  1. Crazy for You and Open Your Heart are two of her top three songs for me so gah at both of those missing out already. True Blue rounds out the trio for me so hopefully see an appearance from that here?!? :wub:
  2. 82. To the Bone We're already at that stage in the countdown where the films dropping out are pretty decent but just not as memorable as those still to come. It was interesting to see a film about eating disorders because it's not something that gets touched upon much in many movies - I found it rather eye-opening to see how different characters dealt with their problems especially. Lily Collins was almost unrecognisable at times and you could tell she put a lot into the role. The character of Luke was very sweet too and helped to bring a lot of charm to the film. Keanu Reeves was boring yet again though, such a charisma vacuum and incredibly uninteresting to watch on screen. 83. Jackie I had really high hopes for this based on the trailer because Natalie Portman just looked so good in the role but I ended up being a little disappointed with the film itself in the end. I found it pretty boring to be honest and there were lots of times were very little happened for far too long - that's not to say there weren't some really enthralling scenes (the interview scenes especially) but it was a bit of a slog to watch at times. On the other hand, Portman WAS absolutely phenomenal and would have been my choice for the Oscar win last year. You know the performance is good when you forget you're watching an actress play a real-life character rather than the actual footage itself. Shout out to the score as well for being very memorable, it was almost horror film-esque at times and it really stood out to me for being so daring. 84. My Cousin Rachel Another film that I was pretty excited for based on the trailer which ended up being a little disappointing. I enjoyed watching it but it was also a bit dull at times and hasn't really been all that memorable either. Period dramas aren't usually my cup of tea anyway because I do often find them quite boring and this was no exception really. Rachel Weisz was excellent in this though and I loved how she made you feel uneasy when she was on screen but you never really knew for sure if she was up to something or not. I really appreciated the ambiguous ending too because me and my dad were chatting all the way home about our own theories of whether she was innocent or not. 85. Silence This actually outdid my expectations but still comes pretty low in the countdown. I was dreading watching it because the trailer didn't look very exciting and the runtime was just so, so, so long. Yes, it was a little bit long and dull at times but I was surprisingly engaged with the storyline despite the runtime. Andrew Garfield was my acting highlight in this and props to him for captivating me as an audience member throughout the (very long) runtime. A shout out to Liam Neeson too for making such a big impact with very little screen-time, he would have made a very deserving Supporting Actor nominee last year so it's a shame the film flopped at the awards in the end. The crucifixion in the sea scenes have really stuck with me and were very hard-hitting to watch. It was a very well-made film and I'm glad I watched it once but the fact it was so long and uneventful at times means I can't say I enjoyed it THAT much. 86. Ghost in the Shell I thought this looked like a really cool action film from the trailers and Scarlett Johansson is one of my favourite movie stars so I was really exciting going in to the cinema to watch this. Obviously, it was completely panned by critics and it's not exactly hard to see why. Personally, I quite liked all of the visual effects - the shots of the city were breathtaking and Pilou Asbæk's cool eye things were very exciting too. The action scene in the water was genuinely one of the coolest scenes of 2017 too. Johansson was super charismatic in the lead role as usual and the film definitely had its good moments. However, the plot was all very predictable which meant watching the film was a bit tedious and I wanted a lot more action/excitement than we actually got in the final cut.

    B3ysSGZu3Qk Starting to think this looks pretty naff to be quite honest - getting a bit worried I'm not going to like it... I'm here for Alicia Vikander though and the use of Destiny's Child in the trailer was such a good decision (I hope we get to hear a full-length version of that cover !! *.*)

  7. You know the drill by now. The Oscars nominations are announced in under a week now so who are you predicting to make the cut now that we're so close to the final reveal!?

