And Camilla Long hated it so I'm glad she is wrong..again

Just back from this. I really liked it. Great performances, nice ending.

It occurred to me that it could easily be edited to resemble one of those 'nerds triumph over the establishment' 80s movies where the song at the end, probably something like God gave rock and roll to you wins over the crowd and the crusty record producer and they become rich and famous. ...but it isn't ,
so
Good

Spoiler: Songs

Loved those last 2 songs - the Lighthouse Keeper one that Maggie G sang and Franks Love one too.
The music was great throughout. The very first song that Jon played live with them (lasting about 30 seconds, before herself threw a fit) sounded deadly!

Don's 'shit' song was good too

Watched Fargo again because I'm enjoying the TV show so much. The film is a true masterpiece. There's not a second wasted onscreen.

The Innocents. Pretty great, atmospheric adaptation of Turn of the Screw from 1961 with Deborah Kerr. Made me want to read the Henry James novella again.

Blue Ruin. Wanted to like this more but only thought it was ok. The cinematography and the main guys performance were the best parts. I found the story and execution a bit pedestrian and there were too many bits I found unbelievable. I thought Out of the Furnace was a fat more accomplished revenge thriller set in poor White America.

Out of the Furnace was pretty damn great alright

I saw Godzilla yesterday. It was shit. That's all I have to say about that.

People are raving about the effects. Probably won't go myself.

It can't be as good as the Japanese Gamera reboot staring Steven Seagal's daughter.

I'm only half kidding.

Frank - Thought it was good but uneven.. There's an interesting core idea in there about the myths built around mental illness in the creative arts, and they do a great job at evoking a Beefheart / Magic Band style personality cult (while also creating some convincing weirdo art-rock music). I didn't think the final third of the film after they go to America was as successful, was probably bit tired of the sullen band member characters by that stage, and whatever points it was trying to make about 'outsider' art and commercial art not mixing, or maybe about the insidiousness of social media, didn't come across as well as the earlier stuff. Solid 7/10 from me anyway.

The effects are certainly much better than anything else in the film - except maybe Cranston, he was alright really

 

[David Kronenbourg]

Stranger By The Lake - tense and disturbing French thriller about a murder at a gay cruising spot. This one will stay with me for a while I reckon.

 

[Anthony]

The first x-men thing on the TV last night. Boring.

The Sacrament. Found footage horror from Ti West (House of the Devil) based on the Jonestown mass suicide. This was a letdown. I felt the film would have worked far better as a straight narrative. The found footage format is completely played out at this stage. The real life events were far more fucked up and scary than anything in here so if you're interested id recommend watching the Jonestown documentary instead. On a positive note Gene Jones is terrific in the role of the cult leader.

Has anyone seen Enemy yet? I've made several attempts to watch it but haven't gotten further than 30 minutes in. It looks very stylish but I'm finding it sterile, dull and underplayed by the cast. A friend, who's opinion i rate highly, keeps raving about it but I'm wondering if it's worth investing my time...

 

[Unicron]

Blue ruin, was alright

Watched the last hour of that x-men thing we started the night before. I'm changing my verdict from "boring" to "absolute fucking shite".
