 Hey, what's going on guys? Thank you so much for tuning in to another episode of just my opinion reviews It is that time of year again the end of the year where I make my top 10 best worst favorite all that good stuff So already you probably already seen my top 10 favorite or top 15 favorite films of 2018 You've seen my top 10 worst of 2018 and this is my top 10 best of 2018 like so why the way I explained it in my top 10 top 15 favorite 2018 best in favor of different my top 10 best is a more of an more of an objective approach I'm taking my bias out of it I'm trying to take my opinion out of it my favorite is a more subjective approach yes I still I still am using subjectivity when I'm going down my objective list my top 10 best list but the subjectivity becomes first now I have not seen every film that has come out this year and there are some films that are people are saying that are the best of the year and all that good stuff and I haven't seen this so I can't talk about it and I actually had those films written down the ones but I think I threw that list away not knowing that I was going to use again but I think I have a memoir so some of the films that possibly will be on other critics list or other reviewers list or other pundits list that I haven't seen that I haven't seen is probably going to be an Oscar contender I'm just going to go ahead and list right now just so you like you'll know why those are not on my list but the first one is mid 90s I heard that film was great but I haven't seen it second is eighth grade a third one is unsane Roma and the favorite now there may be a couple of other films that on a lot of people's top 10 list I just cannot think about them on the off the top of my head I thought I had they written down but it's okay it's no big deal but guys so this is my top 10 best basically everything on this list I feel has the option to win best picture now I only really came up with nine films but I wanted to I wanted to make 10 but then I thought about a little bit more and I actually have 11 so number 11 is a honorable mention this film right here was also on my no it was not on my top favorite but coming in at number 11 is the mule which recently just came out not too long ago I'm listening theaters right now written and directed by Mr. Clint Eastwood great film if you go check out my my review for it it's kind of you know it's somewhat of a simple concise story loosely based on the true story but the execution in this film was just fantastic I love the performances I just like the way that the story was told in the pacing of the film I think that was one of the best things about it I also just like how Clint Eastwood focused on the family dynamic and their relationship at the very beginning of the film just to kind of show you know you have what type of relationship he had and what type of man this guy was but other than that I mean you can go check out my review for the film but I thought it was great like I said the story was great the pacing was fantastic the acting was great I loved it there were you know Clint Eastwood he's always you know playing with race and things like that racism and you know has you know just always something thought provoking it was one of my commenters that on this review I like his comment I didn't even you know he gave his two cents on the racism or whatever I think it was a white guy and I really did appreciate his perspective on some of the things that especially all the white people can say so I appreciated that comment but coming in at number 11 is the Mule it's freaking fantastic and you know it possibly the best best picture contender coming in at number 10 again is going to be a tie I can't because I still can't decide which film I like more and that is Black Panther and Avengers Infinity War I own both those right there still guys I cannot determine which film I like like more it's just too difficult I also have it in 3d right here so you can get the I max ratio and oh my god the I max ratio is worth it guys even if you want to watch it in 2d if you have a 3d tv and if you don't have a 3d tv you want to watch it in 2d email me and I can teach you how to convert the file because I had to figure out myself but both of those films is fantastic I mean the acting I mean I can nitpick both of those films too if I want to but I'm not gonna do that but both of those films had very compelling antagonists in the film Thanos is a villain I'm not gonna call Killmonger villain I'm just gonna call him an antagonist you know the effects was great the costumes great the acting was great the story was great I love both those films both of them have done stuff for me technically and creatively that I've never seen before in a theater going experience so that's why I put those on my top 10 best films of 2018 that have a list a way of winning Best Picture now these have a number of ways to win Oscars in a number of different categories but you know I think they possibly deserve a shot at Best Picture but these are in sequential order of my opinion of them of how much I like them coming in at number nine right here this was also on my top 10 favorite list of 2018 and that is The Incredibles 2 I love this film right here there's really nothing that I don't like about it the effects were great the story was great and the characters was great the only thing that did not make this film a perfect 10 out of 10 to me was the villain was a little uh he wasn't as good as he possibly could have been I think the villain was better in the first film but all around guys this was an incredible film I love it that's why I have a not