It has a fantastic addition to the cast.
All films are art.
It’s a good one. Definitely among the best war movies.
Same and same, with the latter category housing Full Metal Jacket in a close second.
Great film.
Pretty good, though somewhat forgettable.
Hell Or High Water (2016)
Unfortunately this never came to theatres here. Finally got around to seeing it and liked it a lot.
Loving (2016)
This never came to theatres here, either. So, again, finally... etc. Well acted, Ruth Negga, especially. Good, but somehow didn't fully manage to engage me.
Clouds Of Sils Maria (2014)
Pretty good, but not quite my cup of tea.
The Florida Project (2017)
I liked Sean Baker's previous film, Tangerine a lot, so considered that enough of a recommendation to see this one, and it is quite wonderful. The non-actors do a great job at acting, and Willem Defoe is great (as usual).
The Rover (2014)
A somewhat depressing, yet good, dystopian drama. Watched for director David Michôd. And acting-wise for Guy Pearce, but was pretty impressed by Robert Pattinson.
Free Fire (2016)
I expected this to be more fun than it was, but still okay.
A Monster Calls (2016)
A fascinating idea, not perfectly executed, something seemed to be lacking a bit, though I couldn't put my finger on what exactly. Still quite good, and the kid was excellent.
Molly's Game (2017)
This has basically two main stars. One is Jessica Chastain who is good in the lead role, and the second is Sorkin's typically wordy script, which I tend to find exhausting, and did here as well.
The Shape Of Water (2017)
Well, it looks very nice. Good acting, too, especially Sally Hawkins, plus a good cast in general. I quite liked the fantasy side, that story worked pretty well, but the conventional gun/sadism stuff didn't fit into that too well. On the whole, I liked this, but not as much as I hoped I might.
The Darjeeling Limited (2007)
I decided to watch this, finally, just because it's a Wes Anderson movie - not that I'm a huge fan or anything, but I was curious because of him... despite the non-interesting main cast. It was... ok.
The Great Wall (2016)
I don't think I've heard a single good word on this one, but it is a Zhang Yimou film, so I had to watch anyway, I've liked everything else I've seen from him. But... yeah. What the hell even happened with this movie? So, so bad, gawd.
Billy: The Early Years (2008)
About the beginning and early years of evangelist Billy Graham's career... which already sounds like enough to get me rolling my eyes. So, I was surprised to find the movie not be some headache-inducing Bibble bashing at all, to offer other takes on stuff, and to be at times really - gasp - funny. Still not great, but certainly better and more entertaining than I expected.
Lady Bird (2017)
What this has in common with its fellow Best Pic/Best Director/Best Actress/Best Original Screenplay nominee The Shape Of Water is a great cast, and some good story stuff. I liked this one as well, but also didn't like this as much as I wished I did. I wanted to love both of these movies. Still good though.
It was just okay.... :/
Good luck @Birdleson. Hope you don’t hate it like La La Land.
Has it? I'm not aware of a backlash. It's been a month since the nominations... The difference to something like La La Land is that it's not a front runner. (Most nominations, yes, but...) Nor is anything else, really. If anything, then theoretically 3 Billboards, but it's supposedly not something that should do well with preferential ballot. - I haven't seen it yet, it's opening here this weekend, as is Phantom Thread... soon I will have seen the Best Pic nominee lot.
And most acting nominees, though unlike Best Pic (which seems tricky and messy to predict), I guess those are locked already, which is kinda boring, and since I won't be thrilled with the winners, I'd love to see surprises, but not expecting any. What happened with the Acting categories has apparently never happened before. That the same people won all televised precursors - Golden Globes (drama), BFCA, SAG, BAFTA - McDormand, Oldman, Janney, Rockwell. And that the major critics groups had very different ideas: Hawkins/Ronan, Chalamet, Metcalf, Dafoe.
Hey, 3rd place is respectable! I'm glad to see that! I need to see Thor Ragnarok still. I think Lady Bird is a solid one, and Three Billboards is decent but the most overrated one of the year. Still have yet to see Call Me By Your Name as well.
How I feel about The Avengers (2012).
No Baby Driver on your annual list. Great film.
1. The Shape of Water
2. It
3. Blade Runner 2049
4. Dunkirk
5. Phantom Thread
6. Logan
7. Coco
8. Get Out
9. The Florida Project
10. Baby Driver
The Post, Lady Bird, and The Disaster Artist barely miss out.
You gave it 10 minutes? I quit at the title. (Bless Edgar Wright's heart, I do love Shaun of the Dead)
You quit at the title........ :)
You missed a Great film. His best film. A instant Classic, and you quit at the title...
I disagree.
Or can you explain to me what would make the Transformers films or all those hyped up Marvel films art?
All Art isn't liked by All people.
The Academy Awards, presented by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
Lucky you didn't quit at the title like some people do. :)
