The Best Films of 2021 | Awesome Friday!
•
It has been a hell of a year and a hell of a year for film. The second year of the ongoing worldwide pandemic has been a bit of a roller coaster, with wave after wave of COVID once changing the film landscape. Theatres re-opened, but people have only really gone back for the…

The Films of the DC Extended Universe Ranked, The Suicide Squad Edition | Awesome Friday
•
The Suicide Squad has been out for about two weeks now, and since this is the kind of thing the internet loves, here is how the various DC Extended Universe movies stack up for me. There are 11 films in the franchise so far, which in case it’s not clear, means I am only…

The Films of the Marvel Cinematic Universe Ranked, Black Widow Edition | Awesome Friday!
•
Well, here’s a thing that I haven’t done in quite a while. The last time I wrote out a full ranking of the films in the MCU there were only 14 entries in the franchise. Only. Now, there are 24, plus the three limited series on Disney+, and if that doesn’t sound like a lot?…

The Best Films & Performers of 2020 | Awesome Friday!
•
2020 has been a hell of a year. With theatres ending up being an unsafe place to be during an ongoing worldwide pandemic you’d think it would be a harder year for film, but looking back it’s clear that this year has been an as vibrant and diverse year for film as any other. …

My Three Favourite Christopher Nolan Films | Awesome Friday!
•
We can still get our dose of Christopher Nolan’s trademark brand of incredible practical action and obsession with time, though. The man has made eleven films to date, and most of them have one or the other or both. So to help get you through, here are my three favourite Christopher Nolan films Link:…

The Best of the Rest of the Films of 2019 | Awesome Friday!
•
It’s been a good year for film because it’s always been a good year for film. I already posted my favourite films of the year but every year there are those films that while they aren’t quite my favourite are definitely great and worth highlighting. This year I have selected ten more that you should totally…

The Best Films & Performers of 2019 | Awesome Friday!
•
Well, folks here we are at the end of the year, and what a year it has been. As always, it’s been a particularly good year for film because it’s always a good year for film. I have seen more than eighty films from 2019’s slate and believe you-me it is hard to pin…

The Best Films of 2018 | Awesome Friday!
•
I know what you’re thinking: December 2019 is a weird time to write about my favourite films of 2018. You might be right, but also there’s never a bad time to write about great movies. Last year I was on a break from blogging, this year I am back at it. See, it all…

The Best of the Rest of the Films of 2016 | Awesome Friday!
•
2016 was a good year for film; anyone who tells you differently didn’t see many movies. I’ve already posted my best films of 2016, but plenty more films didn’t make my best-of list that you should make the time to see. So then, let’s look at the not-quite best of 2016, presented here in alphabetical…

The Best Films of 2016 | Awesome Friday!
•
…it has been an excellent year for cinema. So much so that when it came time to figure out my top ten films of the year, I couldn’t get the list lower than 12 (and I narrowed it down from nearly twice that number). So, in an effort to get going again, let’s close…

The Best of the Rest of the Films of 2015 | Awesome Friday!
•
2015 was a good year! I already told you my ten favourite films from 2015, but those ten were hard to choose. My first pass over the list of movies I saw resulted in 25 candidates for the top ten, 15 of which were ultimately cut. So rather than make a worst-of list as…

The Best Films of 2015 | Awesome Friday!
•
Films that are fantastic but didn’t quite make the list include Trainwreck, Ant-Man, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation, Brooklyn, It Follows, The Martian, The Hateful Eight and (again) so many others. Ultimately, it was tough to narrow it down to just ten films because while it was…

The Best Films of 2014 | Awesome Friday!
•
All in all, I saw over 75 movies released in 2014. Not a huge percentage when you think about it but certainly more than the average person. So with all that in mind here are my favourite dozen movies from 2014. Link: https://awesomefriday.ca/2014/12/matts-2014-the-best-dozen/

The Best Films of 2013 | Awesome Friday!
•
2013 was a good year for the movies. It had its ups and downs, but in the end there was a pretty good crop of films and more than a few great ones. I’ve already revisited the films I was most looking forward to, and now it is time to look at the films I…