only on Blu-ray on 4k right here it's something that I can watch over and over again not only this is my one of my favorite films 2018 I think this is one of the best films 2018 this is not just for children this is for adults uh it's really compelling story story telling they really thought everything through and I love this film uh coming in at number uh coming in at number eight let me mark these out real quick um is a film directed by Mr. Bradley Cooper I believe this was his directorial debut and that is a star is born not only was his directing fantastic but uh his acting was as well complimented by the lovely Miss Lady Gaga she is a fantastic performer and it came through in this film and she can also act her ass off too I love the intro of this film and how it showed their relationship and how it bloomed uh into something that couples can possibly aspire to um I just the tension in this film uh just the way they communicated and everything about it I just found was phenomenal now this is number eight in this film because I didn't put at the top of my list because the film came in at around uh two hours and 16 minutes I feel that they could have shaped off about 15 or 20 minutes there were a couple of pacing issues but the film was still great the story was still you know um just out there outstanding and just those performances man the acting was was freaking fantastic there was I was almost in tears in my eyes at some points because it was just that sad and that daunting but also uplifting all at the same time so I really didn't enjoy this film it's probably nothing that I would buy and watch over and over and over again but you know because it's not one of my favorites this is not my style of film but I can still appreciate you know great filmmaking and that is why stars born is on my top 10 best list of 2010 coming in at number eight now this film coming in at number seven was also on my top 10 favorite of 2018 and that is uh it was directed by John Krasinski that is a quiet place um I think it's very hard to have a very great thought-provoking suspenseful mystery film when you don't really have any dialogue I mean the only thing you can do is it just come out and perform it with no words and they were able to do that okay I was able to tell with all their mannerisms and you know things like that just of the stress you know that they had to go through to live in this lifestyle I mean and it was some a lot of your age you see some moments you know though this is in the trailer the scene where she's trying to have the baby I was like oh my gosh how in the hell are they gonna get out of this situation you know I'm seeing and I watched this movie I can't even really talk to myself because you don't want to disturb everybody else because it's a quiet movie it's a quiet place and when you can do that when you can have that type of experience in the theater or even at home or whatever it's just great it's something that you've never you know experienced before at least for myself I love the film everything about it was fantastic it is a great film it is I haven't bought it yet but it probably is something I'm going to be buying and that is a quiet place coming in number seven one of the best films one of my favorite films in 2018 and that's why it comes in number seven all right coming in at number six is a film that I was looking very forward to I feel that it paid off it's directed by Mr. Peter Farley and that is Green Book which stars Mahershala Ali and Viggo Mortison Mahershala Ali he was in he was a he was one of the villains in the Netflix series Luke Cage I can't I don't can't believe why I couldn't think of that and also Viggo Mortison he was also a arrogant in the Lord of the Rings trilogy Viggo Mortison is playing a racist in this movie but the relationship between the two and the way they grew I loved the timeline the film takes place over like an eight or nine week period I don't know if I can believe someone can make that big of a transition in eight weeks but this is based on a loose on a true story about how in the dirty dirty saffron in the 1960s you know black people had to carry around like a green book so they wouldn't get raped tortured lynched and things like that you know that that that was just that was just America you know I'm saying you know make America great again uh this is some crap that we had to go through you know I'm saying and this film you know talks about it the best thing about this just was the performances and also the story I loved it it touched me it got me emotionally people in the theater around me were crying and things like that I love the film if you want my full review for it please go check please subscribe to my channel and go check out my full review for the film but that is number six green book coming in at number six all right guys coming at a number five this film was on my top 10 favorite list of 2018 as well and that is Creed 2 directed by mr. Stephen capo junior I love Creed 2 more than the uh the first film too and I really feel like this is you know one of the best films I would not be mad I'll be really happy if this film won best picture because all across the board it was fantastic I mean I remember often I mean maybe I had a gripe in my review but right now I can't remember but I remember having a grappler to increase one but I did not have I don't think I can remember any gripes and create two I love this film I thought it was fantastic might be Jordan Tesla Thompson's Vesta Sloan was great the story was great Felicia was great uh Victor Draga was great even the fact that we got a little bit of story