“It’s like ‘CSI: New Mexico” in here.”

I’m really glad this show is back right now.

Blade Runner 2049 had enough absolutely gorgeous scenes that I think at least one should be on the list.

There are so many good scenes in Lady Bird that’s it’s difficult to choose. I would like to mention the scene of Lady Bird’s father finding out his son is applying for the same position and taking the time to fix his son’s tie before he goes into the interview. That was the moment I realized how well it captured the…

I would have rather not have Colin Firth back instead of killing Mark Strong’s character. This was definitely the highlight of the movie for me.

Yeah, this is actually a fairly consistent critique of the Marvel films, and I have to say that the sentiment is growing in me as well. The films basically rely on having a collection of 18-charisma people interacting in ways that seem very charming and sweet, and the actors sell the heck out of it. But the scripts…

The 9/11 conversation from The Big Sick came to mind such great delivery from Kumail, that joke kills every single time. And the duo Romano/Hunter were so likeable

And what about the opening of the movie?

The “dad talk” was genuinely tense and scary. Toomes wasn’t really in the movie a whole lot, but scenes like that helped make him as complex and frighting as Jeff Bridges in Iron Man: The First One.

I, too, was surprised the grapefruit scene and the mother! baby scene didn’t make this list. Honestly, the grapefruit scene would have been my number one choice! 

I thought the first scene of Valerian was its best also. As a matter of fact, the first 3 or 4 scenes were the best in the whole movie. That’s not a great formula for a movie. It went slightly downhill after the market scene. But, the opening scene gave you chills, and VERY high hopes for the movie.

It’s also rather funny that another movie on this list, Baby Driver, used the same conceit when buying guns that John Wick 2 did. In BD’s case, discussing the guns as if they were parts of a hog. Everything but the squeal.

The reveal of X-23/compound escape, Logan - Even if you already know what Laura can do, this is just a perfectly paced reveal/action sequence, including the hilarious subversion of the stock notion of driving a car through a fence.

I nominate Danny Boyle’s T2 Trainspotting finale chase sequence from the club where Mark Renton (Ewan McGregor) & Begbie (Robert Carlyle) recognize each other in the club bathroom in the funniest bit of the year followed by the most intense and harrowing chase sequence of 2017. This leads into the most underrated…

Baby Driver is the year’s most overrated movie.

LOVED that scene in Logan.

I loved Dunkirk, but thought the Spitfire landing at the end was literally the worst part of the movie. He didn’t bail the second he cleared his troops? Just glide on and on until it naturally lands? Nah.

I just made a similar comment. I still think about several Dunkirk scenes, including the Spitfire landing. It’s almost like no critics remember it all of a sudden come year-end lists. If it came out this month we’d all be back to discussing what a triumph it was. And Blade Runner was a collection of very distinct…

This article only reminds me of how much I loved Phoenix.

Man, in Good Time... when he starts making out with the teenager it was super shocking but had like, a logical reason for happening. And then they move to the bed and it puts Pattinson’s scheming character in a new light (which is good, because without it, his assault on Barkhad Abdi would feel out-of-character).
