Movie Buff - 365 Films Ranked

Bio: Films are awesome. I can't say no to a good Bond movie, but the best film ever is surely The Shawshank Redemption. The most important thing for me in a film is the music. Probably because I'm a professional musician. Look at my rankings, I mostly only rank films I like, if you agree with my tastes, get in touch and recommend something!

48 The Rum Diary (2011) - Feb 28, 2012
Mini-Review: I'll be honest and just admit straight up that I was really hoping for a Fear And Loathing sequel, but nonetheless I'd like to think I'm being fairly open minded when I say that this was pretty lacking. I just feel that there's not really a full plot here, that the characters are amusing but not genuinely interesting, and that the pacing is too slow. If this was you I'd want to hear your story, but that doesn't mean it makes for a great film at all.
88 The Adventures of Tintin (2011) - Feb 28, 2012
Mini-Review: Casual entertainment at it's absolute best. There's not really anything of great substance here but the whole thing is just so fun and exciting that you honestly won't mind. SO much better than you're expecting it to be.
90 Warrior (2011) - Feb 28, 2012
Mini-Review: Absolutely stunning. I was skeptical about watching as underdog fighting films set in gritty cities are hardly rare, but this really, really blew me away. The plot, the acting, the score, it all comes together so well, and no matter how predictable the whole thing may appear, you will still have your breath taken away. The fight scenes are great too. Overall, this has been one of my favourite films of recent years. Well and truly worth your time!
70 Ghosts of the Abyss (2003) - Jan 02, 2012
Mini-Review: Enlightening documentary with some stunning visuals. It's amazing to watch Cameron pointing out details on the ship; it goes to show he's not as successful as he is for no reason.
85 Heat (1995) - Jan 02, 2012
Mini-Review: Brilliant. Slow toward the end, but gets better with every watch. In all seriousness would anybody ever predict bad things from a Michael Mann film starring Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro? And it's exactly what you'd expect it to be. Carefully paced but rugged and exciting, the dialog is exceptional especially where the leads are concerned. Go ahead and check this out. You're unlikely to be disappointed.
58 Hostel (2005) - Dec 19, 2011
Mini-Review: A difficult movie to watch, with not quite enough story to justify the large quantities of gruesome torture. By the end, I did feel some empathy for the main character, and wanted him to survive, which made the last third of the film quite exciting. Truth be told, I don't really feel the need to rewatch this, because so much of the film is just empty shock value.
41 Ginger Snaps (2000) - Oct 30, 2011
Mini-Review: I REALLY couldn't get into this film. The plot is predictable and dull, none of the characters have any depth or dimension, and the effects & cutting are downright lazy. There are a few moments where the film manages to produce some genuine tension, but to be honest if thats what you're looking for you'd be better off watching a paranormal activity film. Not funny either. The most important point: why would you need to analogize periods with werewolfs? Periods are much scarier...
60 Paranormal Activity 3 (2011) - Oct 28, 2011
Mini-Review: Having never seen a paranormal activity film before, I wasn't really sure what to expect. Going to see it with my friends at the cinema was actually a really enjoyable experience. Made me jump a few times, and there are even hints of a good story in here, albeit only for the last five minutes or so. Definitely more a money grabbing scheme than a piece of art, but worth seeing at the cinema. The scares are all pretty predictable stuff, but as I said there is almost a good story here... progress!
88 Touching the Void (2003) - Jul 28, 2011
91 Good Will Hunting (1997) - Jul 03, 2011
Mini-Review: Truly great, it's hard to believe that this was written by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. Robin Williams is simply superb.
