@JamesGunn @tyler_bates

Settle a bet. Was "Space Chase" in #GotGVol2 temped with either James Bond or Star Wars? Or something else?

@RobCairns13 @RobinHepwood Is it more or less tragic as two 23 year olds...? #FilmChums (@FilmChumPodcast) #shamelessplug

[Josh Youngman @JoshJYoungman]

We don't need @RobCairns13 or @RobinHepwood for a "Good" Episode!!!

Obviously the only list you need to follow is mine, @RobCairns13 and @RobinHepwood 's dissenting opinions are clearly superfluous... https://t.co/6VQsAIHFwX

In #TheLEGOBatmanMovie 1 bit of animation is not constructed from digital Lego. This is its 1 flaw, the rest is a laugh-a-second thrillride.

[Josh Youngman @JoshJYoungman]

While I disagree with the glorification of war present in a couple of #HacksawRidge scenes, the film's raw emotional power is undeniable.

[Josh Youngman @JoshJYoungman]

#LaLaLand is truly a living and breathing film. Filled with such a passion and flair, it's effortless to be swept up in The City of Stars...

[Josh Youngman @JoshJYoungman]

#theeaglehuntress is a beautifully enthralling documentary of a young Mongolian falconer that is ridiculously more engaging than it sounds.

[Josh Youngman @JoshJYoungman]

#Moana is a beautiful, competent and predictable retelling of The Hero's Journey. Yet the evocative music and tone is enough to forget this.

[Josh Youngman @JoshJYoungman]

I'm conflicted about #amonstercalls while the emotional highlights are well deserved, more often than not the movie plays rather flat...

[Josh Youngman @JoshJYoungman]

#Sully is the most workmanlike film this year. If you're looking for an uncomplicated, straight-laced and straight-talking film, this is it.

[Josh Youngman @JoshJYoungman]

#IAmBolt is a functional and formulaic Documentary. While it's impossible to hate thanks to Usain Bolt; it's also difficult to really like.

[Josh Youngman @JoshJYoungman]

Esoteric, unwaveringly slow paced, but ultimately satisfying #Paterson is stylistically and thematically reflected in its central character.

[Josh Youngman @JoshJYoungman]

It's easy to admit how maudlin and yet saccharine #Allied is, but that's not a negative. Cotillard and Pitt shine through in a solid drama.

[Josh Youngman @JoshJYoungman]

#AUnitedKingdom deserves the same praise as @AmmaAsante 's previous film Belle. A powerful story; shot, performed and directed beautifully.

[Josh Youngman @JoshJYoungman]

#FantasticBeasts is awash with @jk_rowling 's narrative and tonal signatures, beautiful visuals and compelling characters. Need I say more?

[Josh Youngman @JoshJYoungman]

#Arrival perfectly utilises the medium of film and everything that medium can do for storytelling. Preemptively this may be this years best!

[Josh Youngman @JoshJYoungman]

#TheLightBetweenOceans perfectly fits into D. Cianfrance's oeuvre. An intimately told epic, brimming with emotion and powerful performances.

[Josh Youngman @JoshJYoungman]

#NocturnalAnimals is both a chilling character study and a nail biting thriller. Each story is seemingly well defined, an absolute must see.
