And I still have to watch Roma, You Were Never Really Here, The Sisters Brothers, Searching, and Widows, but so far, my list would be the following (no order): 1. Thoroughbreds 2. Annihilation That’s it. Once I watch the ones above I mentioned, I can finish it up. But if those disappoint, then my Top 5 will become a Top 2.

Literally can't think of a movie from 2018 that really stands out to me. I watched Bad Times at the El Royale last night. I'd give it a 7.5/10. I always seem to like movies that show the same thing/timeline from different perspectives. This one just dragged on about 30-45 minutes too long and then somehow felt rushed in parts.

Leaning towards Suspiria being my favorite of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little two hour film, that contains 6 short stories in the old west; neither of which are related to each other in any way, shape, or form. Not the best Coen Bros outing, but not the worst; and certainly not the least enjoyable. The only short story that was a bit of a letdown was the last one. However, even that had its moments, like the philosophical debate between the trapper and the elderly woman. The two best, in my opinion, are The Meal Ticket (Liam Neeson and the guy who played Dudley in the Harry Potter films) and The Prospector (Tom Waits). All enjoyable, but those were the best ones. Worth watching, because it’s the Coen Bros. Just finished. Overall very good but not great movie. Agree with the two best ones. Particularly Meal Ticket, which I found mesmerizing. Both that and All Gold Canyon (prospector) had such vivid storytelling, with so few words (outside of the repeated narrative performances, and the singing) and actors (total of 6 credited actors between the two of them, and 2 of those had mere seconds of screen time). The opening one (same title as the movie) was pretty funny, but was so absurd, and was such an extreme contrast to everything else. Near Algodones was sort of 'meh', except for Steven Root's awesome bank teller. The Gal Who Got Rattled (the 2nd last one, and by far the longest) was my least favorite...it really dragged, but at least it ended well. The Mortal Remains was so-so, but it tied up central theme well. Edited December 24, 2018 by D-Money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 A Simple Favor Positive: Paul Feig proving that, when he’s not writing a film, that he’s a capable director (as his movies are terrible) Negative: The movie sucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Angels with Dirty Faces (1938) Perfect film. Must, must see. Watch it. That’s all. ————————— Searching Usually films with a gimmick, like this one, crash and burn in quality. But it was really well done. Not sure if it was filmed like a conventional movie if it would have been better or not. Either way, it was well done and worth watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh...it's an awful character (Aquaman)...movie was as good as you can expect from a low rent ripoff of the Marvel character Sub Mariner. Not great but not Justice League awful.

The tone, writing, acting, directing, it honestly reminded me of the Star Wars prequels. Nothing made sense. If you had told me it was written by a 13 year old, and directed by a 22 year old, it would have made sense why it turned into a complete mess. They spent $3M to turn this into this That decision was made by a movie studio that employs thousands of people for ONE movie, and hundreds of millions of dollars in making and marketing a movie, in order to make a billion dollars. That’s why, among all the problems with the film, it deserves the Red Letter Media Plinkett Review. It’s such a mess. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
