    Haven't seen it. Was a joke. You also gave the original Rocky 5/5 which is controversial in itself.

    You have bad taste in general though

    Nah, but I like Coogler. Excited it's getting a good reception. 2015 mainstream was weak sauce.

    I disagree tbh. Magic Mike XXL is also top 5 of the year.

    http://aestheticsofthemind.com/2016/01/01/the-hateful-eight-tarantino-2015/

    The 70mm is glorious, though Tarantino does little to use the medium to his advantage. Snowfall is visceral and the actors pop off the screen, but with so much of the film set in a cabin, it feels that 70mm was mostly used in vain. And this here is the crux of the film: vanity. Tarantino’s intentions and mannerisms reach a level of ego and obnoxiousness—and sometimes stupidity—that the otherwise interesting story is almost completely undermined. While Jennifer Jason Leigh is brilliant, the rest of the cast, Samuel L. Jackson especially, feel like caricatures, drawn with such generic single-mindedness that it is difficult to care about anyone’s role—though I suppose they are all hateful, so there’s that. There are times of suspenseful narration and entertaining visuals, but the film is rather without substance as its formal structure and thematic intentions are constantly being altered and contradicted by unbalanced direction.

    68/100 – Decent.

    I actually did feel for the characters and thought it was a pretty effective and intimate movie, much prefer it to his more obnoxious recent output. It was also easily Jennifer's best performance from any of their collabs.

    Silver Linings Playbook is the only O'Struggle we acknowledge.

    besides Bale's performance in The Fighter obviously

    So you're big on Francofonia? I thought it was great, but was a little let down tbh. Where does it fit in your Sokurov ranking.
    Right Now is dope af.

    What's the point in keeping up with modern filmmaking when there are hundreds on hundreds of certifiable masterpieces out there that I haven't watched yet?

      Star Wars: The Force Awakens 2015
      ★★★½ Watched 03 Jan, 2016

      [REVIEW] 79/100 - Star Wars VII: The Force Awakens (Abrams, 2015)

      Its strongest ‘force’ is that it retains the heart of the original Star Wars trilogy by presenting friendships and camaraderie in the face of evil... perhaps this is what Star Wars VII: The Force Awakens is to its predecessors: a fanboy with the excitement, drive, and intention to rise up to the same level and beyond. And, for the most part, it does an admirable job.

      Chess Fever 1925
      ★★★ Watched 02 Jan, 2016

      Whacky and at times humorous, but all too often banal, basic, and sluggish.

      70/100 - Good.

      Hilarious, insightful, mind-bending, short and sweet. layers upon layers of depth is found in its simplicity.

      A masterclass in film editing and the underrated little brother of Vertov's opus MAN WITH A MOVIE CAMERA. Simply wonderful.

      95/100 - Amazing.

      Gaslight 1944
      ★★★★ Watched 01 Jan, 2016

      Visually powerful, using light, shadows, and gas effused fog to bring mystery and eeriness to otherwise predictable fare.

      83/100 - Great.
