it takes some pretty big balls to say a trilogy with a production budget of 300 million dollars had horrendous losses when it cleared 3 billion at the box office alone.

I swear to god while I was digging through Wikipedia I saw some movies and thought to myself "oh goddamnit, Jimmy"
the movies i hated leaving off the most were tyrannosaur and hackers
2010 was the hardest year for me though. there were only a handful of films i loved that year, and twice as many utter disappointments.
my shortlist of runners up was harry brown, a prophet, black swan, and the girl who kicked the hornet's nest.
but man, between the wolfman, district 13: ultimatum, 44 inch chest, shutter island, life during wartime and splice...2010 just kept kickin' me when i was down with regard to flicks i got hyped about.

I really need to sit down and actually watch Tyrannosaur.
I've owned it since it came out, but I've always gotten a feeling of deep tired dread every time I've considered watching it.

make sure you watch it in the middle of the day so you have enough time to cheer yourself back up
it's not a happy movie, but the performances are astounding.
Speaking of Bill Murray, I just realized that Lost in Translation is the only R-rated film I've got on my list. And I totally forgot that it was rated that, too.

Thoughts: Decidedly less superhero movies than I anticipated, though sci-fi is obviously a thing. 1996 was a year that didn't hit hard for me because I don't even like Mars Attacks! that much (yes, I know about the Rock). 2015 was a really good year for movies.

Thoughts: Decidedly less superhero movies than I anticipated, though sci-fi is obviously a thing. 1996 was a year that didn't hit hard for me because I don't even like Mars Attacks! that much (yes, I know about the Rock). 2015 was a really good year for movies.
