Re: Rate The Last Movie You Saw

No Deadpool ratings? I'm shocked. I'll try to have one up tomorrow as well as A Most Violent Year, Antman, Bridge Of Spies, and Infinitely Polar Bear.

Re: Rate The Last Movie You Saw

Out of all the Disney Pixar films, this one is my favorite. Wall-E and The Incredibles are tied for second. I'll have to watch both again sometime to figure who wins. Looking forward to that.

Nightcrawler-4

Though it could've used a score that would better fit the tone, Nightcrawler is a dark, thrilling examination of greed and ambition. Oh and that Gyllenhal guy was ok I guess.