    USS Callister is top of my watch list at the moment! I've heard nothing but good things about it so I just need find a moment to watch it. I'm a bit put off by the runtime of Hated in the Nation but I'll get around to it eventually - it's just finding the time :drama:
  9. 87. Geostorm There weren't many films I saw twice in cinemas this year and surprisingly Geostorm is one of those films to make the very short list. I didn't really like it the first time but my university friends also wanted to see it so I went to see it a week later with them too. It's an alright film on first viewing but I started to dislike it a bit more on second viewing because the plot holes really began to stand out. Disaster flicks are always loads of fun but this movie almost seemed embarrassed to be one and didn't have nearly enough action, especially compared to what was promised in the trailer. Instead we got a bit too much cheesy dialogue and incredibly far-fetched storyline. It was a bit of fun but definitely very flawed and I wouldn't choose to watch it for a third time. 88. Hampstead This was a cute little movie really but nothing special and I can barely remember it now only six months or so later. Movies in this batch are more just forgettable rather than bad and I did rather enjoy watching this at the time. Diane Keaton is a lovely actress and very enjoyable to watch - she was my highlight of the movie and she added a lot of charm to the role. I couldn't really tell you any key scenes or character's names now because it was so forgettable in the long run but it had a nice little charm to it and I wouldn't be opposed to watching it again. I do remember thinking the romance between the two leads felt a little forced though but I guess it is based on a true story so I can't really complain :lol: 89. Snatched I had high hopes for this because Goldie Hawn is such a star and Amy Schumer seems so promising (Trainwreck had me belly laughing a fair bit and the only thing I disliked about that was the length because things really got a bit dull in the final act or so - the short runtime for this had me hyped because I had hoped I'd be belly laughing at Amy Schumer without a dull section of the film this time around). However, it wasn't really that funny tbh and I only chuckled a couple of times. I still enjoyed the two leads and the film was fun enough but it really should have been much funnier - a mixture of Trainwreck humour and Snatched runtime would be nice next time please Amy!! 90. The Dark Tower I'm not familiar with the original Stephen King novel of this so I went in to watching this pretty blind. I would say the critics were being a bit overly harsh on the film and it was a pretty enjoyable flick for the most part even if it was totally forgettable. It's certainly no 'It' which is still a long way from dropping out but I wouldn't say 16% on Rotten Tomatoes is entirely fair. Saying that, the film is far too short meaning the final act seems to get wrapped up in a matter of seconds and the ending feels very abrupt. Some of the dialogue definitely needed working on too, I remember cackling out loud at the 'enjoy your apocalypse' line from Matthew McConaughey :lol: 91. The House Yet another forgettable comedy drops out here. I didn't hate watching it but I could barely tell you anything about it now and it never made me laugh out loud either so I can't justify ranking it any higher on my countdown. Amy Poehler is usually super funny but I didn't laugh once at any of her gags and it was Jason Mantzoukas instead who stole the show and was the only character to make me chuckle. The surprise cameo from none other than Jeremy Renner was fun too but not enough to save a rather unfunny 'comedy'.
  10. Hopefully you'll be more familiar with some films soon :heehee: This? Yes please !! I'd be super pleased to see that thread have a comeback *.* Thanks for commenting, Grant!!

  12. 92. Murder on the Orient Express Probably THE biggest disappointment of the year for me :( I was so hyped to see this because of how star-studded the cast was but in the end, everyone was wasted in minor roles and the main focus was all on Kenneth Branagh who was just so irritating to watch in the lead role. The twist was laughable to be quite honest and it was hard to even understand how Poirot had pieced together all the clues because you could barely understand him or he talked too fast. This had so much potential and I remember coming out of the cinema really disheartened at what a waste of time it felt. 93. The Ritual Horror is generally not my thing anyway as I'm a bit of a scaredy cat but I decided to go along with a friend to go and see this because it was on their watchlist. For someone who is easily scared, there were very few jumps or moments where I tensed up to be honest. Robert James-Collier was a nice new discovery for me to lust over but I found a few of the characters really annoying and it all seemed a bit pointless considering that I wasn't really scared whilst watching a horror film. I'm sure they could have designed a slightly scarier monster too, the big reveal was a bit silly because it just looked like a giant :lol: 94. Assassin's Creed This is another one that I had slightly higher hopes for and ended up being pretty sad when coming out of the cinema because it ended up being a bit rubbish. The action when it did happen was super badass and really well choreographed which I appreciated but it feels like there were barely any action scenes and it focused way more on a confusing storyline instead. The ending was also very rushed and it just became a bit silly really. A shame there wasn't more action because that was easily the best thing about it. 95. The Emoji Movie I wasn't even one of the people that was complaining about emojis being made into a movie before it was released - in fact, I was actually quite excited to see this because it seemed like a cool concept but in the end it just felt like so much of the humour didn't land and it became cringeworthy to watch. There were a few gags aimed at the online/twitter crowd which made me smirk but the childish humour was much more prominent than I had anticipated and I was eye-rolling way more than I was laughing. I wasn't so keen on the forced love storyline either, I never really felt a connection between the two characters so it became a bit awkward to watch. 96. Atomic Blonde Charlize Theron is one of the most badass actresses around so this really should have been better than it was but it was just so overly confusing that I had no idea what was going on by the end of it. Theron is such a scene-stealer in films like The Huntsman and Fate of the Furious so I had high hopes for her performance in this but she really seemed to lack charisma in this and I was pretty bored watching her. James McCoy was far more entertaining and even Sofia Boutella had much better moments. The twists and turns became silly at the end though and I had no idea what was going on and who really worked for who. I was glad when it ended so I could give my brain a rest :lol:
  13. Probably a good thing haha, still a while to go until I start recommending films :heehee: Yeah, for such a short run time and non-stop action - I was so surprised at how bored I was during the entire thing. It just felt like watching the same thing over and over and over again gah. I wasn't crazy on Atomic Blonde either tbh, I did prefer it JW but it won't be far off dropping out tbh. Nope, this list is just films that were released in the UK in 2017 :P Hmm, I wonder if Armie Hammer will be in my favourite movie of the year? :o stay tuned x I never caught MLP! Don't think I will now as I'm sure I didn't miss much :lol: Thanks for all of the comments guys !! x
  14. Opted for "Grenade" this time because I heard it the other day and forgot how annoying it had become due to overplay. As if "The Lazy Song" was voted out first though, it's by far his best for me... "That's What I Like" to win then please (wishful thinking, I know :P)
  15. Shine Ya Light always gets such a hard time :( It's still a big fave of mine. Gone for Coming Home this round which was a pretty easy choice for me. I'll go for Poison next but then the rest are ALL life-changingly amazing and it's gonna be tough to decide what to vote for :drama:
  16. lVNt1sUWyDU All of her verses are so good recently!! This is my latest obsession following on from the Krippy Kush remix *.*
  17. 08. Formation Average - 8.09 Lovers (11 - Joe, blacksquare, Cremey) Haters (3 - Jack) WDZJPJV__bQ I remember being at work when Formation first dropped and immediately downloading it to listen to on the walk home from work. It sounded really different for Beyonce on first listen and I wasn't entirely sure what to think of it to begin with but eventually it grew on me loads and I always used to feel like a sassy queen whilst lip syncing it on the walk home from school. I feel like this has become one of her signature songs already so it'll be interesting to see how this does in future rates :o 07. Sorry Average - 8.11 Lovers (10 - SamJudd, PAJ88, Davidson, Joe, Blacksquare) Haters (3 - Nick F1) QxsmWxxouIM When first adding these results up, I really was not expecting Sorry to come out as the highest track from Lemonade but it narrowly beats out Formation to claim the title of Buzzjack's favourite Lemonade single. It was one of my immediate highlights from the album so I was pleased when it was pushed to radio but unfortunately nothing from the album really took off as a standalone single in the charts. The track still managed to have a massive cultural impact, especially with its 'Becky with the good hair line' which caused many people to make guesses at who Becky could really be.

