It knew exactly what it was doing and wasted no time doing it. A blast.<br /><br />Was also a great fan of Coherence, The Homesman and Night Moves, three films that deserved far more play than they received. And holy hell, I need to see Land Ho!

Thank you, and glad to hear you enjoyed it too. I know I can sometimes prattle on about films that maybe don't do for others what they do for me.<br /><br />Derek (Vance?): I am so utterly in the bag for Katz. In these 10 years, he's only the guy/girl to have a film land at #1 twice. He just makes films that appeal to my sensibilities. As for your question.....I was somewhat surprised I slanted so heavily toward indie fare this year. I guess I just have more access to more of everything now, not just from living in Chicago but from screeners and such, that I get more below the surface of just the buzzed stuff. Then again, "Boyhood" WAS on this list until early December when I encountered "The Homesman." Changes had to be made. I was powerless.<br /><br />Brad: I liked "Under the Skin", though perhaps not to the degree of many of my critic colleagues. But. Yeah. "Lucy." I mean, damn.Nick Priggehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17895803287589438170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17951989.post-64143319153681335972015-01-05T20:59:15.049-06:002015-01-05T20:59:15.049-06:00Not a single film on this list is on my yet-to-be-...Not a single film on this list is on my yet-to-be-posted Top 10, though <i>Coherence</i>, <i>A Most Wanted Man</i> and <i>Lucy</i> would all probably make my Top 20. And of the 3 main ScarJo films, you picked the right one. <i>Under the Skin</i> was pretty, but overrated.Wretched Geniushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05691397733214664019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17951989.post-87716738464771793952015-01-05T04:44:03.026-06:002015-01-05T04:44:03.026-06:00You are officially in the bag for Aaron Katz!

Five of those movies are in my top 25, four I haven't seen, and the other is Lucy. (Which is about #50 on my list.) To learn any more about my list, you must wait until 1/15. <br /><br />Do you consider this an "out of sync year" for yourself? Only one of your top ten do I expect to get a nomination for best picture (Grand Budapest). Not that that matters or would even necessarily be a good way to measure the year, but I'm curious whether you surprised yourself but not liking as many of the buzzed about movies as you might have in some other years. <br />Derek Armstronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13750747272647975591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17951989.post-71655806029601767192015-01-04T22:39:49.529-06:002015-01-04T22:39:49.529-06:00I watched Land Ho! because I kept seeing you tweet...I watched Land Ho! because I kept seeing you tweet about it and it was really delightful and sweet.
