I still think Pontypool would work much better as an audio drama then a movie.
I heard that was actually the original plan. They were going to just read the script with a wavering line being the only visual. Probably would have worked just as well!
A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night: 6/10 I agree with. Had aspects I liked such as the b/w photography, soundtrack, and fresh idea about vampire wearing a headdress, but I think it shows in the uneven storytelling it was a debut feature.
Agreed. Loved the aesthetics but felt the story and pacing could use some work.
Some good titles there. Sicario was my favorite movie out of the ones you listed. Destiny monopolized my gaming hours. November has been much more wide open though.
Destiny was the first game I played when I got my PS4 a couple months ago. It was pretty much all I played for a good couple weeks, haha. Crazy how much stuff there is to do in that game. This month it has been all about Fallout 4.
My gosh, Fallout 4 is eating all of my gaming time. I have hit the 50 hour mark today. Soooo good.
Wow! I’m about 30 hours in and feel like I have barely scratched the surface. I think I’ll be playing this for a loooooong time.
Great stuff. I really like The Martian and Cop Car as well. And Sicario will definitely be in my Top 10 of the year.
Thanks man. Sicario was freakin’ intense! So glad I was able to catch that in the theater.
You’re steam rolling through Justified – it’s great! Season 5 was definitely a dip in quality, for me, but saying that, it’s still one of the most solid TV shows I’ve seen.
Finally finished it a couple weeks ago! The final season was a good return to form, loved Boyd’s arc in that one. Pretty satisfying finale, too.
Now I’m trying to figure out what show to watch next. Started the US version of Shameless — it’s good, but it hasn’t caught my interest enough to want to see it through yet. Two episodes into Daredevil, and I’m liking that quite a bit more than I expected. I’ll probably just stick with that for now.
Yeah, the final season was brilliant. One of the most satisfying final seasons of any TV show I’ve seen.
Have you tried Manhattan, or The Knick? Two of my favourite shows at the moment.
I haven’t seen either. Heard good things about The Knick, and I noticed that it’s on HBO Go now so I may have to give that a shot soon. Not familiar with Manhattan at all, but now you’ve got me curious!
Manhattan’s great – up there as one of my favourite TV shows currently on air. Great characters and a great story.
I don’t know what I should say about ABC’s Of Death 2. Weird film to say the least
Oh no doubt. It was really hit or miss and kind of hard to sit through at times, but it had its moments.
Awesome list! Loved Cop Car and Goodnight Mommy. Gave both good reviews. Nice work!
Thanks! Two underrated flicks from last year for sure.
