Twinkle Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Allied 8/10 Kept the suspense going until the end I, Daniel Blake 9/10 Sums up everything wrong with the system. Ridiculous that people are stuck in these situations in this day and age 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pittsburgh phil Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Watched this the other night. I actually enjoyed it - a complete non thinker of a film but the action was very well shot and there was a dry humour about it. Plus it was short enough to not outstay its welcome.7/10 for me. ETA just realised it was the first one I watched not the sequel! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heart of Northern Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Just watched the Seven Five after someone mentioned it. Really good docu about bent cops that just go out of control.. Well worth it. 8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boostin' Kev Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Some good time capsule footage as well from NYC at a time when it was creating a lot of good music. If you haven't seen it watch the vid below, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boostin' Kev Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 It's a different doc to Rubble Kings which is excellent as well. A lot of the footage in Rubble Kings has been used before, 80 Blocks From Tiffany's is another excellent one that was released before RK and was a big influence on it. Was listening to Power Fuerza by The Ghetto Brothers at the weekend again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth digging out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 The Neon Demon - a young lassie upsets a cadre of established models after arriving in California, and being considered the next big thing by the people in positions of power. Think I'm about done with Nicolas Winding-Refn's films now; the boy could make just about anything seem mundane and lifeless. That may be the idea, but it's stultifying to watch. This one lays out the standard tropes about vacuous, personality-free models and the creepy weirdos that dress them, in as unenthusiastic a manner as possible, before shruggingly offering the idea that they might be prepared to cannibalise each other to capture their 'X factor'. That's about it. At least Only God Forgives had Kirstin Scott Thomas' weird incesty mother and Ryan Gosling staring off-camera like a refugee from Birdemic. Keanu Reeves confirmed that he's pretty good at playing douchebags, though. Made me want to watch The Gift again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Spoorloos aka The Vanishing 1988. The original, not the appalling US remake. A slow burner, no action as such but excellent acting and direction and a truly terrifying ending. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 The Girl on the Train Meh. I can see why folk enjoyed it. You get a decent amount of depth to the three characters. My problem was that the three characters were extremely boring and I couldn't warm to any of them. It was sooooo slow as well. I didn't feel the pace ever went faster than 'steady'. Even when we find out what happened it was done in an extremely slow manner. Just a dull film in general for me. I get the impression the book would have been far better and perhaps it was a complex story that couldn't really have been transferred well to the big screen. Probably worth a watch as a lot of folk will enjoy it but I watched it as 'everyone' was going on about it. It'll be my first and last viewing. 3/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heart of Northern Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 The Lovings.. Enjoyed it but there was a certain tension missing from it that I had expected. Totally fair to show their obvious love and to concentrate on that and their legal struggle but no KKK in it I found surprising. Unless of course their address was kept so secret. Still enjoyed it having said all of the above. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boostin' Kev Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I thought Hacksaw Ridge was really corny and wouldn't recommend it at all but I seem to be in the minority with that. Out of all the screener films I've seen I only liked Moonlight and Manchester By The Sea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
