A change in my work has forced me to slow down on movies but I'm doing my best to play catch up.
Lately I have seen the following:
The Babadook, American Sniper, A Most Violent Year, Nightcrawler
Nightcrawler is one of the best of 2014. Gyllenhaal should get Oscar recognition.
The Babadook was tense and unnerving but had a horrible ending
American Sniper had a decent performance from Bradley Cooper, but the film didn't provide enough *umphf* to make it memorable
A Most Violent Year sported a good performance from Isaac and Chastain but JC Chandor is a director that I really don't like. His "artistic" vision in films is lost on me. Same went with All is Lost last year with Redford. I thought it was just artistically misguided.
What did you think of Essie Davis? I thought she was Oscar-worthy.
