State of Play-10/10 Brilliant performances from an all-star cast in an intelligent, edge-of-your-seat, political thrill-ride.
 
12 Years a Slave - 10/10
Wow. This and Dallas Buyers Club transcend the idea of cinematic entertainment to provide something more than just an escape. They're both lessons in our failures taken from real events. And they are failures we should be aware of and never forget. They examine our failures on every level of who we are as a species.
Not to take anything away from the other great movies of the year, but these deserve a level of attention the rest don't require.
I'm not forgetting that WOWS and Hustle were based on real events as well, though Hustle was the loosest of them all. And we know that rich dicks are always out to take everything they can and ruin things for the rest of us, like Leo and Jonah tried. That's a universal constant, fun as it was to watch. LOL But they rest on a plane beneath movies like 12 Years.

All of the performances in this were spectacular. I was moved by everyone, the simple, the small, the powerful, the complex, the good and the bad.
I get the feeling that PC backlash, as being in full-force now because, tough guy d***s being what they are and all that, disallows me from stating it upset me tremendously, but it did. And the knee-jerk PC naysayers can kiss all of my *** if they want to be bothered by that, because they're obviously so entrenched in a mindframe of reactionary opposition that they can't sympathize with simple human suffering so they can keep hammering home their belief that racism died long ago.

This movie resonates through today, to right-fricking-now. Human trafficking is a goddamn horror we should all understand we can't allow to continue.
 
Thor: The Dark World - 8/10

Another excellent entry into the MCU. Had a good balance of action, drama, chracater development, and humour. Really looking forward to seeing where we go with Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
 
Of the Best Picture nominees I saw I would have given it to Dallas Buyers Club. 12 Years a Slave was good but repetitive. Scene after scene of slaves being whipped or hung. Story progression consisted of our main character being sold to another bad man who whips and mistreats and rapes until he (main character) happens to meet a sympathetic ear in Brad Pitt's character. After a while it all seemed a bit excessive - yes, OK, we get it, slavery was horrible, terrible injustices etc etc but the first hour and a quarter of that was quite sufficient to put that message across.
 
Star Trek TNG S3 - 7/10
Star Trek TNG S4 - 7/10

Godzilla Millennium ------- 9/10
Godzilla x Megaguirus ---- 6/10
GMK -------------------- 4/10
Godzilla x Mechagodzilla - 5/10
Tokyo S.O.S. ----------- 5/10
 
Justice League: War - 7/10

Pretty cool, certainly better than I was expecting. Cocky Superman and some truly awful voice acting on Wonder Woman were my two biggest knocks against it. Giant Darkseid was badass. Hal stole the show.

Oh, and I was tempted to deduct a point for Captain Marvel being referred to as Shazam. :monkey4
 
Nebraska: 9.5/10 Wish Dern had won for Lead
Dallas Buyer's Club: 9/10 Leto deserved the Supporting oscar
Carrie(2013): 5/10 thought this would be much better
Captain Phillips: 9/10
 
Justice League: War: 6/10

I thought this was pretty disappointing. The action was fine, but there was way too much going on, without enough time to properly tell the story. This probably should have been broken up into two animated films. I also didn't think many of the characters were all that likable, which may be due to the fact that we didn't get much character development. Batman was pretty great though. Definitely on the lower tier of the DC animated films in my opinion. Probably my least favorite of the Justice League movies.
