10/10

Once again my rating is spot on

I'm good

Logan, exceptional. Best of the wolverine series, hell best of the Xmen series

One of the most emotional films of all time.

Ladies and gentleman, we have a winner in best film of the century

Jackie. 4/10

I knew it was going to be dull but wasn't expecting it to be that soporific.

The script was completely cringeworthy and overdramatic and the film was historically inaccurate; Jackie's deportment and actions following the assassination were completely wrong.

Natalie didn't deserve an Oscar nomination.

Zodiac: 8.5 - Great cast and captures the 70s well. Arguably Fincher's best.

Blood Simple: 8 - A little dated but still.

E.T.: 6 - Haven't seen it for almost 20 years, didn't like it as a kid. Probably why I don't like Sci-Fis now.

WNTTAK: 7 - Bleak subject matter but solid enough to watch once.

Haven't seen Royal Tenenbaums.

Ex Machina 6/10

Seemed like one of those boring stuff films but got better towards the end. Predictable but nudity saved it

Thanks guys for the ratings.

@ Vava

I'd probably say Gone Girl is Fincher's best. Because I don't think any other director would have handled and executed it as perfectly as David did. Maybe Lynch would have made it a surreal classic, but yeah.

These materials like Gone Girl, Girl on the Train, Dark Places, etc. require a certain style of crafting. Precisely why GG was great; yet, GOtT and DP were very average.

Hunt For The Wilderpeople 10/10

Little known film over here but massive in New Zealand where my brother lives. He recommended it to me and I do so to others

Loved it

Doubtful.

That and On The Waterfront are the best movies I've seen.
