 Hey guys, so this is my top 10 list of 2016 we've had an absolutely shitty year in terms of celebrity deaths We had a pretty dismal summer blockbuster season However, everything kind of around summer was really decent now my list admittedly will be a little bit different I kind of got really sick and tired of the the superhero Ness like they were all they were credible films, but they were just so I don't know There's gonna be definitely gonna be one thing you'll see right off the bat That's probably gonna make you all a little bit pissed, but I don't know. That's just how I felt I really enjoyed certain different films and definitely my top ones are gonna make you all go What the hell but either way here is my top 10 list I'm gonna do my honorable mentions first and then I'll get into it There's no real order of the honorable mentions. This is what I thought starting off the list We're gonna do with honorable mentions of lights out. Now. I really enjoyed this film. I like the concept It was a really straightforward very basic film the whole concept of just using the dark I was terrified of the dark when I was a kid. So this movie really hit me on a on a core I didn't do a review for it mainly because I thought I think the last week he came out But I did enjoy this movie and it's a very simple film But I think it was a good idea with this premise another horror film on my list is Ouija origin of evil now talk about a guy Taking an absolutely shit first film and doing everything better in Every single way This film was done amazingly well The director is well known for taking different Taking different angles of horror and he proved it once again. This is a very story-driven very character-driven horror film It's not so much scary the idea of it is scary But really I was not expecting anything as good as this and I was very happy with that another honorable mention is Midnight special midnight special was a really cool film done by Jeff Nicholas. I enjoyed it I admit that it ended a little bit unresolved for my liking. I kind of wanted a little bit more I did like everything leading up to I thought there was some really cool character drama And I enjoyed the film and then spectral spectral was a Netflix original that was black hog down meets ghostbusters. It was kind of silly, but it took itself seriously and it kind of worked the characters weren't really Fleshed out and watching it a second time. It wasn't as cool because the film really had this visual Dramaticism to it, but I still thought it was a good watch and my final honorable mention This is gonna piss off a lot of you is civil war I thought civil war was good, but honestly the whole superhero thing is just I'm just kind of sick of it. I've just kind of it's worn out for me I admit that this had some absolutely fantastic action scenes and the character drama was really cool Except there was a few things that just thought were really silly about the movie how Tony Stark was motivated by a black kid Who died in a country that he had nothing to do with not the whole city being up and Drop that back down to earth by a robot He created are the team getting in trouble for a bomb for what's that crossbones blowing up and What's Scarlett which not being able to stop some of the Bob, you know She only saved more people than were killed But whatever and then the hypocrite general saying you know what we should do this Like there was a lot of things that Were cited towards Captain America. I'm actually team Iron Man in all honesty But a lot of the narrative moved towards him and it could have been a little bit more Narrow if I am in my opinion still really good film though really enjoyed it So now we're getting it into the top ten number ten on this list is Deadpool now You're wondering why did I just say all that thing about civil war? But I'm saying this for Deadpool Deadpool was absolutely hysterical It was a funny character film and it was absolutely incredible to watch with Ryan Reynolds Pulling joke after joke after joke This was the funniest movie of the year for me and I rarely see comedies, but this one is absolutely hysterical It was different sure it followed the same formula as most heart as most comic book films But at least it was something refreshing and I enjoyed watching it for the humor and the character aspect Whether I'll be as much on board with the second one if they do it the same way I don't know, but we'll see number nine is ten Cloverfield Lane now talk about a movie that I actually went in Thinking was gonna be garbage because I thought that they were purely just doing this for money reasons But little did I know everything up until the last Ten minutes was related to a really good story An absolutely incredible character drama John Goodman is absolutely horrifying He should deserve a nomination, but he won't But he was probably one of the most perplexing characters of the year in terms of film I enjoyed his presence on the film as much as I hated him his character Every aspect of this film answered a question before I even when I was thinking something He would answer it and then take me in a totally different direction I didn't like the whole end with the whole alien dog thing I thought that part was stupid it ruined the aspect the mystery of the film But otherwise I really did enjoy ten Cloverfield Lane I even blocked the special Blu-ray when it came out number eight is moonlight now moonlight was an exceptional character drama This was a film that followed a young African boy growing up in a departed low-income area of Florida and then dealing with his own Basically his own inner wants and basically where his position in life is and I thought this was an absolutely fantastic character drama the Main thing that I kept on thinking is this is boyhood, but it's shorter and it has a point and As it's not as high up on my list because of how depressing The material is it's not something you're just gonna like I know I'm gonna watch moonlight pop that in blood. Hmm. Yeah You know what let's watch it again It's definitely a draining film But it is still a masterfully well made and it had great character actors and I think that this film blew me away I did not have any intention of seeing it But I was really happy to and that's why it's number eight on the list number seven is hacksaw Ridge hacksaw Ridge Was proving that Mel Gibson can still make a really good movie and holy crap can war be scary I haven't seen a film on this level of brutality for World War two obviously since saving Private Ryan and Also, Andrew Garfield really proved to me that he is a good actor. I've kind of thought he's in For the longest time But this movie really proved to me his character prowess and like I said Mel