Right

Birdman: this movie honestly embodied everything I enjoyed about film. I came in with high enough expectations and it blew me away. The movie conveyed a message that might've been clichéd or done before, yet it did it in a way that just reeked originality. The acting was undeniably top-notch and the screenplay was just amazing. The cinematography was revolutionary, the directing was stellar, and the plot was more or less made to cater to film buffs like myself. I enjoyed this movie to insane degrees.

Whiplash: the amount of realism and brutal honesty this movie held was just insane. I think every single film attempting at showcasing the Rocky-esque story about overcoming odds should take inspiration from this film, because it does it in a way that touches onto the real world to the extent where you forget you're watching a film. The acting was just incredibly real, you caught every reaction on the actors faces and the movie dealt with its minimal subplots outstandingly well. Not to mention the outstanding JK Simmons performance, which seemed like it was mostly ad-libbed and reminded me a lot of Full Metal Jacket's drilling instructor. This movie hit me like a harpoon honestly, and I am not even a fan of Jazz and have never played in a band before. It's just that great.

half of the brilliance of birdman is the reception it's gotten as a very bad movie. which makes it very good in a way.

birdman was literally the most meta a movie can possibly be, and brilliant in a way, but still a very bad movie.

Gone Girl was excellent. The Oscar's snubbed a lot of deserving contenders this year (surprise surprise). It was lame.

Gone Girl goes down in your estimations when you watch it for a romantic date. ;)

I'd have thought Gone Girl would be higher on everyones' lists

Boyhood was more impressive in concept than in execution, although it was still a really good movie.
over 9 years
I thought Boyhood was really great and well put together over a 12 year period in which they shot it. Arquette was amazing. Also Anything Wes Anderson does is fantastic cause hes a awesome So Grand was amazing. Birdman was also very good

I saw 22 jump street late at night on friday and it was really really fun, there was a ton of drunk people and everyone was laughing and doing stuff during the movie
