15. Gravity (2013)
Seeing this in 3D in the theater was a
marvel. Beautiful images, haunting
sounds (or lack thereof), a reminder of the beauty and peril of space
flight. Unfortunately the closer you
look at it the more issues arise. I
still do not understand why they made her a doctor, why she would be working on
the Hubble, and why someone else would have to explain to her medical things. For the experience alone, I figured it was
worth a top-15 choice.
14. Looper (2012)
A brutal film, that bends the mind's
idea of time travel. Joseph
Gordon-Levitt is brilliant as a young Bruce Willis. I was completely sucked in, even if the
ending was a not quite what I expected.
13. The Road (2009)
I am a big fan of survival films and
post-apocalyptic films. This is one of
the best of both worlds. I love that
there is no explanation needed for the apocalypse, it just happened and now
this man and his son have to deal with it.
It does not hurt that one of my favorite actors has a cameo.
12. Predators (2010)
So maybe I have this a little high
because I wanted for so long to see a good Predator movie in the theater. This was a great attempt at rebuilding the
franchise destroyed by the AVP movies. I
am hopefully that more sequels will come expanding on a truly interesting
universe.
11. Snowpiercer (2014)
This movie is not for everyone. It is
difficult to watch at times, but that was what kept me in it. Chris Evans shows here that he is a
legitimate actor. It is also one of
those movies, like Memento, that not enough people have seen and those who have
love it. I would like to see more
American directors take chances like foreign ones.
