This list also goes by US release dates, but it includes limited releases, which Children of men had in 2006. Last King of Scotland looks like it should be fine on this list though.

LAST KING OF SCOTLAND is actually weird in that IMDB is completely wrong -- it was released in the US in Sept 2006 (according to BoxOfficeMojo). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goffe Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 (edited) Before the Devil Knows You're Dead: It's fun seeing all these actors on screen, but I didn't think it was much more than that. 7/10 [REC]: There isn't much to it and the characters are dumb as hell. Plus, add that to the fact most of the time you can barely see what's going on because the cameraman is having epilepsy (or at feels like it), which brings me to the point of how frustrating it is when the technique calls attention to itself by having the characters yelling the cameraman to back off or shut down his recording device. As someone who rarely complains about the found footage style, here it was more irritating than effective. 3/10 3:10 to Yuma: I kept thinking 'I wish Christian Bale was in more movies', and that was about the biggest reaction the movie elicited from me. 6/10 The Orphanage: Bayona is not one of those directors who can elevate the material, exactly what this movie desperately needed. Felt like I had seen the same movie a million times, and done better, too. 5/10 Trick r Treat: Predictable and boring. Yet another example that horror anthologies are no good at all. 4/10 The Host: Now, that's a fantastic film. 9/10 Edited March 1, 2017 by Goffe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goffe Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 (edited) Teeth 8/10 Gone Baby Gone: Kinda loses me when the detectives' convoluted plan start to take center stage and I don't know if I agree with the choice Affleck makes at the end, although that wouldn't have been necessary (me agreeing with the protagonist) if he hadn't been so moralizing about it. 7/10 Lust, Caution: Ang Lee doing his thing. 8/10 Away from Her: Going by the trailer I thought this had enormous potential to go wrong, so I looked up the director's resume, which included the excellent doc Stories We Tell, and based on that I gave it a shot. Great fucking choice. The shot in the dinner room where it is shown relatives socializing with their loved ones, then going away one by one, leaving the nursing home residents contemplating their loneliness broke me. 9/10 Atonement: It did very little for me despite Wright technical expertise. Strong ending, though. 6/10 Edited March 1, 2017 by Goffe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aabattery Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Atonement is one the movies I had to watch for English class and as a result I don't like it very much. Watching movies in chunks with the teacher pausing it and pointing out things they know nothing about is probably the worst way to watch a movie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dementeleus Posted March 1, 2017 Author Share Posted March 1, 2017 ATONEMENT is pretty bad on most levels, though the cinematography is nice. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aabattery Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 One of the other movies that was kind of ruined for me by English class was Gallipoli, which is probably scandalous to say given some members thoughts on Peter Weir. Highly enjoyed the techno music in it though. That was a good laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goffe Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Use of sound was pretty cool as well. The way ambient noises were incorporated into the music was tremendous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narniadis Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I will forever Stan for Atonement.... ten years on and it still has yet to be bumped from my top spot for 07. Watched Persepolis last night - great film. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
