Films

Nice double bill of well crafted tearjerkers for me tonight...Ma Ma and The Good Neighbor (sic).

Penelope Cruz & James Caan deserve massive credit for carrying their respective movies like thespian tyrannosaurs.

Highly recommend both films.

a friend told me about an icelandic arthouse film called rams ? where all the sheep seen in the movie are name checked in the end credits

Me Before You

Not enough dragon action, but pleasing nonetheless, and managed to avoid the worst tropes and clichés of the genre.

Watched it on the plane. I thought the same.

Also watched

The Way Way Back
Nightcrawler
The Nice Guys
Demolition

Demolition was a bit lacklustre, got bored but since I was stuck on a flight I wanted to finish it, but the rest were all great, especially The Way Way Back.

popstar.

verr funny, top tier saturday night lels.

Sleepwalker: 1985
Not bad, but I expected too much perhaps.

The bfi release contains a few extra, insomniac and working surface (also from Saxon Logan) are well worth a watch.

Just watched Triple 9.
Not bad, entertaining enough. It's no Heat (I'm sure every review says something similar)
Kate Winslet does a pretty poor accent and Casey Affleck looks more like Ben every day

I watched this last night, it's really good!

impotrant movie fillum news!

Best news I've had in ages

Calibre 9: A competent Italian 70s gangster movie. Bit long in places, 70s clichés also apply. But fine colours (yes for real film) and turns a few things on its head near the end. It really worked.

See also rabid dogs well worth a watch.

Planning to see hell or high water / the blue room this week.

I have "hard to be a god" on rental at home oooh dunno gonna be navel gazing overlong wank or not...only one way to find out.

Kubo and the two strings: Not bad well executed hero story :)

warcroft: loved it. 9/10. don't evn care if it was an extended cutscene. i really want to play wow again. #kilrogg4lyf

Killer clowns from outer space...gonna be have to be good after some drink...right?

Edit: it was, excellent cheese worth a watch :)

Anyone see Swiss Army Man yet?

yup, quite enjoyed it, totally original idea and entertaining.

Between Swiss Army Man and Thunderpants, my question is this: When will there be a Hermione fart film? Because I'd watch that.

Hell or High Water is fucking brilliant.

Yeah I enjoyed that. Fairly straight forward but nicely done.
Also enjoyed (for the most) The Girl With All The Gifts.

Under the shadow: No massive surprises but good for what it is :)

Probably late go to the party but really enjoyed A woman walks home alone in the dark

Hard to be a god (2013) 2.5 hours of mud, mumbling, madness, chaotic cruelty and randomness.

I couldn't really get into it...

Can't beat the mood and the cinematography, poverty, dirt and its very Russian (dunno how to explain) but I may like the book better :)

I saw a clip of that, the frigging soundtrack took two years or something, the ambient noise of a medieval scene.

Supersonic. Really fucking funny

wow
