I was pleasantly surprised to discover that Tarantino has delivered us his first murder mystery. With echoes of "And Then There Were None" to complement Tarantino's trademark style, this was a thoroughly enjoyable (if slightly long) addition to his filmography.

The Revenant 2015
While Innaritu is able to get out of his own way unlike THAT OTHER MOVIE, "The Revenant" is still a little too long, a little too poorly plotted and a lot too self-indulgent.
DiCaprio (give him the Oscar), Hardy (one of 2015's best baddies), Poulter (Nicholson eyebrows and all) and Gleeson (needs to act in everything) kept me engaged and interested throughout this movie's dubious run-time.

Frost/Nixon 2008
A powerful, stirring masterclass of acting. As Ron Howard's most polished work, this movie is an extremely underrated surveyal of politics, image, legacy and integrity. Langella gives perhaps the best "based on a real character" performance of all time.

At the end of the day, my love for this movie comes down to two things. Jack Nicholson and the production design.

Jane Got a Gun 2015
With this flick, Gavin O'Connor has joined a group of directors of whom I will see their new movie no matter what.
He piqued my curiosity with MIRACLE, validated it with WARRIOR and now with this movie, he's really driven it home for me that he is not one to be overlooked.
With JANE GOT A GUN, O'Connor is able to come out with (assisted by an excellent screenplay from Edgerton) an excellent female empowered western. Both elements that stand…

The Dark Knight Rises 2012
Some things are good. Some are great. Some aren't very groovy at all. But this is Batman so who cares.

National Treasure 2004
Silly, bombastic, ridiculous, fun, on-the-run, mystery, adventure feat. Nicolas Cage.
If you actively dislike this movie, may god have mercy on your soul.
