Re: Jinn's 100 Films of the 2010s

That combo of Upstream Color/The Lighthouse/Holy Motors, whew! What a golden dose of surrealism and what-the-****ery. Love all three.

Re: Jinn's 100 Films of the 2010s

Never seen Gravity. I said it a few times in Corrie but it's a film I regret not seeing in theaters and I always get the feeling that the experience will be "lesser" on TV. Maybe I should give in one...

I'm a huge fan of Kobayashi's version, but I'm open to check this out. I'll take this placement as an endorsement.

I'd be curious to see this too.

I really dug the film and loved how each segment widely varied in terms of humor and tone, while essentially carrying the same message and to a certain extent,...

I admit to dozing off at some points (not the film's fault), but even though I'm pretty sure I went back to catch up, I might have missed the essence of it. A rewatch is on my watchlist for sure.

Re: Jinn's 100 Films of the 2010s

Some thoughts...

Sicario is pretty solid. Everybody in the cast is great, and Villeneuve's direction is superb. That whole caravan into Mexico during the first half was extremely tense. But when...

Re: Jinn's 100 Films of the 2010s

I really, really liked A Ghost Story. Quite a lot, actually.

Shutter Island, like most Scorsese, really missed the mark with me. Meh.

I really dug this, as heavy-handed and in-your-face as it was. Overall, I think it works well. This was the first Bong film I saw, so maybe I wasn't as attuned to his style as I am now, but it's...

I liked this film, but not as much as most people. Kent's direction is great and the film is effectively creepy, well-paced, and patient for the most part, but I think it got a bit off her hands in...

Haven't seen A Most Violent Year yet, but I really dug Margin Call. Like you said, good management of a great ensemble.

Probably my two least favorite Tarantino films, even if I still enjoyed them. I haven't seen it in a while, but I remember thinking that Django unravels a bit in its last act, while I really don't...

I guess I kinda agree with the structure = off-putting statement, mostly because it "castrates" the characters, but it's still executed well for the most part, and the performances are solid. My...

Re: Jinn's 100 Films of the 2010s

I think I went up and down with Carnage. Liked some bits, didn't care for others. I seem to recall Waltz and Reilly being pretty good, but overall, it didn't stick.

This is another one I'm a fan of. As far as recent comedies go, this has been one of my favorites. Loved the chemistry between Crowe and Gosling, and Angourie Rice was superb.
