The Lighthouse is my haven, and everything so much cheaper there. If they would only serve ice-cream, I'd be in heaven. The bar downstairs is cool too when Hollywood Babylon or whatever is on, cheap themed cocktails!

I will never hate themed cocktails.

I've seen feck all this year, and can barely remember what I saw. though I did catch and would rate:
Only Lovers Left Alive
Under The Skin
Finding Vivien Maier

I'm sure I've seen more than that.

the only film I saw in the cinema was The Equalizer.

Was grand to pass a couple of hours and it would have been great if Chloe Moretz was in it a bit more (she was fantastic in the bits she was in).

Thats my contribution to this thread.

Good thing The Equalizer was amazing

The Babadook

Okay, I might see this at the weekend. I have a friend dying to see it.

@Bernie Lomax, did you rate it?

I thought it was good, or at least I was creeped out by it. Which I suppose is the point.

I quite liked it. Like a lot of contemporary horror films it completely falls apart in the third act. That said it's creepy, well acted, packs an emotional punch and the production design is gorgeous.

I liked it so much, partly because the story hit close to home for me and stopped being a horror film and instead was this nuanced, complex, and really... sensitive for want of a better, word, story. I loved the kid, despite everyone else being annoyed by him, I thought he was such a great depiction of that kid with that mom. Actually made me cry.

FUCK WISH I HAD MORE TIME TO GO TO THE CINEMA

Two Days, One Night would be my movie of the year. The best I've seen from the Dardennes brothers which is really saying something and Marion Cotillard is just superb in the lead role. Disappointed not to see it on any of the lists that are starting to float around. Aside from that We Are the Best, Frank, Blue Ruin, Boyhood, Under the Skin, The Past, Nightcrawler, Inside Llewyn Davies and Interstellar (just for the visual feast of it) would complete a top 10. Still haven't gotten around to 12 Years a Slave.

 

[hermie]

Shit no, Babadook. That was great, chuck back out Interstellar.

I found the last act incredibly creepy.
