    I voted for Passengers, thought the concept was brilliant. Spotlight tops it by a long shot. I can't speak as to the others.

    Subtitles. I can't do it. I've tried with so many, like the IP Man spin-off Master Z, but end up missing so much because I'm reading. I'm slow, I guess...

    I wish more people would watch Song of the Sea, it's such a beautiful film. Also Passengers was not that great to me either.

    I think you were the one who turned me onto Predestination a couple years ago, Mike. You should count it as one of your great accomplishments in life.

    I do, actually! It's been all downhill for me since then.

    It's one mindfuck of a film.

    This poll hasn't gotten a ton of attention, but there is still hope for First Reformed. Maybe a few people could watch it tonight. It's on Prime.

    Way, way different than Doubt.

    My thoughts after I watched it:

    First Reformed is one of the more under the radar films of 2018, but it also happens to be one of the best films of the year and features one of the best male performances of the year from Ethan Hawke. Hawke plays Reverend Toller, a solitary man who is the pastor at a failing, historic church. His living quarters are empty except for a table and chair that Toller uses to write in his journal while indulging in a heavy dose of alcohol.

    Clearly, Reverend Toller is trying to make some of the pain go away. The pain from the loss of his son and the literal pain from the cancer growing in his body. When Toller offers council to a young couple, his life begins to spiral out of control. Or does it? Some would argue that he gains clarity and purpose.

    First Reformed is the kind of film that is not for everyone. The film asks a lot of questions, the biggest is in regards to humans and our impact on the environment. How manmade climate change relates to religion is the crux of the film. First Reformed features one of the crazier final 20 minutes of a film I've seen in a long time. If you're looking for a film that will get you thinking and reflecting, then give First Reformed a shot.
