    Maybe, I should, but I never check the lounge. Seriously though, your movie picks are as puzzling as your boxing picks. Reading them is like riding a rollercoaster through the mind of a madman.

    2015 Hateful Eight. Nice start. A decent movie and you can't go wrong with Tarantino. But it's not his best and is kind of a watered down version of The Thing. But alright, at least you followed up with Mad Max my favorite movie of the year. Then we come to Crimson Peak, which I heard wasn't good so I haven't seen it. It's a Del Toro picture; so maybe it's good, but down the page you don't even include his best picture Pan's Labyrinth! Didn't see Chappie. Din't see Carol, looked like typical Oscar bait trying to capitalize on how liberal the Academy is with feminism and *******uality. Followed by San Andreas? That film with The Rock? That B-looking disaster porn remake of Earthquake? And then trailing your list is Sicario, which was alright and made a lot of critics lists, but didn't really have any memorable dialogue or characters. It's culturally relevant and gritty, but where's the story?

    2014 You are cheating with True Detective. Rules of the game: movies and miniseries accepted but no tv shows. Interstellar? No way. Lot of time travel bull****, and lens flairs on digital images. I know that they figured out space travel at the end, but they never did figure out how to stop "the blight" that was destroying all edible crops on Earth; so what the **** were they all eating in space utopia baseball land? Are they just all living in space since Matt and what's her name may not even have found a habitable planet in the end? The end was sort of like "We're all living in space, where there are no more problems." Oh, and it's possible to communicate with people through time, but only through your daughter's bookshelf. Birdman's a good next pick. Didn't see Under the Skin or Horns, but Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and Edge of Tomorrow are acceptable.

    2013 I didn't see any of those but This Is the End and I liked it. I've been meaning to see some of the others.

    2012. Django Unchained. My man. Didn't see it. Didn't see it. Didn't see it. Didn't see it. The Raid was the same thing but better.

    2011. Tree of Life. Loved it. Art. Cerebral and poetic. Experimental and pushes boundaries. Melancholia. Well, Von Trier's not for me. Also not a Woody Allen fan. The Skin I Live In made me angry it was so bad. And I didn't see Young Adult.

    Seen like 30 minutes of it and turned it off, too artsy and pretentious in a bad way.

    That's a great line.:lol:

    San Andreas is surprisingly moving for a piece of dreck, unlike many disaster films, the focus is on a man trying to save his family, family values is rare in Hollywood these days, it was a level above most recent disaster films I've seen, and I've been a fan of Earthquake since I was a kid. :D

    Don't believe the negative reviews about Crimson Peak, I liked Pan's but it didn't blow me away.

    Carol is a throwback film, it feels like a Vicente Minnelli film by way of Ingmar Bergman, its a complex mood piece, not your typical liberal Hollywood Oscar bait, which I can't stand, you might like it.

    The only reason I included True Detective is because like Band Of Brothers it felt like a stand alone 10 hour miniseries even though its technically a TV show. Good enough for me.

    I'm very excited about the first two.

    Fury - Klitschko is good too, but I don't see Fury becoming a long-term champion (not disciplined enough imo) nor Klitchko hanging around for too much longer.

    Holyfield was also juiced out of his gord in an era with literally no drug testing and the age discrepancy is five years not ten.

    But I thought that "ammy fights" don't matter for the pros.
