Finally watched Martha Marcy May Marlene, thought it was really great. Elizabeth Olsen was perfect.

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

I watched City By The Sea with James Franco and Robert DeNiro

Because I never had a father, anything that deals with father/son issues resonates with me greatly.
Objectively, this movie is probably crap, but I devoured it.

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

James Franco double bill also completed my ecker for tonight's new Apes film.

This was really well done.

She's an excellent actress, it's almost as if she grew up watching her sisters and saw how not to do it.

Saw the Hundred Year Old Man last night.
It's dead good, very amusing.

Well, I wouldn't hold their performances in that against them too much.

Cheap Thrills. Pitch black comedy in the mould of Very Bad Things. Dark, grisly, misanthropic and very funny.

Watched this last night.Was amusing enough..6/10

I followed it with The Kings Of Summer..which was mildly diverting but I turned it off half way through cos i was bored..will finish it though.Great soundtrack though

Watched Zombieland last night for the first time since the cinema. 9/10. Top class, making quick great films should always be this good. (Hello Doom dickfuckers.)

Then the Wicker Man was starting on itv3 just as it finished. Watched it with a couple of beers. I don't think there is another film quite like it. If i was the kind of cunt that got dressed up at Halloween I'd dress up like Lord Summerisle as the man-woman, every single year. 10 out of motherfucking 10.

Gonna spend €1.99 now and watch rise of the planet of the apes on upc.

Tatie Danielle (1990) This reminded me how badly everyone dressed in the late 80s early 90s. Apart from it being dated visually, it was rather funny. People can be horrible.

"A black comedy about a widow who is intent on ruining the lives of her great-nephew and his wife. Tsilla Chelton plays the title character, who mourns the death of her husband by tormenting everyone she meets."

That sounds great!

Boyhood by Richard Linklater

Slightly too long at 2 hrs 46 mins, but it lives up to the hype and the life-long concept wasn't distracting at all. Great performances throughout and seeing the younger Patricia Arquette was nostalgic. Also amusing to see how little Ethan Hawke has aged physically over the 12 year period. He was very good in it.

Boyhood by Richard Linklater

Totally overhyped and a dangerous film with the reaction it is generating.
Ethan Hawke is really good, and maybe the only character of the lot with a brain.

The film is getting rave reviews because of the concept and execution, but the plot is conformist and whatever 'messages' there may be are cliched and nothing new.
The whole thing is designed to inspire a particular set of emotions in people, in a fairly manipulative manner in my opinion, but it fails to really ask any meaningful questions, the worst thing being that it comes close to doing so on occasion but then quickly steers away from that territory.

Interesting idea, poor plot, some gammy acting, and basically oblivious to the problems that the film actually does highlight unintentionally.
