Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. Was really really looking forward to this and I was slightly disappointed. The human characters were so generic they might as well have worn t-shirts saying "brave everyman", "supportive wife" and "sensitive teen". The apes were all great though. Also, it took a while to get going but when it did it was pretty good. It does contain my favourite image of the year

Spoiler

Koba on horseback firing two machine guns simultaneously into a crowd of puny humans

I also have to say that my enjoyment of this was spoiled somewhat by a constant flickering on the screen which they failed to fix and which I'll discuss over in the cinemagoing thread.

Its scoring 8.4 on IMDB ..which means its great!

I'm super looking forward to it

Sounds good for a laugh, must check it out

If you liked Apocalypto and the first bit of Valhalla Rising.

That'd be a yep then. Although I spent most of Apocalypto waiting for some line about Jews and imagining the main character playing football for Barcelona

Hugo. 10/10. So good it makes you want to cry.

I was dragged kicking and screaming to that by a woman.

Loved it.

How many films will be interesting in 87 years ?

Loads, I'd say.

Battle for the Planet of the Apes has the line "Fight like apes!"

Proxy. Psychological thriller in the mould of Polanski or Aronofski. The opening scene is one of the most WTF moments I've seen in a long time, and I thought I was completely desensitised to onscreen violence

This is a good and nasty little flick

Mistaken For Strangers. Documentary about The National, or more accurately, a documentary about the lead singer from The National and his relationship with his fat, lazy, incompetent, metal head brother. I'm indifferent to the band but this is funny stuff.

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

I'm indifferent to the band

I can't imagine feeling any other way about those guys.

This was entertaining and I loved the soundtrack/score.

Sonatine (1993) "Several yakuza from Tokyo are sent to Okinawa to help end a gang war. The war escalates and the Tokyo drifters decide to lay low at the beach."

The more I think about this film the more I love it. One of the best of the year so far. And Koba was played by the brother from Dead Man's Shoes! I love that guy.

He's usually good value - great in RocknRolla and that Black Mirror episode that might be the best one they did.
And he had a nice menacing turn in The Counselor. A movie which I enjoyed the fuck out of on second viewing.
I hated it and now think it's brilliant.

He’s definitely got the old charisma.


I enjoyed The Counselor a lot. Couldn’t help thinking I was watching a different film to the one that everyone else was saying was shite. It has two of the best death scenes of the year.
