The Hunt was very powerful and also disturbing. <br />Far From the Madding Crowd won me over with story and characters. I was ok with Tom Sturridge. Maybe if I had seen other adaptations of the book I would feel differently about his performance. Was my first encounter with the story.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395044055566348346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1619249406686227577.post-5517263283980357222015-12-09T07:58:35.823-08:002015-12-09T07:58:35.823-08:00Woo hoo!!

I love most of Far From the Madding Crowd, but the miscasting of Tom Sturridge as Sgt Troy nearly ruined the film for me, I just don't believe him in that character as someone Bathsheba would throw everything for. I was far more impressed w/ Vinterberg's The Hunt.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06313168799746450979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1619249406686227577.post-58886073463341765872015-10-12T02:19:47.142-07:002015-10-12T02:19:47.142-07:00@Josh: Thanks, great we have a few overlaps in our...@Josh: Thanks, great we have a few overlaps in our top 10s this year!Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395044055566348346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1619249406686227577.post-91491949903973006082015-10-08T05:58:51.438-07:002015-10-08T05:58:51.438-07:00Great list!

I hope they make a sequel and go further with fleshing out the characters. <br />I need to check out Don Hertzfeldt's other work, World of Tomorrow is one of the best short films I've ever watched.<br />Regarding Going Clear, another blogger, Luke, told me about the book the documentary is based on, which goes deeper: <br />http://reflectionsonwire.blogspot.com/2015/05/going-clear-book-and-film.html<br />Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395044055566348346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1619249406686227577.post-66906080274010507952015-09-09T11:43:29.040-07:002015-09-09T11:43:29.040-07:00I've only seen a handful of these -- Mad Max, ...I've only seen a handful of these -- Mad Max, Going Clear, Kung Fury, and Ex Machina. Out of them, Mad Max is easily my favorite, though I quite enjoyed Kung Fury and Ex Machina. I thought Going Clear was good but a little disappointing.

The Cobain doc was captivating, although I wasn’t too keen on segments with the fast editing when they revealed his diary and drawings(which is why Montage of Heck missed the top 10) Glad you are a fan of Kung Fury as well!Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395044055566348346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1619249406686227577.post-80579285365468434772015-09-09T00:24:14.287-07:002015-09-09T00:24:14.287-07:00@Luke: Thank you!
