The Room (2015) -

Finally got around to seeing this. The premise intrigued me and the positive buzz around this amped my anticipation quite a bit. And it's well deserved, because this is one of the best movies of the year. Yes, Brie Larson is amazing and will be nominated for Best Actress for the Oscars. But Jacob Tremblay as Jack was incredible. Truly a great performance by a child actor and I typically loathe child actors, so this is high praise from me.

Great and engaging from start to finish with great performances across the board and a unique commentary of our world now. If you're interested in this movie, you'd be best served staying away from the trailer as it does spoiler key moments. But this is highly recommended and will make my Top 10 list of the year on the upper half.

Just watched this myself last night and couldn't agree more with everything you said.

Thankfully, I'd not really seen many people talking about it until the past day or so (they were basically just saying that it's an incredible film), nor had I seen the trailer... I didn't even read the synopsis lol. I think all that helped improve the enjoyment for me, as I went in completely blind and had no clue what the film was about. It certainly wasn't what I was expecting after seeing the poster right before I sat down to watch it - a great example of why you shouldn't judge a film by its poster.

I'm usually the same when it comes to kids in movies, especially nowadays, as they always seem to cast the most annoying little brats to play important roles. But they 100% made the right decision to cast Jacob Tremblay here... the guy deserves an Oscar for his performance, and I'm sure he'll go on to even greater things after this.

The film isn't in cinemas until January 15th here in the UK, but I know for a fact that it'll remain in my Top 10 of 2016... I already can't wait to rewatch it!

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End -

Everytime I rewatch the series I hope part III wasn't that bad, but it's just to long, overloaded und mediocre.

 

[SteelbookGenius666]

BRONSON 4 out of 5, sorry can't get the Ninja icon's to work, Tom Hardy's fantastic a true beast, very special mention for Matt King and James Lance, both are only in it for 2-3 scene's each but both are crucial to the film again just my opinion.....

The Danish Girl -

I didn’t see a specific movie thread for this, so I’ll include my thoughts here. Great performances from Redmayne and he will definitely get an Oscar nomination. A very subtle, gentle performances that excludes the inner turmoil of an identity struggle. While Redmayne will is great, it is also because Alicia Vikander was just as amazing. Her character’s struggle, pain and frustration are portrayed excellently. Beautifully shot movie with great set pieces and designs; which does not surprise me given Tom Hooper’s other films (Les Mis, King’s Speech).

My issue with the film is that the turn to Lilly was a bit too quick to me. It’s not as quick as Anakin’s turn to the Dark Side, but I definitely think they either rushed it, or they did not provide enough back story hints to show Lilly was truly always on the verge of coming out. The hints for the attraction for men was apparent, but Lilly’s struggle was not just to be with men, but be a real woman. And while Alicia’s performance was great, her character made very questionable decisions that seemed to go directly against what she wanted. I understand that conflict is huge part of this story, but there are better ways to depict this without making the characters seem naïve. The movie provides good insight into the struggles of the transpopulation but actual story could have used some work to make everything seem more organic and realistic. An overall good movie, with nominations for performances all but locked, but not quite good enough to rank with other Best Picture contenders

Hitman: Agent 47 -

Not very good, but if you love stupid action movies, this is passable. More thoughts in the detailed movie thread.

Transporter Refueled -

Also not very good, but again if you love stupid action movies, this is passable. More thoughts in the detailed movie thread.

Time Traveller: The Girl Who Leapt Through Time -

Wasao -

 

[Back to the Matrix]

The Revenant -

An amazing experience, unbelievably nice to look at. Another visual masterpiece from Inarritu and definitely another Oscar for best cinematography. A bit long, but hell... that tension came out of nowhere (at least 3 or 4 times).

 

[Interstellarian]

The Revenant - Incredible. A cinematic experience you won't forget. Enjoyed it just as much as Birdman.

 

[Back to the Matrix]

Armour of God -

Not one of my favourite Jackie Chan films, but still nice to rewatch from time to time.

Armour of God II -

Better than the first one! Like the characters, the humour and especially the action.

End of Watch -

Probably one of my favourite films from the last 10 years. Hell, I love Gyllenhaal and Pena! Besides that, maybe one of the best finales I've ever seen in a film.

 

[Back to the Matrix]

Chinese Zodiac -

Always fun to watch Jackie Chan fight, although the film itself is from time to time quite ridiculous (not the way I loved in Jackie's old movies).

Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation -

Quite unusual, but these franchise seems to keep getting better (compared to most). My favourite part after III.

ROOM
A film that I'm sure will remain in my Top 10 of 2016. Seriously, give that kid (Jacob Tremblay) an Oscar!

