Excuse me?! Adult Kevin is MUCH cuter than Child Kevin and Teenage Kevin. It's impossible to walk away from act 3 without a man crush on Andre Holland.

So the Blackcoat's Daughter thing the AV Club keeps raving about? Well it seems to have been on Netflix UK since last year, only called February instead. It's not bad. Agreeably eerie, with some dull bits but plenty unnerving ones as well. I Am the Pretty Thing that Lives in the House had plenty of the former, not

His aged wisdom could even be translated into buffoonishness at the drop of the hat. His brief turn in Melancholia is some kind of 2 minute masterclass in cringe comedy, and stands in wonderfully stark contrast to his serenity in other roles, like Marlowe in Only Lovers and Gilliam in Snowpiercer.

Hell, his voice made even Dogville sound enchanting. There was little he couldn't do with it.

I literally just watched his death scene in Only Lovers Left Alive, and honestly stopped to wonder how much longer we'd have him for. The man had one of the single strangest and most distinct careers of any great character actor I know of, popping up in BBC productions one minute and Jim Jarmusch, Lars Von Trier and

Christ, how much energy is the AV Club committing to this one stupid quandary? It's almost like people have different opinions or something.

Was it not implied that he had died? Chiron's mum said she hadn't seen Theresa, "since the funeral".

It also had around 4 worthy candidates for Best Supporting Actor, but I guess most of them spoke in heavy Japanese accents, so….

Controversial opinion: It was entirely average.

Got to see Split with a packed late night audience, which is really the only way to see it. The flashbacks push a kinda icky exploitation factor, but for the most part it's really enjoyable hokum. Makes strong use of it's low budget, Anya Taylor-Joy's amazing face and James McAvoy's versatility. Solid stuff.

I'm all in for Unbreakable 2 having David Dunn consult Elijah Price Lecter style on how to defeat the Horde. Price and the Horde can even have a secret Red Dragon-ish correspondence. I'm strangely hyped at the possibilities of this B-movie franchise. Maybe the next one can have Oscar Isaac as creepy twins who get a

Isn't that way of thinking basically applicable to every movie with actors in it that have been in other things, AKA every movie?

Though it hardly matters, I'll say that the greater credibility of Deadpool as an awards contender over Silence is funny. But not funny Ha Ha. More like funny Doonesbury. I'll also say that while Silence is no Oscar bait, it deserves far more recognition than either Nocturnal Animals or Hacksaw Ridge. Probably because

Just fucking watch Penny Dreadful, ok?

People say Silence is entirely bloodless and lacking in humour, but Ogata's speech about the four concubines made me chuckle quite a bit. His performance was so big and pronounced that it had no business working as well as it did, and the Interpreter's arrogant swagger was a perfect foil.

Saw Silence. While the first half is kinda scattershot and silly in bits, as soon as it focuses up in the second half it becomes fascinating, even hypnotising. Issei Ogata and Tadanobu Asano give two of my favorite performances of last year.

I haven't seen Moonlight, Manchester, La La Land or Silence yet, so this basically doesn't qualify, but for now:

So the twist is that they were in fact what the marketing said they'd be?

The Water Falls scene in Paterson gets my vote, though that movie has dozens of candidates.

American Honey's great and he's great in it.
