jambolostinavon Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I watched Frank on Netflix, so good. Very funny and poignant. Any Wittertainment followers on here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParisInAKilt Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Been watching a lot of Kermode's rants on YouTube. His sex in the city and transformers reviews are brilliant. Don't listen to the podcasts as much as I should though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jambolostinavon Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Yes the SITC one is brilliant. Have you seen his Angels and Demons one? I tend to listen the podcast when doing my long weekend run, fits perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thplinth Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I enjoyed KTM.Would the same thing have happened today with the info available in an instant via the Internet ? probably. Nightcrawler was rotten but not as crap as Inherent Vice. Oh yeah. They can destroy you now far easier than back then despite the internet IMHO. Maybe Gary Webb would have seen a viable earnings path through it (and not thus killed himself in despair assuming you accept he did). It was the media who knifed him repeatedly, the same media that people look to protect them from bad guys in power. I am reading this just now and it is not making me feel better about our collective futures... I recommend it. http://www.amazon.com/Family-Secrets-Americas-Invisible-Government/dp/1608190064 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairbairn Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I watched The Drop last night. One of James Gandolfini's last movies and he basically plays Tony Soprano in it. The film itself was pretty good with another excellent turn by Tom Hardy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another good Hardy film from the last year is Locke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParisInAKilt Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 A most violent year Bit slow at times and not as 'violent' as expected after the trailer. Good acting though and overall worth watching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fringo Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 2008 film but I just watched Che - part 1. "In part 1 of the Che Guevara bio pic we meet him as Ernesto, a young doctor from Argentina who teams up with Fidel Castro to overthrow the corrupt dictatorship in Cuba. His commitment impresses Castro and he becomes one of the leaders and succeeds against all odds" Pretty good. Part 2 to watch in next few days.

TartanTeddy Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Went to see Focus the other day, really good film, one of the best this year so far. The betting scene at the Superbowl (with pretend teams competing) pushed it beyond bearable for me! TT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just watched 2nd one which tells about his time in Bolivia in mid-1960s. Recommend them both especially for anyone interested in historical stuff.

fringo Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 If anybody has Amazon Prime, Che parts 1&2 are currently free on Prime Instant Video That's how I ended up watching it. Accidentally signed up to the one month free trial then they charge you for 12 months unless you unsubscribe at the end of the free trial. Bastardos !

fringo Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Terms & Conditions May Apply (2013). Not exactly 2015 but sake... There's actually a complaints and refund thing now set up as they (and many others before) rip people off in this way. When I realised it a few months later, I actually started using the service, watching numerous films I had now paid for but will cancel it one the 12 months is up. Deceitful.

ParisInAKilt Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Nightcrawler - loved it. Gyllenhaal was almost too good as the creep but totally sociopath lead. A modern day classic I liked it that music. Whiplash - another really good one. Like the almost subtle ending. Both deserved best picture over Birdman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bajin Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I've seen all 3 (Nightcrawler, Whiplash, and Birdman) and they were all excellent. But I think Birdman was head and shoulders above the other two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good film but thought the other two were far superior, especially nightcrawler Although I can see why Birdman was more of an Oscar film Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
