also watched Rare Exports the other day, looked superb, pacing was droll though with nothing much happening for several scenes bar expositional dialogue.

Yeah I watched that a couple of years ago...was ok but not great.
A couple of funny scenes but mostly just dull.

yeah, was mostly bored after the first 20 min, bar the final scene which was brilliant. if only that kind of humor had been prevalent through out the movie it would've been a masterpiece.

just  finished He Never Died. pretty damn good, dropped the ball a few times but kept going. Rollins is tailor suited for the role and just owns it.

[Trada]

That would have been so much better than that Sam Smith shit.

Spectre...worra loada shite.

Ha ha absolute load of shite wasn't it.

I almost think they did it on purpose to get out of having to do any more.....

[dave 5516]

Not seen it yet.

You have. It's the same every time...the only thing that changes are the women,names and locations-other than that....he saves the world....

Easily the worst film I've seen this year...nothing comes close...film making by rote.

Are you joking? Was he singing in the style of Miss Piggy on helium on purpose?

[Rattleduser]

spectre was dull

[SamAteTheRedAcid]

Spectre was way too long...enjoyed the first set piece and after that it was just poor for me. Waltz was wasted.

Just watched Bronson the other day. Tom Hardy was simply magnificent, but the film was kind of boring for me, nothing really happened. Perhaps I started with too much expectations tough after my friend told me it was very much like Clockwork Orange. The music gave a very similiar feeling to the movie I have to admit and that scene when Bronson was released and went home to his mother was also familiar. So I can see the reason for the comparison but they're just not in the same league for me.

However it did got me into watching Hardy's other projetcs, I just rented The Take, Locke and Legend (though it has shit quality so I might wait with that one).

Not joking in the slightest.

I waited all year to see this...built it up in my mind....and loved it....make of that what you will, Jay.

Rollins in a noir Terminator/Schwarzenegger role is good.

Will add that I thought it was boss too. Excellent and unexpected!

Any idea if "The VVitch" will be available any time soon?

Cinematic release is set for February 26. It's possible it might be "available" as DirecTV picked it up after Sundance this year....DirecTV have a pre cinema release package with this and other films. If it pops up it will be from the 16th of Jan.

I know it's early, in fact not even the new year....but think it could be the horror film of the year that one.

Looks truly terrifying!

[johnsmithlfc]

Spectre really was bang average/ poor.
Saw at the cinema and it just left me cold.
Nothing of note and apart from the odd good scene or bit of action it was just so dull.

[Zlen]

'Martian' was okish, good for a single viewing.

[johnsmithlfc]

'Martian' was okish, good for a single viewing.

I really enjoyed it at the cinema, not sure it'd hold up on the small screen really.
Not a fantastic or great movie but I definitelye enjoyed it.

[johnsmithlfc]

Anyone seen Irrational Man yet? Woody Allen.

Doesn't get great reviews but then a few of his recent films have had mixed to poor reviews and I've enjoyed them.

It looks very interesting.

The other two I need to see are 31 and The Green Room. Rob Zombie and clowns....I'm in.

Green Room got mostly great reviews at Cannes...I read in Variety iirc, and still hasn't been released. It's the latest film from the director of Blue Ruin, Jeremy Saulnier-it's now down for April 1st release date-so fuck knows when that'll be around.

[Johnnyboy1973]

Spectre...worra loada shite.

Irritatingly shit.

I'd have been more irritated if I had not followed it up with the Revenant.

A thing of beauty.

Play it again Sam!

Excellent movie, my fav of his early stuff...probably.
Always hard to choose.

[Zaffarious]

steve jobs was good, felt it could have been alot better though? Dunno its just something i felt once it ended. Im a bit of a techy so i enjoyed the dialogue between all the characters.

Gonna go for spotlight, the room and joy today i think considering theres no football on. Then that takes me through to the nfl at 6. Now thats what i call a chill out sunday

[Ray K]

Watched Creed on Xmas night and really enjoyed it. Takes the Rocky tropes and creates new characters and stories from it, while paying homage to the original.

Ryan Coogler and Michael B Jordan are such huge talents.

There's a bit in it that made me laugh out loud and think of Mad Max here

Really enjoyed The Hateful Eight...not the film I was expecting - which was I guess, Django Pt II - but after getting over feeling slightly let down by the theatrical feel and one room set, I started getting into it and ended up loving it. Builds gradually but the film really comes into its own in the second act as the racial tensions start to boil over and the whodunnit/menace begins .....terrific performances as you'd expect from a Tarantino cast. Walton Goggins is great as the Sheriff-elect...and Sam Jackson is - as he always is - superb with a QT script. Ennio Morricone's score is a delight - particularly over the extended opening credit sequence - and the whole thing looks a treat in panavision. Can see how the staginess and 3 hr run time could/will divide audience reaction but personally think it's the director's most accomplished film in years. 9/10

[Trada]

Going to have a double bill tonight Suffragette and Trumbone.

Looking forward to it.

Trying to watch the third Hobbit film just so to finish off the trilogy, how can anyone consider these movies anything but tedious?

[CrasherKid79]

Just seen this, really liked it. If you like films a bit left field Id recommend it

Ha ha, Bloody hell Dave I'm not sure I want to watch it now you've endorsed it!!    I hope its nothing like your favorite film?? 

As for the Bond film (Spectre), I've never been overly impressed with Bond films anyway for some reason but like others have attested, this feels like you've seen it before! 

So its either 'He never died' or 'The hateful eight' then tonight??