Gibson You know what you blew everyone away with an absolutely masterful film You showed the horrors of war but you also showed an absolutely amazing individual Being able to do something so extraordinary in such a depressing and horrifying time So that's why hacksaw Ridge is number seven number six now some of you may be surprised of where it is considering how much I liked it is Rogue one Rogue one was Phenomenally well done. I really enjoyed it. Are there issues with the film? Yes, however as a narrative structure as a character structure as a film of Ingenuity and difference in the Star Wars universe. It was something refreshing an answer to store a question We've had for 40 years and it really Brought on new characters and it showed that the Star Wars universe isn't just Jedi and Sith It is people in part and the rebellions aspect of them being a multifaceted Organization, I like that commander Kralik is still one of my favorite villains of the year So really did enjoy this film It blew me away because I thought it was gonna suck balls Gareth ereds You did very well my friend then there's a rival which is number five this movie was Absolutely crazy good in terms of its narrative purpose the idea of trying to Deconstruct an alien language that has no real resemblance not even more so of language or speak but in form are in speaking is That was probably the most interesting aspect of arrival in my opinion to navy anew still is one of the best directors in the business I am so happy and so excited to see blade Blade Runner 2489 because of this guy film was really well done Amazing character drama a really good science fiction film number four is the nice guys Now I didn't do a review for this because I was away in a hundred mile And I didn't get to see it in theaters because it was only in theaters for very short time It bombed. However, this is another Shane black absolute classic And I think that this is probably one of my favorite Ryan Gosling roles He and Russell Crowe had amazing chemistry. The whole story was absolutely hysterical I was laughing almost as much as I did in Deadpool. It was a great character drama a great Detective buddy film However, the one thing that prevents it from being from the top is it follows the same kind of formula that Shane black films always do and It's not a bad formula, but he actually has Essentially created his own Formula and I'm kind of waiting for him to kind of go something different But either way the nice guys definitely deserves number four number three is a movie that may surprise a lot of people is The accountant I liked this movie. I know it has 57% on rotten tomatoes But really from a narrative creative standpoint, this film was different It had a great performance from Ben Affleck doing a savant Who is a man who not only is a banker but a trained killer and those aspects you'd never thought would work There was a romance with Anna Kendrick, which I thought would fall flat on its feet But it worked because it didn't fully form to the way you thought the violence aspect I thought would take over but if anything it was a side-along part and Just the whole character the whole narrative JK Simmons character was totally different from what I expected This whole movie was different from what I expected. I enjoyed it There were a little few narrative flaws John Lithgow as the villain was a little weird But I really enjoyed the accountant because it was different because it was engaging and because it was cool Now number two is La La Land. La La Land. I just saw it admittedly. I Am still reeling from the La La Landness, but this movie is so good It is a musical and I'm not big on musicals. It has ingenuity It has its own form of homage and creativeness to it the characters of Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone are absolutely incredible Could you stop texting me and everything else about this movie was just incredible to watch the musical numbers are amazing I already bought the soundtrack. I really did enjoy this film both from a visual film making and a character perspective It's a love story that gives its own little twist and it's probably one of the most memorable musicals I've seen in the last 10 years I'm that serious Damian Chazelle is an amazing director. He He knocked it out of the park with whiplash and he has done it once again with La La Land Now you're probably thinking what's my number one. I said it when I watched it Kubo in the two strings is my number one film now before you go. Hey, that's a kids movie This isn't a kids movie. This is not a kids movie This film is a painstakingly well made stop-at-motion animation film I have immense respect for those people who work on this the amount of time and effort that goes into making a single frame is Insane and this film had so much dedication So much heart was put into it the narrative ideal was absolutely incredible to watch The characters of monkey beetle and Kubo were so well done The voice acting was a phenomenal and this film had maturity to it beyond anything I could have expected it talked on it touched on aspects such as death loss of family memory loss mental issues and Loneliness and just the idea of having a purpose in life and dealing with the fact of loss of life And this film is a fantastic film for children who are still coming with the cut coming to the question of why do we die and It also has amazing a nerve adult themes to it that work well and I loved Kubo in the two strings I watched it immediately after I got it on blue right and I loved it just as much I laughed at the same jokes that Rarely happens when I've seen a joke. I usually rarely laugh at it again as much as I do and I love this movie. I Think that Kubo in the two strings is an animated film that should be held as a cornerstone And I'm upset that it made as little money as it did because that means the studio may be in trouble I hope not. I will definitely see whatever they make next anyway guys. That is my top 10 list I know it's a little unorthodox, but that's honestly what I thought 2016 had a really interesting year. I may do a list of bad movies this year But I might keep doing the movies you forgot you saw But I definitely really want to talk about how much I did not like X-Men apocalypse. So anyway guys, that's all for me I hope you enjoyed this list. I hope you've enjoyed the reviews. Thank you all for watching my channel I went up and subscribers this year It's not a lot for some but for me was a big huge boost and all in all 2016 has been a really weird year for me with all the traveling and all the moving and the moving back So I'm really hoping the 2017 is a lot more solitary a lot more Station anyway guys, that's all for me See you in 2017
