Grandfathered

WTF, We have been deleted ?? Not the series but the file. Thank god ! |
REVIEW
In this episode see how Kara (SG) got away from being accused as being Supergirl from her boss. She got a new aliance in the process.
THE BIG SHORT
Seen and to be reviewed very soon
REVIEWED
This is one of my movie of 2015. Not in the top 10 because like others which are not in it, it dont have special effects and actions. It is good in its scripts and acting. Why not as the heavy weights were in it - Bale, Gosling, Pit and Carrel. All give fantastic performance. Dont expect much from Pit as his part is not as big as the other 3. But since his company "Plan B" produced this movie so he is in it.
I like this movie because its about trading. Not trading forex which is my forte, not even the stock market but the loans and mortgage. Being what happened is true it makes the watching more interesting.
Good movie and style as I like it. Some say (I wont name who) they should not put the narration by Gosling in the movie as it makes it weird and irritating. For me it become more interesting and unique !
Guess the movie manage to make itself interesting even if the subject of trading is boring to those who dont.
Thumbs up.

Here we go ! My BEST FILMS (I've seen) OF 2015
Finally the list is compiled and it was not an easy task. I guess what can be potion to some maybe poison to someone else (or something like that on the English proverb). The thing is what define "BEST" and I really cannot compress it to 10 from 115 films that I watched in 2015. If there are another categories like "drama" or "comedy" then other films deserve the selection.
I have seen list of their best films for 2015 from my favorite movie critics/reviews whom are Jeremy Jahns and Chris Stuckman. Jeremy's list I can understand but Chris Stuckman ? MI has honorable mention only (whattt ! And Avengers2 did not !)
And so many good films to me fail to make Chris's list. Jeremy's choice is more acceptable to mine thou.
But I fail to see why the film "The Hateful 8" was both in their list ! I tried to see it and I am one who can enjoy drama if its good. But I can say that for "hateful 8" which I am forcing myself to finish (just 1/4 way).
So I think that define the word "BEST". Its film that thrilled and excited that after watching it made me feel good and admit that the time spent was worth it. I am not saying that good drama films like Steve Jobs, Big Short, Spotlight, Bridge of Spies or even Sacrifice Pawn (?) did not. But not to that sense where as you can sense it, special effects and action played a big role.
So here is the list from No 10 to No 1. Bye 2015 and welcome 2016 !

BLACK MASS
REVIEWED
This is a FBI Mafia sort of movies. Thou this is the Irish mafia not the italian one. Also in the movie you also have this rival between the Irish and the Italian mafias.
So Bulger, character played by Johnny Depp is the boss of the Irish mafia. He did all sort of bad things including murder and got away with it because he was in "alliance" with Conolly (played by Edgelton) an FBI agent who was his childhood friend. His brother (played by Cumberbatch) was involved in the Senate.
JD in this one (as reviewed by many) really brought how cruel Bulger could be. He was like someone without a conscious or pain. He killed or asked his goons to kill as he liked. The execution scenes were nicely executed (!) Not overly done.
There were quite a number of known stars too, K Beacon and that guy from Ant Man were in this one.
To me this film did not depict the power of Bulger rather than how corrupted or stupid the FBI can be when it comes to people they choose not to prosecute because they are their informants. Why not as Bulger did get away with murder in broad daylight on the road with a rifle.
Good fulfilling gangster movie.

VACATION
REVIEW
Finally, watched this comedy film taken from my video archive. Its those movies that I have not or dont intent to see but archived.
The father is actually one of the 2 kids in the movie franchise who starred Chevy Chase not too long ago
I had fun watching this one which I did not expect. Thou the slapsticks are very "over" they really works. In fact some are very funny to me. There were many known actors appearing in this movie who dont really mind to be paid less (I think) as long they are part of the franchise. Something like Star Wars TFA but on a smaller scale.
Its a comedy which spelt disaster at first then at the end give a sense of satisfaction to all involved.
Worth my time for the laughter. Is anybody remember laughter ?

2015 Top movies seen - The Polling Process
Criterias
- Any movies I have seen of 2015 released listed in the IMDB's 9,000 list (link provided in previous posting)
- As such, the movies listed were theaterical list where TV movies not qualify.
- Does not matter what categories they are in. The word is "Best" on what I like.
- Only movies I have seen. There may be movies which are good but I have not seen which therefore not qualify for the polls. There are also movies I have seen but forgotten while looking at the listing which may be "forgetful" anyway.
Process
- The list are put in a spreadsheet.
- First selection is on those which i think should be in the list
- Second selection is to narrow the list further from the selected first ones
- On reaching a manageable figure, I will then put the list in sequence.
Will be posted when the list is done.
BTW, 114 movies have been selected for polling.
