4815162342 Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Shit. You guys watch A LOT of movies...For myself I catch up on the majority via Netflix.@Jake: I only would give 3 films this year an "A" grade (Flight, Argo, The Grey) from what I've seen so far. I thought Flight's character focus and slow burn style worked very well, plus Denzel acted the shit out of the movie without having a real "gimme Oscar" scene.

Jake Gittes Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 I liked Flight and loved Denzel's performance (although I thought by far the best scene in the movie belonged to James Badge Dale), but I didn't think Zemeckis' dramatic touch was completely suited to this material - a character study centered on an addict I think should be more subtle than Flight was in a lot of places, especially the two final scenes, and John Goodman turning up twice with "Sympathy of the Devil" blaring in the background was like from a completely different movie. But I liked that Zemeckis threw himself into some pretty R-rated material (look at the opening scene alone) in a totally no-nonsense way, and the movie went by fast enough to let everyone know he's still got it as a filmmaker. Not a perfect movie, but easily a better film than any of his motion capture exercises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4815162342 Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 (edited) I didn't mind the music cues. Sure they were on-the-nose in a few instances but even so they still worked.There were only three ways Flight could have ended and while Zemeckis chose the happiest of the three possibilities I think adequate foreshadowing was laid in the scene where Denzel visits the hangar holding the wreckage and is first told about the two liquor bottles in the trash and the tox screen results for the other crew members.

Hatebox Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 (edited) I don't know about best movie, but Skyfall gets my vote for best blockbuster. TDKR was too messy and TA was too forgettable.EDIT - actually, Shame is the best film of 2012, and I can say that because it was only released in the UK last February. Killer Joe and Holy Motors also get honourable mentions. Edited December 6, 2012 by Hatebox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BK007 Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 (edited) Given the following ranks do you think I'll like Argo, Cloud Atlas, Flight, Life of Pi and Silver Linings Playbook? Those four films are released around the same time on Blu-Ray and I have the $5 off $25 Amazon voucher. Since I am unable to watch any of these before the 9th (when the voucher expires) I thought I might ask you lot. The three divisions are liked, worth a watch and not worth watching with those at the boundaries being a bit of both. 1. Moonrise Kingdom 2. The Perks of Being a Wallflower 3. The Amazing Spider Man 3. The Avengers 3. Brave 6. The Bourne Legacy 6. Rise of the Guardians 8. The Pirates! Band of Misfits 9. The Grey 10. The Hunger Games 10. Skyfall 12. 21 Jump Street 12.
