As
2015 began to wind on down I was worried that I wouldn't even have
enough good movies to create a top ten list. Turns out that better
movies came out in the last few months which even though Camille
reminds me of this each year I still rage against it demanding good
movies all year long, not just during award season. I looked through
and read my reviews for every new movie I watched this year and even
included five honorable mentions. Click here to check out my Top 12
Best Films Of 2014.
You
know I really enjoyed a movie when I was expecting car chases and
explosions but end up seeing a movie where people wear clothes that
when I see them in posters immediately turn me off as a movie goer.
Quote
from review. “This movie was good. It wasn't an explosion fest,
there's not a ton of violence, a dog gets shot, and I could not
figure out how this was going to end. I thought it was going one way,
it went another, then I figured out how it'd go, then it didn't.”
If you
had seen me in the theater watching this movie you would have thought
that I had personally invested money in this and my livelihood
depended on the success of it. This film was awesome as shit.
Quote
from review. “I think if I had any complaint it would be Thor. I am
just not digging him but it isn't enough to change my opinion about
this movie. Go see it along with the rest of the world.”
I am
not sure why I gave this a 9 instead of a 10 considering it was one
of few Blu-Rays and soundtracks I got this year. I have watched this
close to twenty times since buying it. I love this movie and if you
don't chances are we'll never be close.
Quote
from review. “For anyone that says the fire guitar guy is stupid
think back to the drummers and flute guys that used to be at the head
of armies marching. At least fire guitar guy has a weapon.”
I was
so happy watching this in theaters. I'm not a fan of the stars but as
I sat there cheering early in the day with a few other people in the
theater I knew that I was watching something special that no one else
was.
Quote
from review. “I really enjoyed this movie. This summer has been
full of crumby ass movies with one or two sprinkled in to give me
hope. This one will for sure be in my top ten favorites of the year.”
Definitely
one of my favorite movies of last year. It was just as good the
second time around. Like a lot of movies last year the trailer didn't
do it justice and spoiled it at the same time.
Quote
from review. “I laughed, I cheered, I screamed “Fuck!” when he
did after something went wrong.”
A
movie that I had heard of and it looked sad as shit but turned out to
be not as sad as I thought and way better than I could have imagined.
Looking back it turns out I have liked a lot of films about people
not being able to leave a small space.
Quote
from review. “Cam liked this movie more than I did and after
sleeping on it and thinking of it as the dentist drilled into my
mouth this morning I enjoyed the movie more.”
Hard
to watch yet difficult to look away from. Like me nude. This movie
was absolutely brutal and incredible.
Quote
from review. “The way it was shot was creative but not overbearing.
The music fit every scene. This was just super good and I'd
definitely watch it a few more times and tell others to.”
A
movie I didn't know existed until tickets were purchased. This was
really good and worth everyone checking out since you will be hearing
a lot more about it very soon.
Quote
from review. “I had this mixture of being happy that Einar could be
who he believed he truly was as Lili and feeling terrible for his
wife who was watching her husband become another person but trying to
be supportive.”
One of
those movies that made me happy that movies are a thing. It happens
every year or so.
Quote
from review. “The look of this movie was very good as well as the
acting. I liked seeing Saoirse and Tony together in this. He reminded
me of Ryan Gosling in Drive but less killy.”
So
stupid that more people have not seen this and have not gotten a
chance to because it is so good.
Quote
from review. “This is not getting great reviews but that shouldn't
stop you from checking it out. Learn to be an adult and make your own
choices!”
