86th Academy Awards
12 Years a Slave American Hustle Captain Phillips Dallas Buyers Club Gravity Her Nebraska Philomena The Wolf of Wall Street I loved all the best picture nominations this year. My only issue was with Her and I still hold that same opinion to this day of it. I haven't bothered to watch that movie again since I saw it in the theaters. It rubbed me the wrong way that badly. Movies that came out in 2013 Gangster Squad John Dies at the End Bullet to the Head Side Effects A Good Day to Die Hard Spring Breakers The Call Olympus Has Fallen G.I. Joe: Retaliation Trance The Host The Place Beyond The Pines Evil Dead Upstream Color(I haven't actually seen this but I've heard so much praise for it) Oblivion Mud Pain & Gain Iron Man 3 Star Trek Into Darkness The Great Gatsby Fast and the Furious 6 Now You See Me The Purge After Earth(don't care what you guys think I still liked it) This Is the End The Bling Ring(wasn't sure if I was going to like this but I ended up entertained at least.) World War Z The Heat White House Down(which I found to be slightly superior to Olympus Has Fallen) Fruitvale Station Pacific Rim RED 2 The Conjuring The World's End The Wolverine 2 Guns Elysium We're The Millers KickAss 2 You're Next(love love loved this) Getaway Insidious: Chapter 2 Prisoners Battle of the Year Don Jon Gravity Machete Kills Ender's Game Dallas Buyer's Club Nebraska Anchorman 2 Oldboy(also loved it...it was fine for what it was) The Secret Life of Walter Mitty Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit 47 Ronin The Wolf of Wall Street American Hustle Out of the Furnace All of the bolded ones are films that I think were overlooked at the time and didn't get the recognition that they deserved. |
Her should have won. 10/10 beautiful film. 12 Years was great too, Steve McQueen is ****ing brilliant.
|
No ****ing way!
I can't stand Her. It won way too many awards. |
Pourquoi?

He just reeked of beta male and I couldn't take it. He also made himself out to be a victim when he was pretty much the one in the wrong in the relationship with his ex.
I also didn't like the whole idea about the social commentary they wanted to make about everyone being glued to their devices so much that they ignore others around them. Blah blah blah so damn preachy. It was like an anti millennial stance. The technology is only the tool, it's based on the person and it can be used it great ways to connect you to other human beings but this film was so one sided and leaning to the other side of it. I bet baby boomers loved this movie for vilifying technology. It's just like those youtube videos that people make saying "Look Up" *yawns* boring. |

Thanks alot for the double post ****ty internet connection. |

So hard to choose a best picture from so many amazing films. For me it comes down to Only Lovers, Prisoners, Her, Upstream Color, Under The Skin, and 12 Years a Slave. I'm Ok with 12 Years actually winning but for me my gut goes with a tie between Under the Skin and Upstream Color. Both films were just so cathartic for me. Perfect science fiction, one film very dark, the other very uplifting. That was a hard choice though. |
OMG Upstream Color is amazing, didn't realize it came out that year. Prisoners was great as well.
|
Under the Skin is like top ten of all time material.
