11. BAD GENIUS
Director: Nattawut Poonpiriya
Cast: Chutimon Chuengcharoensukying
Chanon Santinatornkul / Teeradon Supapunpinyo
Eisaya Hosuwan
Distributor: GDH 559
Release Date: 18 October 2017
Box Office: $42,350,000 (WW)
"Bad Genius is pretty brilliant. It runs a little long, but one hardly feels the length. It feels brash and youthful, the filmmaking doing a lot to keep the film engaging and entertaining. And it does it all while still coming off as thoughtful and incisive in the end, despite overplaying its moralism a bit in the last few moments."
Philbert Ortiz Dy, The Neighborhood
10. IN THIS CORNER OF THE WORLD
Director: Sunao Katabuchi
Based on In This Corner Of The World by Fumiyo Kono
Cast: Non / Yoshimasa Hosoya / Natsuki Inaba / Minori Omi
Daisuke Ono / Megumi Han / Shigeru Ushiyama
Mayumi Shintani / Nanase Iwai / Tengai Shibuya III
Distributor: Tokyo Theatres
Release Date: 28 June 2017
Box Office: $19,324,161 (WW)
"An exquisite portrait of Hiroshima before the bomb that conjures a powerful sense of what - and who - was lost."
Stephen Kelly, Total Film
9. GET OUT
Director: Jordan Peele
Cast: Daniel Kaluuya / Allison Williams / Bradley Whitford
Caleb Landry Jones / Stephen Root / Lakeith Stanfield
Catherine Keener
Distributor: Universal Pictures
Release Date: 15 March 2017
Box Office: Php5,465,927
$254,329,516 (WW)
"It so happens that the young couple’s visit coincides with a big family get together, and the hospitality becomes more and more unsettling. Get Out is very creepy, very funny and as pitiless as a surgeon’s scalpel."
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
8. WONDER WOMAN
Director: Patty Jenkins
Based on Wonder Woman by William Moulton Marston
Cast: Gal Gadot / Chris Pine / Robin Wright / Danny Huston
David Thewlis / Connie Nielsen / Elena Anaya
Distributor: Warner Bros. Pictures
Release Date: 01 June 2017
Box Office: Php499,610,430
$821,847,012 (WW)
"More than an action figure, Gadot's role sifts through facets of womanhood that aren't supernatural; compassion for victims, courage to push back yet also the maternal reflex to coo over a cute infant. Her naivete in the real world is endearing but never, ever signals weakness.
Wonder Woman will not be the butt of jokes or anything to leer at."
Steve Persall, Tampa Bay Times
7. BLADE RUNNER 2049
Director: Denis Villeneuve
Based on Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?
by Philip K. Dick
Cast: Ryan Gosling / Harrison Ford / Ana De Armas
Sylvia Hoeks / Robin Wright / Mackenzie Davis
Carla Juri / Lennie James / Dave Bautista / Jared Leto
Distributor: Sony Pictures Releasing
Release Date: 06 October 2017
Box Office: Php32,637,034
$258,726,786 (WW)
"Blade Runner 2049 is not a perfect film. The pace occasionally puts the plod in the procedural and some story elements are introduced only to drift away to the land of possible sequels. But Villeneuve has created a genuinely thoughtful piece of
sci-fi which escapes the gravitational pull of its inspiration to become something."
John Bleasdale, CineVue
Director: Denis Villeneuve
Based on Story Of Your Life by Ted Chiang
Cast: Amy Adams / Jeremy Renner / Forest Whitaker
Michael Stuhlbarg / Tzi Ma
Distributor: Paramount Pictures
Release Date: 15 February 2017
Box Office: Php11,848,999
$203,388,186 (WW)
"Arrival is deeply human, expertly realized science fiction."
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
5. BABY DRIVER
Director: Edgar Wright
Cast: Ansel Elgort / Kevin Spacey / Lily James
Eiza González / Jon Hamm / Jamie Foxx
Distributor: Sony Pictures Releasing
Release Date: 02 August 2017
Box Office: Php46,096,053
$226,945,087 (WW)
"Baby Driver zooms onto the screen with an exhilarating combination of smarts and style. It’s the kind of action-comedy that makes you want to see it again a second after it’s over."
Calvin Wilson, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
4. LA LA LAND
Director: Damien Chazelle
Cast: Ryan Gosling / Emma Stone / John Legend
Rosemarie DeWitt
Distributor: Summit Entertainment
Release Date: 11 January 2017
Box Office: Php62,872,888
$446,050,389 (WW)
"Audacious, retro, funny and heartfelt,
La La Land is the latest great musical for people who don’t like musicals – and will slap a mile-wide smile across the most miserable of faces."
Ian Freer, Empire
3. LOGAN
Based on Wolverine
by Roy Thomas, Len Wein, & John Romita Sr.
Cast: Hugh Jackman / Patrick Stewart / Boyd Holbrook
Stephen Merchant / Richard E. Grant / Dafne Keen
Distributor: 20th Century Fox
Release Date: 01 March 2017
Box Office: Php187,668,694
$616,795,600 (WW)
"Logan isn’t just a final goodbye, it’s a steely bullet to the head of a reluctant hero we’ve loved for years. All the pain, remorse and despair inside Logan has long bubbled over, and Jackman’s performance goes out on raw, sharpened terms. A relentless,
jaw-dropping last hurrah like a raised middle claw to the universe. It’s not just one of the best superhero movies ever – it’s a damn-fine cinematic representation of the human condition in all its agonizing forms."
Matt Donato, We Got This Covered
Director: Christopher Nolan
Cast: Fionn Whitehead / Tom Glynn-Carney / Jack Lowden
Harry Styles / Aneurin Barnard / James D'Arcy
Barry Keoghan / Kenneth Branagh / Cillian Murphy
Mark Rylance / Tom Hardy
Distributor: Warner Bros. Pictures
Release Date: 20 July 2017
Box Office: $525,573,161 (WW)
"Nolan has described Dunkirk as less a war film than a survival film, but it’s even more basic than that, in the way it lures us in and keeps us hooked. It is about what we do - how we suffer and retort - when things happen to us, and when the happening grows far beyond our control."
Anthony Lane, The New Yorker
1. COCO
Director: Lee Unkrich
Cast: Anthony Gonzalez / Gael García Bernal
Benjamin Bratt / Alanna Ubach
Renée Victor / Ana Ofelia Murguía
Edward James Olmos
Distributor:
Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures
Release Date: 22 November 2017
Box Office: Php135,494,453
$553,060,301 (WW)
"This theme that the dead live on through the memories of the living gives Coco its poignant power, and that power makes this movie uniquely memorable."
Soren Andersen, The Seattle Times
