Bob's 2016 BOFCA Ballot

As I imagine most are aware, I'm a member and currently the Chairman of the Boston Online Film Critics Association, which late Friday night undertook voting for its year-end film awards. The results of said awards can be viewed HERE, and I invite you to share them as widely as you are able - every little bit helps.


Individual member ballots will be posted to the main BOFCA site at an upcoming date, but until then members are free to share their ballots as they see fit. After the jump, you can see mine:

NOTE: The BOFCA voting system using a weighted and ranked ballot, similar to an "instant runoff" system in electoral politics. What this means is that a choices are listed in order of preference, and winner's are determined not only by which choices occurred only the most ballots but also "narrowed down" based on how they were ranked.

Honestly, if DC just cannot make quality superhero flicks, a small part of me just wants their movies to fail so hard that it kills the franchise, so as stop oversaturating the superhero genre. Of course, by making so much money regardless of what people say, that is not happening anytime soon. Let's get back to the film itself. If you hate Suicide Squad, that's fine by me; it is completely understandable. In many ways, it does deserve the panning t. DC just cannot get their stuff together no matter how hard they tr...

Top 13 Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) Movies: Part 1

Captain America: Civil War blew all our minds last month with an emotionally gripping story of the MCU being split apart. Now it is time to re-rank the Top 13 Marvel Cinematic Universe films yet again. However, to my surprise, my opinions of many of the films have gradually changed over time after re-watching each one, so this list is a bit different than my previous ones, even if there are some similarities.  13: The Incredible Hulk The black sheep of the MCU, The Incredible Hulk has faded into obscurity almost to the point where it is barely considered canon. Sure, it is occasionally referred, but many aspects of the film just do not fit with the rest of the MCU. Part of this is due to Edward Norton not returning in The Avengers, which led to Mark Ruffalo redefining the film version of the Hulk/Banner to astounding success. As for the film itself, The Incredible Hulk is a fun film. Nothing about it is remarkable, but it tells a classic Hulk story of Banner running from them ...
