Well I would have liked Deakins to return, but what can you do?)<br /><br />2. Queen of the Desert - (This type of story in the hands of Werner Herzog could gives us something unique)<br /><br />3. The Revenant - (Birdman better not have been a fluke)<br /><br />4. Triple Nine - (Hoping Lawless was just a fluke)<br /><br />5. The Hateful Eight - (It's Tarantino so I'm interested. Hopefully his editing will be a little more back on track this time)<br /><br />6. Crimson Peak - (Sounds like my type of horror)<br /><br />7. Mad Max: Fury Road - (I'm all for another Mad Max and it looks interesting to say the least. I would have liked Gibson to return, but you could not ask for a better replacement)<br /><br />8. Chappie - (Hopefully a tad less bombastic than his last effort, and it's good to see Copley not as a villain)<br /><br />9. The Avengers: Age of Ultron - (Hopefully its as enjoyable as the first, and Ultron looks like he could potentially be a great villain which are oddly rare in Marvel films)<br /><br />10. Silence - (10 because it's 2016 now, I'm hoping it makes a 2015 release) Louis Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07933180959140340196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-53228595757240462262015-01-27T18:23:10.974-05:002015-01-27T18:23:10.974-05:00RatedRStar, Louis and anyone else: in detail, what...RatedRStar, Louis and anyone else: in detail, what are your thoughts/hopes on your top ten anticipated films of 2015.Luke Highamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07075392435078135757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-2443376396494764862015-01-27T17:58:50.886-05:002015-01-27T17:58:50.886-05:00I'm seeing it with my old buddy Jack Daniels.I'm seeing it with my old buddy Jack Daniels.Robert MacFarlanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17264501767985746886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-86166705193940002452015-01-27T17:52:24.524-05:002015-01-27T17:52:24.524-05:00KoooK160: In that case sure, but there's no wa...KoooK160: In that case sure, but there's no way in hell I'm seeing it, I'd much rather see Shame again than that piece of crap.Luke Highamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07075392435078135757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-71544059133989028592015-01-27T17:46:22.938-05:002015-01-27T17:46:22.938-05:00I don't know.

Hopefully Van Sant will keep his excesses under control. <br /><br />Redmayne looked more like classic Redmayne in the trailer, which is not a good thing, but I'll reserve judgment until I watch the film. <br /><br />Matt: <br /><br />Damon would move down to a 2.5, his performance is just tonally very wrong. Foy would move up to a 4 if she wasn't already. <br /><br />Luke: <br /><br />1. Heath Ledger - The Dark Knight<br />2. Guy Pearce - Memento<br />3. Matthew McConaughey - Interstellar <br />4.

Actors have won Razzies and Oscars in the same year; the "Norbit" curse is a load of bull perpetrated by people who can't understand that maybe, just maybe, the Academy (and BAFTA) liked Alan Arkin more.<br /><br />I don't think Best Actor is sewn up yet. Keaton may have just lost ground but his film is gaining it by the day -- have we ever had a scenario like this play out? If everyone goes gaga for "Birdman," Keaton will get some of that love. I think that it was close with SAG and I think Keaton has a very good shot to win BAFTA (he won London Critics, after all, and they're a good bellwether for BAFTA). Plus he *did* win a SAG Ensemble award, so there could've been a "spread the love" scenario in play.<br /><br />I just can't fathom "Birdman" overtaking "Boyhood" and Keaton missing Best Actor in the bargain.Psifoniannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-74582805007265326532015-01-27T07:58:13.056-05:002015-01-27T07:58:13.056-05:00Louis: Also, your ranking of Nolan's films.Louis: Also, your ranking of Nolan's films.Luke Highamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07075392435078135757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-4643103114105204632015-01-27T07:57:09.512-05:002015-01-27T07:57:09.512-05:00Louis: Since you've now covered all of Christo...Louis: Since you've now covered all of Christopher Nolan's films from Memento to Interstellar, what are your top ten performances in Nolan Films.Luke Highamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07075392435078135757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-81761192989532597562015-01-27T07:46:45.882-05:002015-01-27T07:46:45.882-05:00Has anyone heard the rumor that Eddie Redmayne is ...Has anyone heard the rumor that Eddie Redmayne is so terrible in Jupiter Ascending that his people are trying to distance him from it so as not to "Norbit" his chances?Robert MacFarlanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17264501767985746886noreply@blogger.com
