I enjoyed Dallas Buyers Club and Silver Linings Playbook, but not enough to vote them through this far. Blue Jasmine's my only vote here.

Those are the only ones I voted for.

It Comes At Night was very atmospheric and tense, but it was missing a key ingredient or 2 to really push it into memorable territory.

Based on my recollection, one of the key missing ingredients was that nothing actually "comes at night." I did't vote for it.

I saw it years ago but can't even remember what it was about. End of the world? A virus? I guess that's telling of its impression on me. :lol:

I thought Blue Jasmine was a very good movie. Too bad it will drop out here.

A film that really suffered from its trailer. Many of us went in expecting something completely different.

Yes, probably the most misleading trailer I've ever seen. Still confused as to why they even released a trailer like that. I can understand trying to appeal to a certain crowd of people, but if that's not what the film is, then it's only going to lead to a lot of hate and confusion from the moviegoers. I wonder what the filmmakers thought of the trailer once it was completed and why, or if, they were ok with it.

I thought what came at night was mistrust, suspicion, fear and finally disintegration. I liked it.