  20. Agree with this!! I knew it was a part of the film but I didn't realise just how fancy Jack Black's character being a girl would be, he had me creased on numerous occasions. The action was lots of fun too and even Nick Jonas slotted right into the film and didn't seem out of place. Glad this is doing so well at the box office because I really thought it was going to be a massive flop to be honest... :o
  21. Watched this last week and found it really thrilling and engaging, especially towards the end . Not sure why Christopher Plummer is getting loads of love for a pretty boring role but I guess it is impressive how quickly he filmed it after the sacking of Kevin Spacey. Michelle Williams was the most impressive acting performance in my opinion but she's always good at bringing the emotion *.*
  22. Massively enjoyed this, already one of my favourite awards films this year from what I've seen so far *.* McDormand was definitely my favourite performance in the film, a really complex character who you're never quite sure whether to feel sympathy for or completely dislike and some of her emotional scenes really got to me. Rockwell was excellent too though and he had an excellent villain to hero character arc - it's obviously a much louder/showy performance compared to Willem Dafoe in the Florida Project but I think I'm rooting for Rockwell now out of the potential contenders that I've actually seen. Shout out to Woody Harrelson too, the letter he left McDormand's character was hilarious but really touching too.
  23. Wow, this is a really strong discography looking at it written down like that. My least favourites from him are mainly the ballads like Just The Way You Are, When I Was Your Man and It Will Rain so I've gone for the latter in this round. Grenade is really rather overplayed too though so I'll be going for that soon as well. The Lazy Song to win ~~
  24. A little way back now but yay at Emeli Sande making it with Highs & Lows! I didn't like it as much as some of the singles from her first album but it was definitely the best thing she did this era for me. I'm still so shocked at how poorly she did commercially :o Starlight was pretty nice too but also did absolutely nothing charts wise :cry: Yay at Declan appearing too and yay for Brazil still yet to come (it definitely remains my fave of his despite being his lowest peaker for me, oops). A shame he didn't get a bit more commercial success but I hope R1 continue to support him in the future. He's one of the most promising new artists from recent years in my opinion :wub: Lovely stuff Pete!!
  25. Yep, three entries for Declan is not too bad at all!! Very excited to see what he does next, I hope we don't have to wait too long. I wasn't huge on Just For One Night at first, you're right! It ended up being a real ear worm though - I wish it had taken off and been a UK chart hit :( Thanks Pete for commenting!
