Miss Congenitality
From sea to shining sea, Like Lady Liberty, She reigns over all she seeeeees, She’s beauty and she’s grace, She’s Miss United States… Sixteen years and I still remember it. This movie is golden. Good old Sandra Bullock.

In the Heart of the Sea
I mean, Thor is in it, so I was never not going to like it. Also, all of the scenes featuring the whale are incredible, and it’s the story that inspired Melville to write Moby Dick. So yeah, it’s good.

The Hateful Eight
What I love about Tarantino is that, despite his love for gratuitous blood and gore and overtly racist—and this time misogynistic—dialogue, he’s a subversive genius. It’s like he’s going around violently flipping tables (ALL THE REVENGE) in order to reveal the larger issue hidden underneath (slavery in Django Unchained is the most obvious example), but his…

Deadpool
So. Much. Hilarity. From opening credits to closing, Deadpool was riotously funny, wickedly inappropriate, and unexpectedly sentimental. My favourite (PG-13) line: “Funny I only ever see the two of you [at X-Mansion]. It’s like the studio can’t afford another X-Man.”

Song of the Sea
What an exquisite movie. Not only is the animation absolutely gorgeous, the story is adorable, entertaining, and beautifully Irish. A children’s movie for all ages.
