CJohn Posted December 26, 2016 Author Share Posted December 26, 2016 Before the 9th place reveal and the break until tomorrow, two more honorable mentions: Zootopia is the animation movie to see in 2016. Driven by the message of equality between everyone, Zootopia is the perfect family movie for kids and their parents, with fantastic voice work from the all star cast and top notch animation. Hopefully everyone got this movie's message, and hopefully it gets the best animation Oscar that it so much deserves. Ignored by the stupid Golden Globes, Kate Beckinsale gives one of the best performances of the year in Love & Friendship. She is a delightfully diabolical manipulative woman that will stop at nothing to get the future she wants. Love & Friendship is incredibly funny, charming and a must see. STAY TUNED FOR MORE INSANE TWISTS AND CRAZY REVEALS NEXT 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The technical aspects were tremendous, but half of the songs are totally forgettable and the regular writing is average at best. Gosling and Stone are good, but neither come close to blowing the socks off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJohn Posted December 26, 2016 Author Share Posted December 26, 2016 9TH PLACE Spoiler LION Lion is two movies actually. I was surprised, but the first half is carried by Sunny Pawar, and that first half is fantastic. He is adorable and gives a great performance as young Saroo. I was expecting 15-20 minutes of setup and the rest in "present day", but nope. The movie takes his time to present us with Saroo's journey until he is adopted by Nicole Kidman's character. Kidman does some great work here, and shows she still got it. Dev Patel continues to show why his Hollywood career keeps going, David Wenham gives a solid secondary performance and Rooney Mara does a good job with what his given to her (she can do no wrong). The 2nd half shows Saroo's journey to find his lost home and how it consumes him, we have some really touching moments in the end, and even some images of the real persons in which the story is based. Hopefully the Oscars give it as much as love as the Globes. What We Said: Nothing, because there isn't even a thread for it, let alone people commenting on it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJohn Posted December 26, 2016 Author Share Posted December 26, 2016 8TH PLACE Spoiler THE CONJURING 2 The scariest experience I have had this year. James Wan gives it all in this sequel that is even better than the original, full of chilling scares and moments full of tension. Wan understands horror, and he understands exactly when to execute a scare and when to build tension. He is a genius, that now is unfortunately stuck with a DC movie. If they ever do a 3rd one, bring back Wan or don't do it at all. What We Said: Ozymandias Quote Enjoyed this a lot. Consistently entertaining, great main child actor, high points are higher than those in the first, and fuck that demon nun face and and the crooked man(hat and cane dude) were creepy as shit. La Binoche Quote There's nothing in this movie we haven't seen before, either in other horror movies or in the previous Conjuring, but James Wan makes it work. He just gets horror. He's a master of long tracking shots, of taking his time toying with us before delivering a great jump scare. Goffe Quote The performances are top notch and Wan is just a master at what he does. Also, I was literally holding my breath in the climax and it gains steam as it goes along, which is a rarity nowadays. Webslinger Quote James Wan still has a terrific sense of how to develop at atmosphere of dread, and the visual and aural artistry of his past films are every bit as evident here as they've ever been. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
