Have to agree with Macphisto. Both the Hateful Eight and Revenant were very, very tedious. I would go as far as saying they were pretty boring.

The Revenant looked amazing but as a film it was well dull. Classic Oscar bait attempt there, which isnt surprising given who the Director is.

Absolute nonsense.........but opinions / arseholes and all that

I thought Revenant was breath taking and that was on the small screen.

If DiCaprio wins a best actor award he should crawl to the stage.

Just watched Room

Bloody hell, that was hard going

A great movie but hard to watch.  Not sure if its coz I'm a Dad with a daughter about the same age who I try and see as much as I can (which is not enough due to the ex) or that Im a soft melt but had me very glassy eyed

Watched 'Burnt'. Wasnt ground breaking but it was quite an enjoyable film.

Also, Alicia Vikander is the sex.

I also loved the Revenant. DiCaprio is immense and the supporting cast is great. Beautifully shot and I hope he does get an academy award for it.

[IgorBobbins]

Watched Creed a few days ago.  I found it pretty enjoyable (if formulaic) and well acted, especially by Sly, I thought. 

It would have been better if his arch nemesis looked like Dolph Lundgren not a chubby Evertonian, mind.  Also, having the final showdown at Woodison made me cringe & laugh in equal measures

Was I the only who noticed that his mauled by a bear acting was the exact same as his I'm on drugs acting in Wolf of Wall Street? Literally identical crawling and sounds!

  One trick pony isn't he!

[Skidder.]

He even crawled the same in Catch Me if You Can - I mean, exactly the same... Very elbowy, not too much hip work.

Also, he was donning both scruffy unkempt beards...

Can't be a coincidence - hang him!

[Skidder.]

In other news though - did anyone else think that Steve Carrell was excellent in The Big Short?

He still plays those quirky characters and probably always will do; but I thought he played a blinder myself.

Watched it last night, thought he was excellent!

A really good movie as well, I love how they interspersed breaking the 4th wall throughout the movie. Saying what really happened and whatnot.

I like it when it goes totally left field "Here's Margot Robbie in a bubble bath to explain what Sub Prime is"

Haha! Loved that as well.

Anyone watched The Rise of the Footsoldier 2 yet?

He stood out if I am honest. Bale was good, but overall, Steve Carrell stood out...

I am always cynical of the true events behind films like this. Whenever a film starts with "Based on true events...", it is hard to view it in any kind of critical disposition. I felt the same with Wolf of Wall Street...

[dave 5516]

^^^Now...that's a film worth watching.

[Mad Max]

 

[Pistolero]

The Martian - very pleasant way to spend an extended Xmas holiday-break afternoon polishing off the last of the mince pies...

[Skidder.]

Gareth Bale?

Have you seen Face Off dude?

[Mad Max]

Have you seen Face Off dude?

No.

[Skidder.]

No.

Who hasn't seen Face Off - it is boss!

[johnsmithlfc]

Duke of Burgandy  - I thought it was beautiful.
Was sweet, sad, completely mesmerizing, had great atmosphere and was stunning to look at.
Utterly bizarre but totally engrossing.
And the budget was ridiculously low too, it looked lavish and decadent and beautiful.

Acted off the screen by Hardy but could be wrong

[Pelé as a Comedian]

tried rewatching The Returner. quirky little mash up of The Matrix and ID4 but doesnt really work unless you're having a beer and watching it for the first time.

[red mongoose]

Hehe  Max, I think you might be waiting a while until we all catch up on your hooligan films, mate  Since Max is obsessed and thus untrustworthy, can anyone tell me if any of them are any good? As a point of reference: I've seen "Green Street Hooligans" with Frodo and thought it was the worst (and most phony) kack imaginable; I read the John King trilogy that starts with "Football Factory," so don't really need to watch those.

It was good if but a blatant copy of a smaller budget documentary on youtube. Right down to the technical breakdowns and explanations by celebrities. I wonder if it was credited somewhere, I expect it was.

Returner is a great film, although yeah it's a fair bit better on first viewing. Around the same time I saw it I also watched Versus, which is another weird but good little flick.
