After his interesting, but unsuccessful, debut for LRF Animus, Nichols has managed quite the streak of great (and successful films) with the Scion trilogy, Superman: The Man of Tomorrow, and now Coma. He has definitely established himself as an A-List director with this one.
2. Coma
Coma was a great thriller, plain and simple. The plot moved quickly and the story did a good job of keeping its cards close to its vest as I was never sure who the true villain was until the reveal. Plus, it provided a great female lead role for Elizabeth Olsen.
1. Excalibur
I LOVED Excalibur. Great casting. Plus, between the vision of director Nicolas Winding Refn, the entertaining script by Roy Horne, and the haunting electronic soundtrack, this one felt like a truly unique film even though it is a remake and based on a legendary, well-known story.
This season has been a rare season in that the box office hasn't been dominated by the studio's various franchises, but rather by a string of very profitable mid-budget films.
2. Talking Dogs
I knew I was definitely not into the new Maximum Ride film when the dog started talking...
1. Maximum Ride: School's Out Forever
Speaking of which, I did not care for this film. It's probably more a case of me not being the target audience than it being completely awful. I don't recall especially hating the first film, but this one felt like a poor follow-up that moves away from the more entertaining aspects of the first film.
