Couldn't say the same about Rapsittie. I can tell you that I was not in a sound mental state when I wrote it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezen Baklattan Posted October 13, 2019 Author Share Posted October 13, 2019 The Line Break Award for Honorable Mentions Like my Tony Yacenda project, these five films were THIS close to making it this year, but just missed the mark. I will comment that one film here received a B-, but the others received a B/B-. Do the thing, Ben.

Have a Snoopy hug. This is on the condition that a third one doesn't get made, otherwise the Snoopy hug will be rescinded. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ezen Baklattan Posted October 13, 2019 Author Share Posted October 13, 2019 6-25 will be revealed in a completely random order. Pay attention to numbers. Let's begin. 14. Spoiler Voicemail Thrilling and thought-provoking, Morena Baccarin really carries this piece and makes it something deeper. The ending isn't perfect, but some discussion I had with Xillix helped a good bit. 22. Spoiler Little Black Bugs Rorschach are you okay 25. Spoiler The Ancient Magus Bride and the King of Cats The film's odd structure doesn't really help the film, but it's still a fascinating world that has been fun to explore so far. As iffy as the main relationship is, both Elias and Chise are fun characters to watch. 24. Spoiler The Girlfriend Hoax The wildest, most fun documentary of the year. 18. Spoiler Pokemon: The Cinnabar Conspiracy A fun and exciting finale to a fun and exciting franchise! I've never been HUGE into numbers' Pokemon films but this might be the best one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiler Okay I should clarify because I was drunk and feeling kinda weird and anxious the day I wrote it. I'm pretty sure it was mainly the alcohol talking, lol, but I've been a bit up and down all year. I wouldn't say it's a place of depression. More like my mind just kinda being all over the place. Not trying to rescind the hug, just don't want to make it sound worse than it was. Sorry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ezen Baklattan Posted October 13, 2019 Author Share Posted October 13, 2019 10. Spoiler Chuck Norris and Liam Neeson vs. the Current Hollywood Landscape Michelle Haywood really ought to sue, but she's totes cool with this. 16. Spoiler Shiverin' Gulch Just as fun in this iteration as it was last time. Hal feels a bit less compelling th but Susan Burlap is an iconic heroine. 13. Spoiler Plus One A funny, charming romcom that makes great use of its two leads and feels sweet and genuine, even making cliches feel that way. 9. Spoiler Hired Guns That's right, you get double driver. This was a damn fun western and one of the most exciting films of the year. Pascal might be the MVP, though. He's so into his mayhem. 12. Spoiler The Trapped Keeper 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezen Baklattan Posted October 13, 2019 Author Share Posted October 13, 2019 6. Spoiler Children of Eden Visually, emotionally, and cerebrally stunning. Definitely one of the strongest films of the yea.r 21. Spoiler In the Aeroplane Over the Sea For all its flaws, it's a unique feature that's both thought provoking and, for the most part, well crafted. 15. Spoiler Mass Effect: Ascension A well crafted, thrilling, and engaging space adventure with a unique flavor to set it apart from other space operas in the game. I did like the first a bit more, admittedly. 8. Spoiler The Last Policeman An effective, intense mystery that solves its core plot but invites us into a darker, more fascinating world. I can't wait to see how this story continues. 11. Spoiler Fiesta Loca High energy and infectiously enjoyable, even if some of its elements feel a bit superfluous. It's a fun and engaging little movie that I look forward to revisiting every October. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezen Baklattan Posted October 13, 2019 Author Share Posted October 13, 2019 7. Spoiler Borrasca I wish there was room for this (And Children of Eden) in my top 5, but this was damn good stuff, even if the ending isn't quite perfect once you get past the initial shock. 23. Spoiler The Power of Love A fun premise solidly executed. Not bad for a January flick! 17. Spoiler Lumberjanes: Secret of the Eye 20. Spoiler I don't usually like to do ties but I messed up so here you go. Blankments and EGK both wrote some fun comedies this year. They're both 20! The Thin, The Phat, and the Felon Jeremy Renner Presents.... THE APP: The Jeremy Renner App: The Movie 19. Spoiler Super Mario Bros. The bloated second half kind of hampers the film, but it's still a fun ride with some very strong qualities! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ezen Baklattan Posted October 14, 2019 Author Share Posted October 14, 2019 Okay so Gateways, Most Wanted Man, Borrasca, and Children of Eden aren't number one, so what is? This is actually a film I pre-read as an outline, one that I liked a good bit, as i kept thinking about it and watching it come together in its finished form, more of the pieces came together in this wild, sweet, progressive, hilarious, soulful, and genuinely joyous little surprise. It's something that's kept growing on my mind, and I wanted to recognize it by making it my number one film of the year. Without further ado... 1.