JURASSIC WORLD
Very entertaining, if nothing else. Some nice nods to the original in there, and I love how the film itself even admits that Jurassic Park is still king by letting a certain dino win over the other.

THE STANFORD PRISON EXPERIMENT
I couldn't help but feel that they could have gone further with this idea, but the fact that it was based on a true story obviously held them back from doing so. It would've been interesting to see the prisoners and guards switch roles after so long to stir things up even more.

CHAPPIE
This certainly has Neill Blomkamp written all over it, because one thing's for sure... he's picked his own unique style and stuck with it. Never have I cared about a robot as much as I did Chappie.

LOST RIVER
A true piece of art in my opinion. And that soundtrack... an instant favourite for me! I certainly hope this isn't the last time we see Gosling behind the camera.

LOVE & MERCY
I've never been a big fan of Cusack, but this film alone made me question my dislike for him, so that just goes to show how much I enjoyed it. I may have also fallen in love with The Beach Boys album Pet Sounds after seeing the film.

THE REVENANT
With so many raw (in more ways than one... bison liver!?) and intense moments, and the breathtaking cinematography that looks as if it's been taken straight out of an episode of Planet Earth, the only thing I feel is missing is David Attenborough's commentary.

THE BIG SHORT
Too clever/complicated for my poor little brain.

50 Shades of grey

Did go to the cinema to see this with the missus but was more than likely pissed .

Rewatched it tonight and thought it was pretty good

 

[dboy99]

Sicario -
I thought this movie would be more awesome than it was but i was wrong.The Male leads were on point but Emily Blunt was weird and awkward in her role and felt like she didn't belong.Movie would have been way better without her IMO.

The Martian -
Epic space movie with an epic cast.I loved Matt Damon in this movie;he was actually entertaining.Wish We had gotten more Chastain, though.

The secret Life Of Walter Mitty -
Decent movie with a small cast that get's it point across.Ben stiller was great in this role and played the character well.I would like to see him doing more serious stuff than just comedy.

 

[Back to the Matrix]

The Fast and the Furious -

Grew up with the film and still love it. My favourite part of the franchise (on one level with Fast 5).

The Spectacular Now -

A pretty mature coming of age story with some crazy similarities to my life, not perfect though.

Reality -

One of the weirdest films I've ever seen. Guess I have to watch that one again at least once again.

Rush Hour -

Sill nice and one of the better Hollywood movies with Jackie Chan.

 

[AlienKing]

Bounty Killer (2013) -

- Gave me a 'Planet Terror' vibe, but not equally good though. Still, a fun watch. The main chick is pretty hot
Oz: The Great & Powerful (2013) -

- A good background story about Oz. But the movie wasn't put together well. And bad graphics for 2013
War of the Worlds (2005) -

- At least I have the amazing UK steelbook Not completely bad though. The sci-fi elements are cool but watch once type of movie for me.
Hitman: Agent 47 (2015) -

- I'm trying to be nice and not compare to the source material. Even then it's a below average action flick. If I compared to the source, it would've gotten 0.5/5. Seriously . Agent 47 is known for his STEALTH! Not a gun-blazing idiot.
Battle Royale (2000) -

- Man, the acting is rubbish when you watch it after 15 years. But the movie kept me on my toes. I guess that's what you call a classic.

Green Inferno - Huge disappointment This was just a bad copy of cannibal holocaust and i do mean really bad Only savior for this movie was the Jonah kill scene.

 

[Back to the Matrix]

Whiplash -

Wow, what a film. I was truly electrified by J.K. Simmons performance - definitely one of the best I've seen in years. Also, great cinematography, amazing soundtrack and a quite motivating story about wheter or not to do everything to reach your goal. Absolutely inspiring!

 

[Back to the Matrix]

Under Control -

Underwhelming Jackie Chan movie. Didn't expect it to be as funny as his best films, but that film was just strangely written. Nearly no humour and just one good fight.

Blow -

Like biopics like that although it felt quite rushed during the firt half. The finale was amazing!

 

[alphatyrant]

Finally watched SPECTRE today, I'd give it a solid

rating, good decent action but for such a long film it whizzes past pretty quickly. Would have loved to see more from Christoph Waltz as I felt he was just that little bit underdeveloped (hoping he reappears) and watching big Dave B as a pretty decent henchman.

Even better news, I'm now fully booked up for the 2016 Glasgow Frightfest which includes such delights as "SPL II: A Time for Consequences", "Martyrs" (the new reimagined version) and the WORLD PREMIERE of Stephen King's "Cell"
