The Revenent 7.6/10: The revenent doesn't offer much in terms of story, drama, twists or turns, but does offer itself in visuals and aesthetics. I didn't really think the Revenent was an amazing movie, but it wasn't a bad movie. It just didn't really give much, it was a classic revenge story and it ended predictably. It was graphic, hard to watch at some moments, which is good in a movie, but altogether it just didn't leave you thinking. Did Leo deserve the Oscar? Yes, but not because he was great, just because he was the best of a bad bunch, this years movie season just wasn't very good in my opinion, there weren't any super captivating actor performances. So if you want to lay back, watch some beautiful scenery and some graphic gore, then this movie is just for you!
Star Wars: Episode VII: The Force awakens 8.1/10: I am not much of a star wars fan, I like the movies but I'm not obsessed with them, I was born in the time of the prequels, so as a kid that's what I watched and thus I do enjoy the prequels. I enjoy the sequels too of course, but I didn't grow up with them, either way with the prequels being your primary introduction to star wars it's safe to say that I am not entirely the biggest fan. But star wars VII awakened in me a new hope, it was actually a great movie. The movie did do a lot (possibly too much) of fan service, but the parts that weren't were still very interesting. One thing I loved about the movie is that Kylo ren truly seemed powerful, I don't think a movie has really demonstrated the power of a jedi among non-jedis like this movie has. Anytime Kylo Ren steps onto the scene, it's like anytime someone tries to fight him, it's pointless, he's just too powerful that no matter what you did, you'd lose. But of course...

Not only did star wars feature the fan service, and the power of the force, but one of the most welcomed additions to the movie for me was the humor. It was a really funny movie, there were a lot of incredible and awesome jokes, the storm troopers were funnier than ever, it was just a general great movie. Again it wasn't the best movie but it was good.
Deadpool 8.5/10: Huh.
A super hero movie made by fox that was actually amazing? I didn't think it possible. Granted I did like their original spider man series, deadpool was sort of on a whole new level. Now, they had an R-rating, sure so I was expecting some sort of violence, maybe a bit of gore added and stuff, but I wasn't quite expecting as much swearing, violence, sex and drugs. It didn't feel like a super hero movie, it just didn't fit, it felt more like a ridiculously high budget stoner comedy. And you know it was good! It wasn't what I was expecting, and I left happy. The jokes got a bit old near the end, but overall the movie really was good. And that torture scene was pretty harsh and creative.
Hail, Ceasar! 7.4/10: A classic Coen Brothers film through and through, no question, literally this coen brothers film was the most coen brothersy film of all coen brothers film. And that's not necessarily a good thing, the Coen brothers are sort of... hit and miss. This film was good, it was funny it had some good stories and some good parts but at the end of it you are just sort of left wondering... why? Like coen brothers films never seem to really have a point and sometimes that's good, like in A serious man the seemingly lack of meaning can cause some great philosophical discussion, but this film just doesn't really allow that. It just sort of is a nice camera tour around the cinema business in the golden age of cinema and that's sort of about it. It had some weird and wacky situations (eg: The main actor being kidnapped by communists) but overall it just sort of left you wondering... what the whole point was.
