Ethan needs things clearly defined. Neat and tidy.

Kingsman is pretty high on my NOPE NOT WATCHING THAT-list.

I liked Grandma a lot. I thought it was really strong all around. I liked Sam Elliot's work in particular.

[Chewy]

Fantastic Four, Blackhat, #mortdecai, Aloha, Terminator

 

Lot of contenders for worst of the year. Actively avoided Pixels so not sure if that one qualifies but I bet it does

your loss

Unfriended came to my town this weekend, really liked it. The gimmick (and it is a gimmick) actually works, I was pretty much hooked from the start. It's super cynical and grim too, so I'm not surprised it didn't do so great at the box office. 

 

Also it's not so much about jump scares or gore, but the way these characters destroy themselves and their relationships with each other as their terrible secrets get revealed.

Oh, you know what the worst movie of the year was? The Loft. Horrendous

lmao you saw that? Is it funny-bad?

I completely forgot The Loft was a thing released wide into theaters this year.

I think the truth here is that you like to kill dogs

Let me guess: because the dude f*cked your Scandinavian princess in the bum??

Lava is the worst Pixar or Disney short in quite some time. Horrible idea and execution, it found just how far anthropomorphization can go before it is rejected by audiences.

I agree. It lacked either humor or charm, and without either a cartoon short is going to  suck bigtime. LAVA did.

Disney had better damn well hope it has it South Pacfic/Polyneisan act together with "Moana".

Jack just reminded me that Unfriended exists. That is right up there in contention for worst of the year.

Kingsman has a lot less balls than it pretends to. Like that scene where

Colin Forth massacres a church

, it's staged to look like the coolest thing ever and I was like, holy shit, did the movie actually dare to go there and commit to it? And minutes later we learn that of course not, he was just made to do that by the villain. In the end it's a pretty standard action movie, just with some mocking Bond references, exploding heads and attempted deconstructions of the "action hero should be rewarded with a woman to be his fuckdoll after saving the world" trope. Which, yeah, makes it more memorable and distinctive than standard straight-faced action fare, but everyone around me acted like it was some kind of an amazing revelation.

I still need to see Unfriended. It never came out here but I was always curious about it and reviews were good.

[Jack Nevada]

Rank 2015 horror movies:

 

1. Crimson Peak

2. Unfriended

3. It Follows

4. Sinister 2

5. Poltergeist (sucks, terrible)

 

Waiting for The Gift, skipped The Visit. 

[Jake Gittes]

And yeah Unfriended is legitimately good. Not scary in the least, but it's misanthropic fun that exploits its gimmick in really smart and fascinating ways. You could argue it's the most unique movie of the year.

I found it scary in parts. But as I said, it had me hooked. It's more thrilling than scary, if that makes sense. And yes, I was actually surprised how mean-spirited it gets.

 

I also think it actually warrants that last minute jump scare because it makes sense here (with the laptop gimmick and all)

[Chewy]

Did anyone here see that Vince Vaughn/Dave Franco movie? Bet that's up there too
