Good heist film.

Classic Pacino.

An okay Tim Burton film. I felt like it could have been funnier. 

A pretty standard but entertaining 'couple of old farts' comedy. 

I'd not heard of this until recently. I consider it a gem. 

Good horror movie.

I think The Descent is a great horror movie but I dislike it's ending. I'd hoped this sequel would fix that but it kinda leaves the ending of the first one unresolved and has the main character out of the caves for real (whereas the first movie showed it as a dream all of a sudden) with no explanation. Overall it's a rehash of the first movie in almost every way but they got the same kind of tension right at least. 

I was a little worried over the removal of Emily Blunt as the first film's protagonist in this and the change in director as well, but it turned out to be a great action movie in its own right. 

Brilliant from start to finish. 

This satirises the hell out of the social media generation A.K.A. the kind of people I find ridiculous (which is why I watched it - I'd avoid a movie about people like this and is all #this and #that otherwise). While not as outright amusing as I was hoping, the movie works well as a psychological film. In truth, it's more amusing that RYM has voted down psychological drama as the film's primary genre, which I guess means most people seeing this film consider the dubious protagonist's behaviour as normal. That really fucking worries me. 

Another great Al Pacino crime film, though this time playing a good guy. 

I was actually surprised by how comedic this seemed. I was expecting it to come across as much more serious. 

 

It's better than the first Wolverine solo film IMO, but Logan is the only excellent one. 

 

A disturbing drama. 

An underrated movie IMO, a darkly comic psychological drama. 

Brilliant early revisionist western.

Also brilliant 60's neo-western.
