4815162342 Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 I refer you to the disclaimer Eh, that disclaimer makes the whole list seem less honest since you're saying "I actually thought this film wasn't as good as these several others, but for arbitrary reasons I will now rank it above them."

riczhang Posted November 18, 2012 Author Share Posted November 18, 2012 (edited) Eh, that disclaimer makes the whole list seem less honest since you're saying "I actually thought this film wasn't as good as these several others, but for arbitrary reasons I will now rank it above them."I'll say that only one main movie was bumped up because of this because it's the type of movie I really love but didn't want to rave about it in my review. I tried not to go against my scores though.It's also a matter of the score I give films is more of a how well the film is made, plot, acting and etc. wise. My Top 25 this year is more of a personal enjoyment list, what I'd enjoy more watching. Edited November 18, 2012 by riczhang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riczhang Posted November 18, 2012 Author Share Posted November 18, 2012 One film's score has been adjusted up because I revisited the film when compiling my top 25 and liked it quite a bit more than I initially did. No rankings change though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Creator Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 I don't understand where this "long" talk comes from. The film is 10,000 words long for one thing, so there's a lot of substance in there. Toward the end I just stopped dragging out the scenes as much, but they make up a good bulk. Lots of action sequences abound throughout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of action sequences abound throughout.I honestly don't know. I normally read each movie in 1 go, so 10 000 words was on the outer limits of what I could get through in one go. But, the movie itself I didn't feel like it was long. It could've been shortened and trimmed sure, but it wasn't long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blankments Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Very pleasantly surprised by the placings of OFK and Bernarda Alba, especially the latter since it was quickly written by me the day before the deadline. Also, Dogs at #6, so my hope for an Oscar contender isn't totally dead yet!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's bound to be brilliantly done and the plot of the film really fits what he does really well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
