10/10 Where do I begin? So last year I thought Sicario was the best film of the year but my favorite film was Mad Max: Fury Road. This year the best film was Manchester by the Sea but this is easily my favorite film and an extremely close second for best film of the year. … Continue reading #84 Film in 2016: La La Land

6.5/10 So I have pretty mixed feelings on this film. First off, this is a better film than The Force Awakens due to a much stronger storyline and less plot holes. However, The Force Awakens is a more fun, enjoyable film with better characters. So although this is a higher quality film, I would much … Continue reading #83 Film in 2016: Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

10/10 I thought when I started these official movie reviews back in January that a perfect 10 would mean just that…that the film was PERFECT. But then I have realized over this year that there is no such thing as a perfect film. Even the best films or ones I love most are not perfect. … Continue reading #82 Film in 2016: Manchester by the Sea

9/10 How this film isn’t going to get nominated for Best Foreign Film is just beyond me. It is extremely rare that I walk into a theater not knowing a single thing about a movie. This was the case with The Handmaiden. I hadn’t seen a trailer, didn’t know what it was about, etc. All … Continue reading #81 Film in 2016: The Handmaiden

7.5/10 I give this film credit for having the most disturbing opening scene of all time. It is literally morbidly obese full nude women dancing…and you see ALL of them. Thankfully, things can only go up from there. I liked a lot about this film. The acting was phenomenal across the board (Michael Shannon continues … Continue reading #80 Film in 2016: Nocturnal Animals

5/10 What a let down from Disney. I guess after so many solid films ("Tangled", "Wreck It Ralph", "Frozen", "Zootopia") they were due for a misfire. And it isn’t even that this film is bad. It isn’t. It is just totally mediocre and average, which is disappointing because I had heard such good things and … Continue reading #79 Film in 2016: Moana

3.5/10 Yikes. You know how there are animated movies that are fun for kids AND adults ("Zootopia") and animated movies that are fun for the kids but pretty miserable for their parents? This film is the latter. Kids will enjoy the music and how colorful the film is and eat it up. As for us … Continue reading #78 Film in 2016: Trolls

8/10 As I have stated before, the biggest factor I take into account when reviewing a comedy is how funny it is. Story is important but I will take a hilarious movie with an average story over a movie that has an amazing story but for a comedy is not funny at all. This film … Continue reading #77 Film 2016: Bad Santa 2

3.5/10 TRIGGER WARNING! This movie has inspired me to get my reviews out in a timelier manner so I can do my best to warn people about truly bad films like this. This is a bad movie, I promise you. When the Cinema Sins video comes out for this, they will back me up. The … Continue reading #75 Film in 2016: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
