of JW earlier this year and TFA last week, when compared, are quite contradictory. :-S You put both films in the stinkers section, I'd put them both in the top 10 but TFA so much more than JW, which is strange given that in both cases
I guess in the end I'm so much more into Star Wars than I am into Jurassic Park and thus, I'm so much more forgiving of SW? Or just craving the old stuff like my life depended on it? I don't know. I'm very confused now.
I agree with putting SP, MMFR, MI:RN and EM in the upper list. (Haven't seen those other ones yet.) Personally, I'd put the UNCLE film in that list too, seeing how much fun I had with that one too. (And Age Of Ultron, can't help it, belongs in the upper list as well IMO.)
My top 3 for theatrical films this year?
1) MMFR
2) SP, TFA
3) Kingsmen: The Secret Service
Yes, Mad Max did it for me. Splendid, exciting, visually stunning achievement!
Since I got to see Blade Runner in the theatre this year too, I might actually have to go as follows:
1) Blade Runner
2) MMFR
3) SP, TFA
"That guy cracks me up."
;))
I've rarely had this much fun in my life. Washington and Brosnan, despite both being over 60 years old, still are proper badasses and manage to destroy all the bad guys that are half their age. I really love these 2 films, a throwback to old school action films.
Very much agreed. I rather enjoyed both films as well and am very much looking forward to their upcoming sequels.
Birds - Hitchcock goes creature feature, very good indeed.
Very good and creepy
Jurassic Park III
I've heard from everyone that this one sucks, but i just had to watch it so that i have seen em all. And yes it did suck, my least fav of the Jurassic franchise
I'm sorry to say but Force Awakens misses Lucas at the helm and the whole movie just feels flat. Despite all this talk of practical effects and tangible sets, the movie as a whole felt like a huge step backwards storywise; a cynical retread of the original movie to appease the less critical fan element. Though I give Disney full marks for convincing a lot of people it's good. Thing was I really wanted to like Force Awakens.
Also, the reason why UNCLE sits at no 1 of my Stink List is for the simple reason it has nothing, zippo, diddly-squat to do with the origiinal TV show that it took its name from, and I found it a fraudulent misuse of the title. Also, the movie wasn't very good.
Unique movie, but not really my cup of tea.
Usual superhero fun with some fantastic action and special effects
sequences.
Han Solo & Chewbacca being Icons and SP lacking any of them.
Very good, loved it. Great acting, cinematography and score. Man this movie makes me wish they get Deakins back for another bond film. I have one gripe with the movie however, the plot was a bit messy.
Despite one or 2 overly melodramatic moments, I genuinely like this film. It hasn't had the best release history. Originally intended as a theatrical release, but instead premiered on tv. Home releases haven't fared much better. It was released in the US on VHS, and only VHS. Here in the UK, we at least had a DVD release, but that was on the infamous, and now dead (not to mention hard to find) 'Vipco Vault Of Horror' line. This is quite possibly the rarest DVD in my collection, moreso than even Exposé (1976).
I have a considerable weakness for Jaclyn Smith, and Robert Mitchum shows that even in the later years of his career, he can still believably play a thoroughly nasty piece of work. Nightkill has possibly the nastiest, most mean spirited ending to a film that i've seen.
I've talked about Nightkill in the past, but I happen to think that it's an unfairly overlooked film.
This is an odd dystopian sci-fi film made in the mid-seventies (1973 I think), full of typical seventies mores, based on a Michael Moorcock novel. Hadn't heard of it before I bought it, a film that probably failed on initial release and has been forgotten about since. The final programme itself being a design for a self-replicating immortal being, which is on a micro-film. The main protagonist tries to get this from his druggy psychotic brother. There is a very odd cameo from Sterling Hayden, lots of weird 70s design, some boobies and a group of scientists and sex. Strange film.
