Being a wrestling fan, I was overall very happy with The Iron Claw, especially how the British actor who portrayed David Von Erich, sounded and looked just like him. It was eerie. I went to their graves in Texas, and growing up watching them wrestle, and die, was heavy-hearted for sure. For years I told my friends their story would make a great Hollywood film. I'm glad it was.

Happy new year Sir! Always fun to see your best/worst lists; though your long 'worst-of' discussions are a favorite, I understand that events can intervene. Haven't quite decided on my own #1 pick, but am leaning towards yours. I'm a big Payne fan and this could be his best movie since Sideways. Interesting to see a big-budget, somewhat-mainstream release take the booby prize; it's been a long time since that's happened (since the last Die Hard film, to be exact). Cheers & best wishes to you.

I wonder, do the Satanists in the movie realize that, really, in order to have it be the ULTIMATE sacrifice, you'd have to raise Jesus to be good and holy? Like it'd be funny, summon Satan, prepare the sacrifice, and clone Jesus is acting like Kevin Sorbo and Satan k!lls the cult like 'You wasted my time with THIS asshole?'

The Devil Conspiracy almost feels like it took some ideas from the final evil plot of the villain in a series that had at least 2 anime seasons, Qwaser of Stigmata. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ They want to, as I recall, take what is a copy of Jesus' soul that's in an artifact and put it into a clone they'll make and then, because Jesus' powers are essentially global scale manipulation of Iron, enhanced by a substance called Soma that is produced by women partnered with the Qwasers (manipulators of elements like Iron on the periodic table), who, no joke, drink it from their breasts like Jesus nursed on Mary as a baby.

I actually saw three movies this year i thought were WORSE than Knights of the Zodiac, although I'm pretty sure you'll disagree with my pick for the worst. Yes, I did see KotZ, and the effects are so bad I honestly thought it was animated The Spirits Within style until I got home. Just this awful CG filter over everything. I just honestly was more pissed off by the following three. #3. Zombie Town Based on an RL Stine book, a plot point involves the lead being afraid to pee outside, and not because of the zombies. Has both Chevy Chase and Dan Aykroyd, with a post credit bit where Dan says a quick thanks to the crew and just hightails it off set leaving Chevy just looking confused. 2. Meg 2: The Trench Shocked this wasn't on your list. Completely unbelievable, especially so shortly after Titan. The first was decent, but this was just awful and contrived. 1. 65 They not only made Kylo Ren fighting dinosaurs boring, but somehow made a worse version of After Earth by removing the colour and unintentional humour. What was the point of setting this in our past on Earth when it had absolutely no impact on the plot?
