Still leaving us puzzwled as to what is snubbed

[CoolioD1]

i watched the fincher girl with the dragon tattoo with my parents. was at home. my mum walked out during the first rape scene and then came back in 15 minutes later to tell me how disgusting i was that i kept watching it.

[AniNate]

I'm guessing Dory got shafted. I know it has its detractors, but it's certainly a hell of a lot better than that toxic waste near the bottom of the list.

WHO WATCHES DEADPOOL WITH THEIR MOTHER

 

My mother usually has the movie tastes of a 12 year old boy.  CGI and violence are her wheelhouse.  But like Mad Max Fury Road she wasn't having it.   She said if she wanted to watch something this stupid she has the Sharknados  (which yes she finds funny).

It was clear when it didn't show up into the first ten spots that it wasn't going to be here

My mom couldn't get over Rooney Mara's look and gave up, roughly around the rape scene.

Spoiler

Hell or High Water

 

 

 

 

 

One of my favorite movies of the year. A pretty much modern day western with some really good performances. Jeff Bridges is still stuck playing Rooster Cogburn though.

 

 

USER REVIEWS:

 

Texas is very much an actual character in Hell or High Water, a modern day Western that is rooted in the economic trials and tribulations of Rural America that comes as a relief after a summer mostly filled with disappointing sequels and action movies. Screenwriter Taylor Sheridan is really starting to build a name for himself between this and the also-terrific Sicario. The movie is a slowburner that keeps us invested throughout due to the attention to its characters. The acting is top-notch: Jeff Bridges is in fine form as always (that scene between him, Gil Birmingham, and the old waitress: ), while Chris Pine and Ben Foster are also excellent (Pine in particular gives a career-best performance). Sure, we've seen this kind of movie many, many times before, but rarely have they been executed this well. A-

The final scene between Pine and Bridges is probably best of the year for me.

 

It's like a climax and epilogue in one and the acting is pitch perfect from both. It's incredible how tense it feels, despite the fact that it's 'over.'

 

I've always liked Chris Pine, as in, he's better than his pretty boy looks suggest, but here, he outdoes himself. He's got a certain weariness, a yearning to be done with everything that that really shows throughout, and that's not something every actor can express through their body language.