uh with all the rushes and what happened at the end of Rocky 4 this was like the perfect sequel to that film it's the perfect sequel to Rocky 4 it's the perfect sequel to Creed 1 it's just a great film across the board and I love the guys and that is why it is coming in at number five on my top 10 best films of 2018 all right we are now down to the final four films 2018 this one was also on my top 10 favorite of uh 2018 and that is The Hatred Guild written and directed or directed by Mr. George Timber Jr who did Soul Food, Notorious and also Man of Honor with Cuba Good and Junior uh this film spoke to me on so many ways this film was like the perfect way to squeeze in real life and this political climate we're in into one movie to give you uh so many different perspectives on black people white people the way they view racism white supremacy I mean like uh like every every character in this movie I could point to somebody oh I know somebody like that over here I went to the high school with somebody like this I'll work with somebody like this uh uh one of my friends is like this somebody I like is like like this on both sides black white red yellow and brown on all sides it was just a great film a great story uh had a ton of American DOS in this film a ton of American the percentage of slaves uh in this film as well uh you know it was great go check out my full review for this film please also go see this film if it's still in theaters in your area because it's doing horrible at the box office but I love this film the hate you give I really do feel like the performances in the stories does put this up there to possibly win a best picture coming in at number three is a film that I slept on and I just recently saw it maybe 10 hours ago and so many people were telling me breathe you gotta see this film be you gotta see this film be you have to see this film I'm so glad I saw this film because that was right guys you was not lying especially you Cameron I don't know if you're watching this bro but you are you hit me up on Facebook sometime but that is blindspotting this film was so damn amazing oh my gosh I love the title of this film blindspotting I don't want to necessarily tell you what the title of the film means because it reveals itself in the in the in the film and I just think it'll have a more powerful impact if you see it yourself but this is a comedy crime and a drama you can't take it seriously it's being directed by a crawler's low pass astrata it's a short film it's only an hour and 35 minutes so please check it out uh Dave David digs or David the big dude who are you bro you are now on my list you are you was born in 1982 so that makes you 36 right now you'll be 37 in the new year bro I am putting you on my list like one of my favorite actors I've never seen you before you was um I see you was oh snap you was in that movie or wonder mr brand and I love wonder wonder was one of my favorite films 2017 and I remember you now but this guy right here this performance was just phenomenal I love the fact that this film right here it basically just kind of says f you to the stereotype the black stereotype of you know dreads braids that you're a thug you're a hoodlum you know you're a minister society this flips around in his head and just like you know that the kind of has to do with the title I kind of you know I gave it a little nugget right there but my goodness gracious the last scene one of the last scenes of this movie was one of the best scenes I've seen like and forever like the like this dude was going around free styling his feelings and emotion in real life and it like flows so well it was so beautiful like it was so much passion and truth and his performance you know I'm saying like it's just like there's nothing wrong with dreads and like it's not it's not dangerous it doesn't mean that you're anything and he was like man effing man this is my identity I just I bro I feel the pain that he was going through in this film it was just a great performance the performances across the board were great in this film there's a bunch of stupid characters you know I'm saying but I love this film to death I think you will too unfortunately this film right here I don't have a review for it up on my page um and you know because I just saw it not so long ago but guys it is a great film I love that I strongly recommend you see this film man I was feeling it so much it was so much pain and heart in this film and um I just got to give it to everybody not only I have to say one gripe though the only thing I did not like is the director get the permission of some brown people to say the n-word in this film I was not cool with that it kind of pissed me off I'm like whoa whoa whoa whoa I did not like that now I do now when it comes to the n-word I did like the fact that it brought to the forefront that other groups do use it behind closed doors I like how they did that um because that's just the reality of the situation but uh other than that one other thing I just wasn't feeling that or whatever uh but uh blonde spotting one of my favorite films of this year uh one of my uh best film of the year as well and this is not even on my favorite list but you know oh well all right guys we've got two films left uh coming in at number two best films of 2018 it was also my top 10 favorite top 15 favorite and that is blast clansman I got that right there baby I love this film it was freaking fantastic Spike Lee the director and the writer Jordan Pilla's producer John David Washington uh Adam Driver this film spoke to me on so many levels this the political climate that we're living