The Hobbit: Five Armies.
LOVE the LOTR movies, one of the best series ever. This was no different. The Orc battle was some AMAZING special effects and cinematography for any movie, but especially this series.

Battlefield Earth. Masterpiece. Amazing piece of cinema with stellar visual effects and breath taking cinematography. Travolta nails the role and I'm surprised he didn't get an oscar! The story was both heartfelt, extremely intelligent, and action packed. 10/10 and would definitely recommend!

Sanjuro- 4.5/5
Beginning in Yojimbo, Sanjuro staunchly positioned himself as one of cinema’s most enigmatic, adrenaline-charged characters. Sanjuro is brilliantly paced and rife with thrilling action. This film has one of the most chilling, gory deaths of its decade and preceding decades I have ever seen. Kurosawa, as expected, exemplifies a command of action and a knack for propelling the story through emotional scenes of dialogue and elevated performances.

A most Violent year
1 of 5
Over all the movie was ok. What really ticked me off is that with a name like A Most Violent Year, there is no violence in the movie. The whole film is about how some dudes are messing with an oil company owner. The entire movie I was thinking the killing would start but it never does.

The Poseidon Adventure 2.5 / 5 Six months ago I DVRed The Poseidon Adventure, which aired on TCM. I’ll admit, my knowledge of the film chiefly came from the contemptible 2005 remake, succinctly titled Poseidon. But the plot as intriguing enough that I had to give it a go. Plus, who doesn’t enjoy a sprinkle of Gene Hackman from time to time? He’s like that cinnamon shaker in your cabinet: you forget it’s there, but when you remember, it tastes so good. Anyway, I finally scrolled to the bottom of my DVR list where the procrastinated and guilty pleasures reside, and I settled in for some aquatic suffering, only I didn’t expect to be the one suffering. The film takes place on a massive cruise liner, “a hotel with a bow and a stern,” which is making its voyage to Athens. Its destination has no bearing on the film, but the filmmakers told me, so I felt I should tell you. But that underscores my feelings concerning the first quarter of the movie. The opening twenty minutes is a labored mess overflowing with contrived dialogue. There is a particular scene between Rogo (Ernest Borgnine) and Linda (Stella Stevens) in which the newlyweds are fighting about her one-time outing as a prostitute. The scene lugs, chugs, and is so stilted that I felt awkward for the two actors. Unfortunately the entire beginning is overflowing with artificial, tortuous scenes that do nothing but foreshadow each characters’ assumed clichéd roles for when the bottom, literally, drops out. I felt like it was going to take me another six months to get through the hackneyed first twenty minutes of the movie. There is, however, a bit of redemption when a wall of water from an earthquake finally careens the ship, capsizing it and freeing the audience from the worst of the movie’s torment. The hull of the ship becomes a tempest of human bodies, grand pianos, and fine china. Skewed camera angles, solid editing, and a good bit of creativity make this scene the movie’s most entertaining sequence. After the debris settles, the cast is quickly trimmed of the redshirts (see Star Trek reference), and we’re left with a band of character actors. Reverend Scott (Gene Hackman) decides to head for engine room because the steel is conveniently only one inch thick, opposed to two everywhere else. Everyone blindly follows Scott except for the dogged Rogo, who predictably butts heads with the reverend throughout the movie. As the characters move through the ship, each deck presents the group with a new trial to overcome. And each time the gang must rely on blind faith that the Preacher is leading them to safety and, what I can assume, sanctity. And that leads me to the film’s faith underpinnings. The faith-centric theme is pushy to the point it’s distracting. In the initial part of the film, Scott reveals his own reservations and his own interpretation of faith, and we know the events ahead will be a test. And they are. It all ends with an unsurprising showdown between our protagonist and his faith. I don’t mind religious allegory, I just prefer it tucked away waiting to be learned rather than forced. All the film’s flaws aside, it does present an effective claustrophobic atmosphere. The dark, dank corridors begin to weigh on the audience as much as they do on the actors. You develop a desire for a glimpse of the sky or at least peek out of a porthole. And something must be said of British director Ronald Neame who demonstrates skillful use of the camera by employing a persistent rocking motion throughout his movie. It’s a constant reminder of impending aquatic death and isolation. I am not disappointed I watched The Poseidon Adventure, but I have no desire to watch it again. Gene Hackman yelling at God and Ernest Borgnine’s line, “Had a lot of guts, lady, a lot of guts,” made the film worth it. But I’m more thankful for the eight-percent of freed DVR space.

ClownNot bad really. Pretty well done apart from a few things. Worth a watch. BlackfishMan this documentary really got to me. Sad stuff. The Class of '92One of my favourite sporting documentaries. Excellent stuff, and I'm not even a Manchester United fan. West of MemphisAnother documentary I'd highly recommend. Very well done and a case I've been fascinated with for years.

It Follows (2015)
It Follows is a supernatural horror film about a girl who is pursued by an entity after a sexual encounter. The only way she can rid herself of the being is by passing it onto someone else via intercourse. If that person is killed, it comes back for her and goes down the line until it reaches the person that started it all.
It is creative and original, and works on multiple levels. It features beautifully shot cinematography that is stunningly atmospheric. And the score is made by a synthesizer, giving it a vintage 80's sound that strikes you with lingering anxiety.
My belief is that there is also an underlying message being told about promiscuity, sexually transmitted diseases, and the AIDS epidemic.
It Follows is a rare gem, and gets a high recommendation from me.
