Dude Rates Movies
2016 facts
In 2016, I watched 71 movies.
My longest streak of movie-watching days was from 17 February to 20 February, with 4 movies watched.
My longest pause without any movie-watching was from 29 June to 28 July.
The oldest movie I saw was Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, from 1939.
2016 Premiere League
A-rated movies I saw in 2016 which were released in 2016.
2016 Catchup League
A-rated movies released in 2016 which I watched after 2016.
So I was just thinking, if I was tasked to chose a song to send to an alien civilization, I would probably chose the raw City of Stars duo by Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling.
I like tragedy. This delivers.
2016 Classics League
A-rated movies I saw in 2016 which were released before 2016.
Journalist (pointing at a big poster on the wall): “Who is this one?” Steve: “Alan Turing. Single handedly won World War II and for an encore invented the computer. He won’t be part of the campaign though.” Journalist: “Why?” Steve: “Because you just had to ask me who he was.”
When I was in college a guy in the class said that Steve Jobs was such an historical figure because he invented the computer. Since he was a Job fan I hope he went to watch this movie.
Keanu Reeves guns down everybody that is linked to the murder of his poor cute dog. Shut up and take my money.
Not only did this taught me about this massacre I didn’t know about, but it’s also a very poignant depiction of it. Dennis Villeneuve is such an excellent director.
This is probably the saddest movie I’ve ever seen. One of the peculiar aspect of it is that it’s a drama about people turning against an innocent man, but there is no one you can truly blame for this behavior. It’s just a human relationships total clusterfuck with heart-wrenching consequences. It conveys such strong emotions. This is what I look for in cinema.
Best movie from Denis Villeneuve in my opinion. Not as epic or ambitious than Blade Runner 2049 or stuff like that, but it is such a powerful and solid thriller.
One of the best recent horror movie. The concept is original, it goes directly against the traditional codes of the genre, and the director plays with our nerves by distilling such a frightening atmosphere even in normal scene.