in Spike Lee D.F.A. he always does his nice little dolly shot at the end I love that you know I love everything with the black panthers uh and when I was talking about this film right here I forgot somebody's name um and I want to look it up real quick um well I think it's Corey Hawkins he was in uh in a straight out of Compton let me see real quick none of my yeah Corey Hawkins he played Kwame Turei I just I love this film it just so unapologetic it was the performance is great the story was great I was having a debate with somebody a while ago about the um the um the like if this film is completely based on a true story and it may not be um and they were kind of arguing like hey well no I don't want I'm gonna keep this thing positive I love the film is one of my favorites of the year I think it was the best film of the year on the on the cover it says a stunning tour of the force by A.D. Scott in the New York Times I do agree is this a great film I really nothing I can complain about and um I really think you should see it if you want to see my full review for the film please subscribe and go check it out it is on my channel but we got blast clansman baby coming in at number two for my top 10 best film of 2018 and guys last but not definitely last and definitely not least this is uh the best film of the year to me um I really would love this film to win a best picture um if it doesn't it mean hey it is what it is but um you know I really did love this film also hold on let me just pull up something else real quick yeah that's cool right there okay guys coming in at number one for the best film of 2018 the film that I want to win best picture it was based on the novel of the same nine by brother James Barman rest apiece my brother it is written directed by baby Jenkins and that is if bill street could talk oh man this film right here this film right here I talked about how the hate you give blast clansman and blind spotting spoke to me and this bill street could talk spoke to me even more um I said before that I said this in my review I said this in my top 10 top 15 favorite of 2018 that this film right here is a textbook example of black love not only from the main two um protagonists in this film the actor and actress but the entire film itself the love and the family the love and their relationship the love and the film itself and just your fellow neighbor that was just there's just so much love in this film and but besides all the love is just the performances that complement it you know what I'm saying and about this film right here I love finding I don't think I said this in my review because I was so excited and I was geeking out I don't even cover on my notes but you know um when it comes to relationship of course the women you know of course you want a good strong looking man you know you probably possibly want him to have muscles you want him to look good physically you want him to treat you well and talk to you well and listen to you you also want good sex I mean these are givens you know but but on top of all that you know ladies you can correct me if I'm wrong I think a woman wants a mind I'm once a man that can have a stimulating conversation that can elevate her mind to a place to where she's never thought before you know someone that can just make her think and challenge her expose her to things that she's never experienced before I think that's something that a woman would appreciate and that's what Mr. Brother Stephen James Alonzo Funny Hunt did in this film and um the way it was illustrated on film you know he lit up the room uh with smiles you know just being himself and that's just something that I really do love this film right here the way that was just showing how a father or husband loves the mother in front of the children is something I think is extremely important in any family no matter what skin colors are but especially the black family with all that we go through and and they put all this in the film I mean we get dramas we get comedies we get biographies but I really can't remember how many films we get they have to do they have to do with like a deep and during a love story and this film I feel sure you could talk uh is all of that and more the soundtrack in this film the score was one of the best scores I've ever heard of my entire life not the best but one of the best I can possibly say top 10 some of you made this girth me on that front but that's perfectly fine because this is my list and if you have your own that's perfectly fine as well but I will be buying this film when it comes out brother Barry Jenkins who also he wrote and directed this like I said he also did Moonlight which won the award two years ago but this is just all around a fantastic film I loved it and I think you will too guys but let me go ahead and recap that sums up my top 10 best films 2018 my best picture content to listen coming in number 11 is the mule coming in at number 10 is a tie between Black Panther and Avengers Infinity War coming in at number nine is the Incredibles two uh number eight is a star is born number seven is a quiet place uh number six is green book number five is creed two number uh four is the hate you give number three is blindspotting number two is Blast Clansman and number one um I I think is my best film of the year is if Bill Street could talk again there are films that I haven't seen I haven't seen the favorite I haven't seen Roma I haven't seen mid 90s I haven't seen I'm saying I haven't seen a grade those are just films I've heard on other people's listening things like that I haven't seen them maybe I I probably will see them
