I honestly really enjoyed Birdman... until the last 15 minutes. And then I was absolutely stunned at how it went totally off the rails and ended up at what I honestly think is one of the worst endings I've ever seen in an otherwise good film.
Personally, I've been on something of a classic noir kick lately. I discovered "Out of the Past," which I now agree is one of the best noirs made. Great central performances and a nicely twisty plot with one of the most unscrupulous femme fatales in the genre. On the other hand, I finally watched "The Postman Always Knocks Twice" and thought it was rather overrated aside from the cinematography and lighting.
("The Maltese Falcon" still remains my all-time fave, tho.
