I just saw Pacific Rim. It was silly and a didn't have a deep plot but I'll give it a 7/10 just due to the great action and effects and the titanic monsters.
Rate The Last Movie You Saw
Witness
I have recently heard a lot of good things about this film and wondered how I had never watched it.
I enjoyed it. Ford does really well and although some of the other acting is a bit wooden the plot of the film is decent.
Definitely worth a watch

I'll be rewatching this soon as well. Just gotta force myself to finish the damn 12th HOF and then I'll watch this. Probably this weekend.
and yup it was hard to keep myself motivated this time around.I'm not going to lie, I'd be having a hard time with that lineup in HOF 12. Not much that catches me interest initially.

everything I've heard about it has been terrible. It bombed pretty hard at the box office this past weekend, so I doubt I'll see it in theatres.

I'm just really not liking most of the nominations and it's making me lose my motivation to watch more. The only one I really liked that I hadn't previously seen was Man From Nowhere, and it's probably going to get disqualified since Royale went AWOL.
I only have Sanshiro Sugata left though.

EDIT: and seeing CR's comment it looks like he's included in that chunk as well
The Lodger (1927)
A Jack the ripper type serial killer is on the loose targeting young blond-haired females. When a mysterious figure takes tenancy at her property, a landlady soon suspects that this could be him.
Incredible early Hitchcock that contains recurring theme on innocence and guilt. Tense atmosphere throughout and suspense created like only Hitch can do. For a movie that is now 90 years old its incredible how ahead of its time this was. In particular, the shot of the hand shown on the bannister whilst descending the stairs is out of this world.

for me it was lack of time, this is the first major HOF, the 40's one was excellent (that was my actual first HOF), same with the animated shorts - both I shot through with great choices.
I did know going in there may be some I'd have trouble with, but the payoff for finding new favorites makes it worthwhile.

The best movie of 2016.
Maybe even the decade so far. It's everything.
Go watch this now. It's on Hulu, if you got the service. The quickest and some of the most engrossing, frustrating, fascinating, enraging and tragic 467 minutes put on film. Ever.
10/10
Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs (1937) [rating]4[rating] Another revisit from my childhood, marveling at the details of the backgrounds that I took for granted as a child. And a greater appreciation for the 'presence' of the Queen.
I also kept thinking of Anne Hathaway's portrayal of The White Queen in Alice in Wonderland and her mimicking of Snow White's movements - made me chuckle.

How the f**k I'm alive after this s**t?
Rewach. Can't wait for the Scorsese version.
Directed by Masahiro Shinoda (Pale Flower, Assassination, Samurai Spy)
Does not look like a 1971 film. Beyond of his time!

I had to wait extra long to see this film due to my sh*t schedule.
The original John Wick is one of my favorite action films of all time and one of my favorites in general, but I do have one pretty glaring flaw with it. There are clearly plenty of moments throughout the film were it was clear they were restricted by their budget, it's not their fault in the slightest, but it's kind of hard not to notice. But with a larger budget, they made everything bigger and better. Once again, gorgeous action and stuntwork, fantastic graphic novel-esk world-building, a killer performance from Reeves, and I'm super pumped for Chapter 3 before this one even ends. However, they did do something different, not bad, different. The first film had a simple plot, bad guys do bad things, they must die, but in this film, the do actually go for a bit of a morally grey story line. Personally, I like both of these plots, but I guess it's up to your personal preference weather this is good or not.
And also, the final fight sequence is phenominal, one of the finest sequences in any action film I've ever seen. I can do nothing but praise a film for making me ask, "How on earth did they film that?".
