WHAT I LIKED: Now I really enjoyed the first X-Men, and I didn't for a moment expect that they'd top it with X2... but boy did they; with Bryan Singer bringing everything a sequel should have and setting a bit of a comic-book gold standard along t... Read the full review »
Mi piace questo film. Mi piacciano i film commedia romantica. Il film, La mafia uccide solo d’estate, è stato buon. La storia del personaggio, Arturo, era come serendipità. Mi è piaciuto come la storia e la storia del personaggio, Arturo... Read the full review »
@TheFilmRascalShow I think there's been some good stuff in there; I'd recommend listening to Nocturnal Animals or Hell or High Water - they're both incredible. Some other favourites for me were High Rise, Magnificent 7 and X-Men Apocalypse!

WHAT I LIKED: Unlike his debut piece which was more concerned with context than character, Steve McQueen's 'Shame,' is a meticulous character-study that spends its entire run-time examining a man with a sex addiction and severe emotional detachmen... Read the full review »
First and foremost, I'm going to open this up with saying that I'm a fan of not only DC Comics, but a fan of DC movies as well. I was one of the few who actually defended BvS (even though it's in no shape or form a perfect movie) and still remain... Read the full review »
@Barneyonmovies Favorite scores of 2016? Hmm. To be honest, there really hasn't been anything that stands out. I don't think I saw any film that has a score that'll be immortalized. Everything is so generic.

WHAT I LIKED: 'High Rise' is a film driven entirely by its themes, and it certainly succeeds on that front. Yes in fact this is easily one of the most interesting social commentaries I've seen in a long time, and I suppose that's mainly down to th... Read the full review »
At first look, Southpaw appears to be about the boxing lifestyle, but after watching it, I feel the real crux of the story is love and family. I enjoyed the story and the amount of emotion that comes across as you watch the film. I wish they hadn'... Read the full review »

I'm going to be in the minority here when I say that Denis Villeneuve's ARRIVAL is a film I didn't love. Don't get me wrong, it has all the makings of a good film, but I just couldn't help feeling overall unsatisfied.
Villenueve is a filmmaker t... Read the full review »

I've only seen a handful of war films, but Mel Gibson directed the hell of this movie. There's no pacifying the horrors of war here with bodies often shown shot up, blown to pieces, torched with fire--blood, intestines, and the like. Definitely no... Read the full review »
An unexpected surprise for me. Doctor Strange was an engaging "comic book movie" from the Marvel universe. It often arrives at the right balance of spectacle and character development. This coming from someone who is not in the legion of comic boo... Read the full review »
