Argo is great, but imho Zero Dark Thirty should have won Best Picture.
Haven't seen it

Completely relate to this. After seeing Everest I spent most of the following week reading about the real life events it was based on and being utterly fascinated by the completely macabre way in which so many bodies are stuck up there like sign posts.
The movie is simultaneously thrilling and depressing.

Forgot to add i had two viewings of Train to Busan, i really enjoyed the fast paced crazy zombies
Yep same. Also reading up on other campaigns to get up there. Have a feeling I will be buying a bit of literature on this subject in the future.

Plus one for reading up on everest
Felt the same, but have a new appreciation for him since he went behind the camera, "Gone Baby Gone", "The Town" (best film of it's genre since Heat IMO) and "Argo" were all excellent, also liked "The Accountant" recently, so I've almost forgiven him for "Pearl Harbor" now.

Good movie but a lot of fake history in it.

Watched Rogue One again last night. That's definitely grown on me.

Happy Death Day
Solid, cheesy college horror. Doesn't get as much done with its Groundhog Day premise as it could but it's plenty entertaining.
The Snowman
About as good as any Scandinavian noir I've ever seen, of which The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo series remains the only worthwhile entry (Swedish and Fincher versions). Fassbender does what he normally does which is carry a terrible script and lacklustre cast on his back. In this instance, especially, the script gives him less than nothing to work with but it's an okay by-the-numbers thriller if you have nothing to do on a Sunday afternoon.
Thor Ragnarok
Controversial opinion but this may be the best Thor movie. Yes, it's even better than The Dark World.

I've read somewhere the production weren't allowed to shoot 20% of the script because they had run out of time?. The film is quite lucky to have Thelma Schoonmaker as film editor.

Atomic Blonde 8/10 - Think I enjoyed this more than John Wick 2 which by no means was a terrible film. The cinematography & action sequences were spectacular. Helps to have Charlize Theron as female hero. Music selection was great too.

The one take fight scene followed by the one take car chase was stunning.

Dark City (1998) - Terrific sci-fi, mystery movie that seems underappreciated. Very original movie, pretty high concept for its time which is probably why it didn't do so well at the box office. Best to watch this knowing as little as possible plotwise. I was surprised numerous times throughout. 8.5/10

A Serbian Film - astonishingly brutal and depraved. For sick fascination purposes only.

I read this and was thinking "Whatever happened to Aussie director Alex Proyas", then googled a movie I watched tonight on TV (Knowing), and turned out that was the same director. Timely coincidence.

His filmography is strangely underwhelming given how good Dark City was.

That's a good one too. He seemed to start out well then...I'm not sure what happened.
