The man from UNCLE - thought this was great
Fantastic Four - terrible
Steve Jobs - great
Pride & Prejudice & Zombies - enjoyable nonsense

Dog Day Afternoon in the lighthouse, it'd been a few years since I'd last seen it. I had forgotten how funny it was. great movie.

 

[David Kronenbourg]

Welcome to Me. A woman with borderline personality disorder wins the lottery, goes off her meds and uses her winnings to produce a bizarre autobiographical chat show which soon becomes a cult hit. Gets a bit mawkish towards the end but very funny in parts. Kirsten Wiig does some outstanding work in this.

 

[Unicron]

Double header today, Everybody Wants Some, meh and Eye In The Sky, which was better

 

[David Kronenbourg]

Every few years a film comes out that seems to have been specifically engineered to my tastes. Green Room is one such film. Brilliant movie. Highly recommended. Definitely not for the squeamish.

I thought that was awful, I've usually no problem with films where nothing really happens but that one was unwatchable.

Wha??? It's one of the best films ever

That's what I had heard, just couldn't get into it though. I'll give it another go at some stage I'm sure, expect a Damascene conversion.

A Hologram for the King - fairly lukewarm mishmash with Tom Hanks doing the agreeable everyman thing.. it starts off looking like a farcical comedy with some fish-out-of-water American in the Middle East on a business trip stuff, some mid-life crisis ruminations and turns into a straight-up romance drama for the last 20 minutes.. Kind of a mess of too many half established plotlines and themes, mildly entertaining I suppose.

Any particular reason you went to see it? I'd avoid this shit like the plague

Yeah I have a friend who will go and see any film, irrespective of potential shitness, it was his suggestion!.. The new Linklater one was first choice but that wasn't showing anywhere nearby.

Saw it today. Very very good. Certainly had me gripped for the duration. That said I think that it may have been even more effective and more credible if he toned down the gore a bit.

Best thing about it was the performance by this fella

Yeah, he's great. He's the lead in Blue Ruin which is the director's previous film. Really good revenge flick.

I thought the gore was just the right level. Wasn't too gratuitous, or too cartoony, but there were a couple of moments that stayed with me for days afterwards.

Yeah, loved Blue Ruin, and I really like how he directs the movies. Maybe it wasn't the gore itself, but for a short while there was a danger of it taking on the cliches of a slasher movie - the screaming, the "oh-my-fucking-Gods", etc. Thankfully it didn't go there.

It was really good. Loved the scene where the band was playing the gig -

Spoiler: particularly

particularly the really beautiful slow-mo bit

I watched Everybody Wants Some. Bit of a bro fest but entertaining enough. Made me want to watch Dazed and Confused.

I kinda liked the slasher element. It was sort of Deliverance meets Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Had great craic watching this with me Ma & Da.

It is fucking woeful

Went to see Heart of a Dog, the Laurie Anderson doc/film
beautifully shot and with a great soundtrack; very art-housey but quite moving in parts.

Saw half of Zoolander 2. Hrmmm.
