There is a gap between Snowpiercer and Joe, quality-wise. Still a bunch of stuff I didn't get to see. Manakamana, Palo Alto, Night Moves, We Are the Best!, etc.

4. The Raid 2
5. Under the Skin
6. Edge of Tomorrow
7. Enemy
8. Snowpiercer
9. Captain America: The Winter Soldier
10. Noah

I'd nominate Robocop for most underrated release, and the Lord/Miller joints for most overrated. The best match cut belongs to Grand Piano.

Pretty sure it was given qualifying runs last year.Yeah, even though he's technically right about the 2014 release date, the critical community seems to have largely deemed it a 2013 release. If I took it off the list (which I'll probably do with later list updates), the #10 spot could be Cheap Thrills, X-Men: Days of Future Past, or Blue Ruin.

Well, I'd be all for including it this year on a technicality. The dub is legit. And hardly anybody saw it last year before the Matchies, including me - and I totally would have nominated it for everything if I had.

Ditto; was caught off guard by how weird it was.

I was caught off guard by Frances Ford Fucking Coppola sitting two rows behind me and then Emma Roberts sitting right next to me half way through the movie. Fun times at film festivals. I also missed the train so missed the first ten minutes or so of the film. I sorta liked what I saw even if it seemed practically ghost directed by Gia Coppola's aunt Sofia (and a smattering of Gus Van Sant).

Low ratings for Non-Stop, Peng. Any thoughts on how it fits with the rest of Neeson's early year films? I rather like his entries into the crappier months of film release, since they're usually competent if not ever really revelatory.

My list so far:

Ida - 8.5
Only Lovers Left Alive – 8.5
Stranger by the Lake – 8.5
The Grand Budapest Hotel - 8
Boyhood - 7.5
Under the Skin - 7.5
It Felt Like Love - 7.5
Whiplash - 7
Edge of Tomorrow - 7
Listen Up Philip - 7

Manakamana - 7
The Babadook - 7
Dear White People - 7
We are the Best - 7
Snowpiercer – 6.5
The Immigrant - 6.5
Inherent Vice - 6.5
Nymphomaniac: Part 1 - 6.5
The One I Love - 6
The Lego Movie - 6
Gone Girl - 6
Interstellar - 6
Guardians of the Galaxy -6
Birdman - 6
Veronica Mars: The Movie – 6
X-Men: Days of Future Past - 6
They Came Together - 5.5
The Fault in Our Stars – 5.5
Godzilla (2014) - 5
Noah - 5
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 - 4.5

I still mildly liked it; score would be 6/10. I think it fits well with other Neeson vehicles (save for Taken 2 and The Grey that I haven't seen), which all have a bit of melancholy from his performances to ground the ridiculousness. Non-Stop is no different. Very sensationally directed, but being a closed-space mystery sometimes makes the logic harder to swallow than usual, especially early on. Still fun though.

I thought it was good. Better than you would expect, given the premise, with some real legit tension throughout, but it is a bit forgettable after the fact.

The Grey was better, though, but this was far better than, say, Unknown.

I also thought it was good. Better than Unknown, Taken/Grey still at the top. Taken 2 at the bottom.

Boyhood (Linklater)
The Lego Movie (Lord/Miller)
Noah (Aronofsky)
The Grand Budapest Hotel (Anderson)
Under The Skin (Glazer)
Jodorowsky's Dune (Pavich)
The Double (Ayoade)
The Wind Rises (Miyazaki)
Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes (Reeves)
Joe (Green)

Very rough order that's definitely going to change, especially since I tend to re-watch stuff I like as much as most things up there (and in Lego's case, I definitely already have), and also the range of time between seeing some of those goes from having just seen Boyhood last night to it now being nearly a year since I saw Under The Skin and The Wind Rises.

Pretty excellent year so far. One of the best years for summer blockbusters. Also a great year for science fiction. A perfect mix of small and tentpole films.

I don't know what else I need to see that's out there. I usually use Boner's list as frame of reference for recommendations.

Definitely a masterpiece.

I thought it fell apart in its second half, but that first half was something special. A great exploration of two conflicting ways of coping with the horrors of the world.

No, no, your communication was clear. I was just taking the opportunity to state my opinion of the show. As for the issue of whether tv shows should be ranked together with movies, I can't see any good reason not to, at least when the tv show is a clearly self-contained story rather than an ongoing serial.

Thought experiment: how do we think it would play on the bit screen? I'd probably go see it. Hummus, I don't know if I can do it. It would possibly break the top three. I really loved it.

I have a hard time justifying separating Nymphomaniac vol. 1 from vol. 2 and the ending of 2 was shitty enough to sink the previous five hours.

This is the reason why I'm hesitating to watch it. Trier's endings are so damn divisive and can easily corrupt otherwise brilliant films. Conversely, it can also make them great (Breaking the Waves).

I don't know if it's that I'm getting older, or my family or work or what, but I've seen only 8 films this year, and I also feel like I've seen everything that I've wanted to outside of a couple that I'm just waiting on DVD(Guardians of the Galaxy), or haven't gotten to yet (Mockingjay 1). We've even rented a couple that I didn't bother watching (Captain America, X-Men) because I wasn't in the mood when the wife popped them in. I think I'm only hanging out in Match-Cut for the off topic conversations at this point :(

The Bad Guy

12-02-2014, 05:06 PM

It's interesting to me that Under The Skin is (at least going by these results) the most beloved film of 2014 on Match Cut. I certainly enjoyed it, but I had it ranked much higher early in the year. A lot of great stuff has come out in the past few months that has overtaken it for me. It's currently no longer in my top ten.

I'm curious to see what some lists will look like in January.

I was actually very impressed with Rock's last effort, I Think I Love My Wife. This looks like Rock being even more comfortable with telling a story, and taking out an uncomfortable love story that he definitely struggled with. I have high expectations honestly.

Been a long time since I updated, though not much changed. Just shuffled a bit. I plan on doing some 2014 catch-up (and maybe even a bit of rewatching) soon so we'll see what happens. I'm still missing quite a bit (and the Anderson in particular needs a second look) so this could change radically.

I feel bad that I've pretty much disconnected from the forum in the last year. Then again, 2014 was a pretty transformative year for me. I finally started taking care of myself because I was getting worried about where my lifestyle was taking me. I started going to the gym, started counting calories and dropped nearly 50 pounds. I got a social life and so far this year, I'm actually *gulp,* dating.

And then Rotten Tomatoes deleted all of my film lists and I really didn't feel like trying to rebuild them.

So I feel like I've pretty much seen everything I wanted to see from 2014. Only one perfect rating.

Here's my top ten:

1. Captain America: The Winter Soldier: ****
2. The Grand Budapest Hotel: ***1/2
3. Guardians of the Galaxy: ***1/2
4. Edge of Tomorrow: ***1/2
5. The Guest: ***1/2
6. Life Itself: ***1/2
7. The LEGO Movie: ***1/2
8. Snowpiercer: ***1/2
9. John Wick: ***1/2
10.The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies: ***1/2
