I will say this - I thought Kitsch did just fine in Lone Survivor.  True, he's not the lead so he doesn't have to carry the movie. But as a supporting player he was dandy, and I didn't think of John Carter or Battleship once. smile

Update - saw Captain Phillips last night.  Solid movie and Hanks nails it like always, but it didn't change my Top Five.   

Tonight - Inside Llewyn Davis.  The Coens have always been hit-or-miss with me but when they hit, it's usually a home run.  Fingers crossed...

Agreed- although my personal fave from PT Anderson is still Boogie Nights, Magnolia is a fascinating piece of work with many outstanding performances.   Everybody's good in it, but the true standout for me is Melora Walters.  The way Anderson chooses to end the movie with one long take of Walters reacting to John C. Reilly without even letting us hear what he's saying is just fantastic.

For me, Mud, Prisoners, The Way Way Back, Nebraska, and This Is The End were all enjoyable and watchable - which (unfortunately) is an achievement in itself these days.  None of them made me think "I'm gonna watch this again someday" but none of them made me hate the movie business either.

Could only stand about five minutes of Kill Your Darlings, but I'll probably give it another chance.   Still need to see American Hustle, Catching Fire, Hobbit, Wolf of Wall Street and a few others.

Special case: just saw Lone Survivor, which is actually a 2014 film I guess.  Liked it well enough, and those who are into military porn are likely to love it.  And if it's a choice between Peter Berg using his talents to make movies like this and The Kingdom vs movies like Battleship, then I definitely choose Lone Survivor.

In no particular order

All Is Lost
Gravity
Oblivion
Dallas Buyer's Club
We're the Millers

Honorable Mention: Blackfish, Europa Report, Stories We Tell, Monsters U

Still a number of movies I haven't caught up with yet, so the list may change.

That's pretty much my guess at this point as well - although I would be happier to see Oblivion than Star Trek on that list.
