Fury (2014)

Movie so intense it brought me out of retirement! I'm a sucker for dark WWII flicks that add in a thick cheese filled layer of camaraderie. The actors portray a close knit tank crew wonderfully and finish with a classic ending. Drinking game: One drink when Fury fires a shot.

Fright Night (2011)

This is an ok movie to make out to. It has some cheap laughs but better than you might think. Don't drink too much because you are probably close to having sex.

Troll Hunter (2010)

Troll!!!! Classic Norwegian movie. Also the only one I have ever seen. A group of students film a secret troll hunter that works for the government. Classic found footage, classic good time!! Drink every time you learn something new about trolls or troll hunting.

Malcolm X (1992)

Decent! Malcolm makes a sudden change as a character and Denzel Washington acts this out well. I think Denzel excels at portraying assholes like in Training Day so the beginning was better. Drink every time you hear "The honourable Elijah Muhammad"

Argo (2012)

Enjoyed this a lot more than expected. It brought warmth to my cold patriotic Canuck heart. Affleck gave a Hollywood flourish to a true story that I thought was a great balance between fiction and truth. Drinking game: Drink every time someone says Canada.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969)

The original Bromance! Just saw this recently and boy it was good. I mean this is a classic Western, go watch it. Drinking game: Drink when Butch outwits someone, the Kid out shoots someone and whenever the weird love triangle makes you uncomfortable.

Django Unchained (2012)

I agree with everything fellow haters have said. Plus: I loved the soundtrack. I really liked Christoph Waltz in Basterds and this flick, I just hope he's not typecast as the quirky, silver-tongued german guy. Drinking game: Drink solemnly when the n-word is used.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012)

This is a hot topic on BR. Considering The Hobbit was a much different book than the LotR, I'd say PJ did an honest job of it, but LotR was still better. Drinking game: Drink when Thorin stares at something, people get respectively quiet or when there is mistrust among races.

Zero Dark Thirty (2012)

This is what I would think the hunt for Osama was like. However, I have a strong dislike for the cliché of a hard-working employee under the employ of an incompetent boss. Drinking game: During the final strike do as many push-ups as you can, then relax with a cheap US beer.

Killing Them Softly (2012)

Great! A simple story told with excellent writing, great characters and a bunch of dark humour. Maybe a tad slow for some people but I loved it. Bonus drinking game: Start and then finish your beer at the beginning and by the end of any scene with only two people speaking.

Wake in Fright (1971)

This movie really made me uncomfortable. The backdrop is the Australian outback and sets the scene for a man's fast descent into alcoholism and general madness. Bonus drinking game: This is easy! Just match John Grant beer for beer. Just try no to wake in fright!

Zodiac (2007)

A pretty long ride but worth it. The fact that it is a true story makes it all the more interesting. Bonus drinking game: Take a drink every time a new suspect is included. Finish your drink every time new evidence alludes to the guilt of the original suspect.

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter (2012)

Forget Daniel Day Lewis' portrayal of Lincoln. I liked this dumb patriotic action flick that has it all from poorly delivered speeches of freedom to the emancipation of the slaves and obviously vampires. Bonus drinking game: Take a swig whenever Lincoln dispatches a nightcrawler.

Skyfall (2012)

This was a HIGHLY entertaining movie. The throwbacks to earlier Bonds were pleasant but it felt a bit overdone. The ending was my favourite part! Definitely must see now or on DVD, Bonus drinking game: Take a sip of your Martini and try to be cool!

The Counterfeiters (2007)

Yea, this is a good holocaust movie. It is hard to like all the characters because they might seem a bit selfish but this is what makes the film so good and authentic. Schindler's List still horrifies me more! Bonus drinking game: Take a drink whenever a Jew dies.

Looper (2012)

A+ stuff! The trailer and name really made me not want to see this. But this sci fi was a treat. My plot expectations were completely wrong and really enjoyed the character development. Not the usual! Bonus drinking game: Drink every time Joseph purses his lips like Bruce Willis!

Paranormal Activity (2009)

I thoroughly enjoyed this horror (suspense) film. For me the horror is all in the lead up. The characters do act in typical horror movie fashion and sometimes you just want to hit them. Bonus drinking game: Take a drink every time there is paranormal activity or Micah acts dumb.

Cosmopolis (2012)

What? This film was far beyond my intellectual prowess. To me it was just a guy in a limo talking. I may have missed major plot points since I was asleep through part of it, but shouldn't it at least try to capture my attention. Bonus drinking game: Turn this off and go to a bar!

Reservoir Dogs (1992)

Makes me cringe every time I hear "Stuck In The Middle With You". Great dialogue and setting. Love the confusion of the characters and how they struggle with ethical dilemmas. Bonus drinking game: Finish 5 beers every time some one's real name is revealed or used.

The Man from Earth (2007)

The movie poses very interesting questions about a hypothetical immortal man. And according to this critic they answer them fully. Wish the ending had been left open. Acting is generally pretty bad. Bonus drinking game: Drink every time you want to forget the terrible acting.

Chronicle (2012)

Give three modern teenagers telekinetic powers and watch what happens to their lives. This found footage film tries to break stereotypical character flaws and does succeed, but definitely could have been done better. Bonus drinking game: Drink when characters look constipated.

12 Angry Men (1957)

What a classic! If you haven't already seen it then you better schedule this bad boy into your weekend plans. One guys annoying voice may make you regret it. Review over! Bonus drinking game: Drink every time someone stands up. Finish your drink when someone changes their vote.
