I’m disappointed he didn’t include “Joe” on the best list.
A bit of a dark film, but excellently done and very moving.
Also, it proved that Nicolas Cage can still turn in a good performance, when he isn’t just doing junk scripts to pay the tax man.
the battle of the five armies is the only one of those movies I bothered to go to the theater for last year. I believe the desolation of Smaug was the last movie that that I went to the theater to see before that. I saw Guardians of the Universe at home and, when it was over, I immediately watched it a again.
Big Eyes was wayy better than I expected. Wonder why he didn’t like The Imitation Game that much?
You’ve got to be kidding? The Hobbit?!
I sat through “The Other Woman” at a family get together. It was O.K. There were some funny scenes. But the Hollywood Liberal Feminist meme of “women good, men bad” was up front and in your face. they’re not even trying to be subtle anymore.

Where is “Unbroken” in all of this? That film was incredible!
Meth-head sees way too many movies if he is reviewing “best of’s”.
Not a bad list.
I highly recommend “Chef”.
It will seem like a Foody show but, it’s about passion and ultimately you’re a winner when chasing your dream and the very act and outcome are visceral parts of your being.
Some very funny moments as well.
The last installment of the Hobbit was good:
- If you like watching 90 minutes of computer generated animation,
- You don’t mind the movie tripping over itself to connect itself to the Lord of the Rings trilogy,
- If it doesn’t bother you that the movie doesn’t follow the book very well,
- If you can tolerate the over-emphasis on the evil of greed,
- Ridiculous battle scenes don’t bother you
I was looking forward to the Atlas Shrugged movie as I enjoyed the first two (the first more than the second).
Anybody else seen it and does it have anything to recommend itself?
My 23 yo son saw American Sniper this weekend with his GF....she knew very little of the story but went anyway. My son told me he bawled like Boehner and the entire theatre was right there with him. He said it was an “experience” he would not soon forget. He said the story was the star, not so much the actors...that is when you know as an actor you have done a good job.
Wait, where’s Selma? Shouldn’t it be in the top ten? More proof that Hollywood is racist. /sarc
I’m glad that he ad ‘Chef’ on the list. Got it from Netflicks last week and it was the bet movie I’ve seen in ages. I really enjoyed it and highly recommend it.
BEST: 1. American Sniper, 2. Boyhood, 3. Chef, 4. Magic in the Moonlight, 5. The Hobbit: Battle of Five Armies, 6. Guardians of the Galaxy, 7. Locke, 8. The Lego Movie, 9. Mr. Turner, 10. Big Eyes.
I saw TWO of those movies. I have never even heard of Chef, Magic in the Moonlight, Locke, or Big Eyes.
Michael Medved just announced he has stage 3 throat cancer, rasped his way through the show, will get treatment and expects to be back by the end of February. Not that long. He will have guest hosts.
