Top 10 movies of the year (UK/Ireland releases only) and your worst...

Corazon de Leon

Worth mentioning that Max's Australia is one of the prototypical post-apocalyptic worlds. Just about everything that came after the original from Escape From New York to Borderlands was influenced by it.

I think the main reason I liked it was how little Tom Hardy it actually had in it, and his biggest badass moment (him disappearing into the night to fight the bullet farmer and his buddies) isn't even shown on screen :lol:

Even Nicholas Hoult is pretty good.

Corazon de Leon

You say that like Nicholas Hoult is usually gooseberry fool. I don't think I've disliked him in anything I've seen him in, even the X-Men films.

He probably coudn't sing or dance well in some shitty musical Frank watched.

He was okay in About a Boy but then I couldn't stand him in Skins.

He's not really your first thought for "action movie star", but he's so good as Nux.

Corazon de Leon

And yet he's performed well in at least three action movies(Mad Max, First Class, DofP). Four if you count Jack the Giant Slayer, which I thought was a pretty passable update of the fairytale. :lol:

I know what you mean though, he's not exactly a Chris Hemsworth type modern action hero but then, I don't think you have to be anymore.

American Sniper sure, but SOC was 2015, no?

Stuff I saw and enjoyed:
Mad Max: Fury Road
Star Wars: The Force Awakens
Brooklyn
Ant Man
Avengers: Age of Ultron
Inside Out

I was just typing out that I havent seen a bad movie this year and then I remembered I saw The Good Dinosaur, strawberry float me that was a waste of 2 hours.

Isn't that the point.

You wrote it as if you weren't sure, even though it only came out about 3 months ago. :lol:

In this situation Dan's post is weirder than mine.

American Sniper was released in the UK this year

Er, no it's not... :lol:

I wasn't sure AS was this year, my post was poorly worded so it seems like I'm unsure about both, fair enough.

I don't understand what point you were trying to make with your post. If you're trying to illustrate that my confusion over AS was justified but it's daft to think SOC might have been 2014 then you're making the exact same mistake I made originally by putting a question mark after it because it makes it seem like you're not sure.

I blame chalky.

You're strawberry floating drunk.
