RatedRStar: What's your Game of the Year for 2007, Mine's Bioshock. My Film of the year is a tie between There Will Be Blood and Zodiac.

I saw Mad Max: Fury Road, It's my Number 1 pick for 2015 so far, The Action was exhilarating, The Performances were excellent, with a surprisingly good performance as well by Nicholas Hoult and was a blast from start to finish.
Ratings
Hardy - 4.5 (Although most of the focus goes to Theron, Hardy handled his part with ease, as a fairly silent bad-ass, with less lines than the other two main performances, but when he does speak, it's all the more effective. Love the voice too by the way)
Theron - 4.5 (Bordering on a 5, her best performance since Monster, although I haven't seen her in Young Adult, She's very effective in her portrayal of a more human, more desperate heroine, who wants to make her way back home)
Hoult - 4
Keays-Byrne - 3/3.5
The Wives - 3
2007 would place high on my top 10 all time great film years.

10)Oskar Werner - Jules and Jim
RatedRStar: Yes, that is correct.
Hum, I am expecting a win for Jean Gabin in Le Jour se Leve and Nakadai to be in the TOP 5 for Harakiri in 1962.
I'd Put Mifune and Nakadai in those Top 10s for their performances in Sanjuro for '62.
Lawrence Harvey is WAY too low, man .
I had actually forgotten about Sanjuro, I was doing this before I went to bed so I was being quick, I am certain Harvey wont finish in the top 5, that top 5 is almost guaranteed for lead.
There is no way in hell that Peter O Toole loses for 1962, Louis called it a legendary performance.
Ah well at least 1939 no one seems to disagree too much lol.

Louis: It looks like The Sea Of Trees, is going to be a contender for your bottom 5 of the year.
Louis: Apparently, it's worse than Gerry.
Louis: Ratings and thoughts on Pallette, Carradine, and Rains
Caught up with Age of Ultron. Really enjoyed it from beginning to end. My ratings and thoughts on the cast:
Downey-3.5(He could play Tony Stark in his sleep at this point, but he's still just so good in the role)
Ruffalo-4(My favourite of the main team. I thought he nailed every aspect and I thought he did particularly well with Banner/Natasha stuff)
Evans-3.5(He just is Cap at this point. Brings all the needed passion)
Renner-3.5(Bordering on 4. Glad he got the expansion, because he really comes into his own here)
Johanssen-3(Does what she needs to, and is completely solid)
Hemsworth-3(Thor's not that interesting a character, but Hemsworth is entertaining enough. I particularly love his reaction when Cap moves the hammer)
Taylor-Johnson-3(Pretty solid, actually. Not much else to say)
Olsen-2(Terrible accent, but beyond that she's just dull)
Spader-4(My favourite in the cast. I think the writing makes Ultron a little too goofy at points, but Spader's voice just oozes menace regardless. Great work)
Bettany-3.5(He's got such a great presence, and it was nice to see him "in the flesh", so to speak. He's got the right manner, and his last scene is great.)
Jackson-2.5(Slightly more than a cameo, but he always brings something to a film)
I should quickly note that I consider Downey lead, but he's right on the border.
Alright I'm back.
JackiBoyz:
1. Dillane
2. Christie
3. Allen
4. Harington
5. Turner
Michael Patinson:
Pallette - 4(Pallette's pretty good here, and should have been the one nominated by the film. Every scene he is in is a bit of nice fresh air, as he brings out the incisive quality needed for basically the one member of his family who is not a bit off. He acts well as an extra straight man to Powell, but as a straight man who's less willing to bear the insanity)
Carradine - 3.5(Carradine an entertaining heavy here, and that voice of his is always great to hear. He brings a nice bit of menace and is rather fun in portraying his character's demented revenge. His change of heart is a bit rushed, but I really did like his final scene where shows a nicer side to the character)
Rains - 3.5(I'd say a lesser bit of villainous Rains here, but since it's Rains it is still pretty good)
Luke:
Oh well in regards to Sea of Trees. I should reserve judgement before I see it, although already not caring for van Sant does not make that easy.
