Abysmal?! I take it you haven't seen Moonlight, The Handmaiden, Certain Women, Cameraperson, Voyage of Time, and 13th? (Also, I didn't love American Honey, but it sure is something.)

A lot of that hasn't hit out here yet
my local theaters art selection has been slacking. And I loved American Honey, which unfortunately, is the only real film of substance I've seen in a while.Expendable.

Ah, well then I'd agree the wide releases have been mostly trash. Although I kind of liked Sully, which was even shocking to myself.

I guess the "two women vacationing at a remote location to rekindle an old friendship thriller" is a legitimate subgenre now.

Arrival is all I care about this month. I'm so excited!

Elle was pretty good, finally I movie I was able to see earlier. If Billy Lynn's Halftime Walk would have been in 120 fps here I definitely would have watched it, but now I don't think I will.
I'll most definitely be watching Arrival though. Probably Moana and Hecksaw Ridge too.

For sure. September and October were a joke for me. Literally almost nothing to see. Like I only saw Jack Reacher 2 because me and my sister wanted to go to the movies and I saw Anthrapoid because Cilian Murphy is a cool cat and it's local story (of course Hollywoodized but still)

Damn I might just live at the movie theater this month. Wonder how many of these will actually show near me though.

Probably Doctor Strange, Hacksaw Ridge, Manchester by the Sea, The Edge of Seventeen and a couple of others. I have five free movie tickets.
EDIT: Going to see Ouija 2 tonight.

Interesting. I've been meaning to watch that movie but had no idea what it was about.

Most movies hit VOD three months after theaters. Out of this list, Always Shine and Dog Eat Dog hit VOD right around the same time as theatrical release.

Doc Strange, Fantastic Beasts and Arrival. Can't stand hideous western animation designs, so I'll skip Moana.

I thought October was a good month. Doctor Strange, I, Daniel Blake, American Honey. Good shit.

I'm surprised no one's mentioned the one film containing a scene juxtaposing black and white cinematography with striking color highlights which just may be the most emotional and affecting cinematic experience since Schindler's List.

All in for Moana!
I hope you're all ready for 'Let It Go 2' with 'How Far I'll Go.' That's the credits version - here's a snippet of the song from the actual movie from a singing Moana doll.

The trailer made it come off as a bit formulaic and trite. Good to hear its worth watching.
Expendable.

The trailer is quite a bad representation of the movie. Makes it seem like Oscar Bait 101.

It's one of the funniest films of the year about grieving!

Nocturnal Animals -- wide on December 9
Manchester by the Sea, Loving, Miss Sloane, and Elle -- best guess is wide by mid-December

Arrival for sure. I'm in for anything Villeneuve after Prisoners and Sicario, both of them are modern greats.

First of all, seeing MOONLIGHT this weekend, finally coming to Houston. Probably seeing Hacksaw Ridge later that day.
Next weekend is Arrival definitely, a maybe on Doctor Strange. Wanna go the second weekend after the crowd dies down a bit.
Edge of Seventeen is said to be good by voices I actually trust, and even if Billy Lynn is a bust I need to see the new Ang Lee film in good ol' 2D.
I'm rather interested in Allied, and Moana as well but I gotta go the Alamo Drafthouse or some shit cuz kid movies on the first weekend is
The rest of the limited releases I'll see in Dec/January. Nocturnal Animals, Manchester-By-The-Sea, Loving, Elle...then there's Jackie, Star Wars, La La Land, Silence, Paterson, 20th Century Women, Live by Night, Fences...this cinematic year might be worth a damn after all

Got to see Elle last month, which was pretty amazing. It moves back-and-forth between comical and traumatic elements really well.
Looking forward to these releases from this month:
Manchester by the Sea
Arrival
The Edge of Seventeen
Billy Lynn
Moana
Loving
From last month that I haven't seen yet:
The Handmaiden
Moonlight
American Honey
Also, maybe:
Nocturnal Animals
Miss Sloane

This is the first I'm hearing of a new Verhoeven movie! Awesome!
Yeah, the trailer does not really represent the tone of the movie at all.

Hyped as hell for Arrival. Totally my kind of movie, from what I've seen.
Excited for Dr. Strange as well. Curious to see how much I like Fantastic Beasts. The setting and cast are great but it hasn't entirely grabbed me for some reason. Hoping Moana is a fun as it looks. Lastly, Miss Sloane could be interesting. Not sure if I'll catch it in a theater though.
Billy Lynns Long Halftime Walk looks like patriotic wank if the trailer is any indication. Definitely not feeling that one. OTOH, it's by Ang Lee, so I don't know.

I just saw Edge of Seventeen last night and consider me shocked at how good it was. The trailers kind of sell as a been-there, done-that coming-of-age movie, but it so perfectly nails the feeling of teenage angst (and even depression) around that time. Definitely the biggest surprise of 2016 for me.

If I see anything at all it will be Doctor Strange. I'm not really feeling it at the moment though.

Represented some of the humor pretty well but yeah you're right.
Best lead performance I've seen in a while. Affleck is too fucking good at this. Also surprisingly funny movie about grieving, but I love how subtle the acting is from casey. The rest of the cast is good too. Michelle Williams and Chandler are of course great but that kid is a surprise. I think he'll have a dope future ahead of him. Definitely gonna catch that movie again in theaters when it releases more wide. Because although it is pretty emotionally heavy it also has a good sense of humor and was just great to sit through because of that.
Hella movies this month. Arrival, Hacksaw Ridge, Moana, Elle, Loving,Nocturnal Animals
Will wait on VOD for the others that interest me (edge of seventeen, Billy lynn and fantastic beasts)
God damn. A lot of interesting stuff but just looking at that list is exhausting haha

Better than The Diary Of A Teenage Girl?

Oooh, it's very close. They are both great. Do I have to choose? I'd say the themes Edge of Seventeen deals in with friendship (or lackthereof) is more relatable to both sexes whereas Teenage Girl felt very much from a female point-of-view and primarily about sexuality.
