It's basically about a spree killer who the cops decide not to bother with.
It's not about plot ffs. It's just a nice stylish enjoyable action film.Originally Posted by Henry
I'm afraid Henry and 'style' are so far removed you'd need to go in to the Hadron Collider to get them to acknowledge each other.
patton was about an hour longer than it needed to be but he was a curious crazy bastard wasn't he? Bit disappointed but oh well.
I get "stylish". But I don't get why a man shooting random goons for two hours is enjoyable. Because one of them killed his dog, no less. Seems a bit psychotic.
Whatever floats your boat, I suppose.
indeed. I wanted to enjoy it but I didn't really. Shame.
That dog was all he had left from his dead wife, you heartless monster.
Beauty and the Beast (1991)
Decent enough film. The teapot would get it.
Disney films in the 90s
Mom and Dad - New Nic Cage mental-a-thon. Parents all of a sudden want to kill their kids, Cage goes full ham and smashes fuck out of it. From the guy who did Crank so it gives you an idea of the fun involved. Selma Blair is superb too.
Small Town Crime - Cliche but fun crime thriller with John Hawkes being his usual brilliant self. He's an alcoholic ex-cop (steady) who finds a body by the side of the road and looks into what happened due to a desire to wrong the past. Hawkes carries it and there's some good humour in there.
Hell or high water was absolutely great. Anyone here seen it?
Best film I've watched this weekend and I've watched fucking four.
Hell or High Water is fantastic, watch Starred Up Foe, MacKenzie is a very solid director.Hell or high water was absolutely great. Anyone here seen it?

Will give that a look
Watched Calvary again last night as it was on TV. That's 4 hours of my life wasted instead of 2, my own fault.
Yep loved it. Absolutely loved it.Hell or high water was absolutely great. Anyone here seen it?

I don't think I've ever seen a film that so enthusiastically shits on everything its predecessor did as The Man From Earth: Holocene.
It's been released as one of those 'pay what you can' experiments which means it's essentially been retroactively community funded, and if the director - who also directed the original film, bafflingly - isn't the victim of an acid attack before the year is out then the internet isn't the place I think it is.
In hindsight I should probably have expected limp, cheesy nonsense. The only thing the director of both films wrote for the first one was the song that played over the end credits, which included the line, sung breathily over synths, 'nothing lasts forever, but maybe some things do.' He's the credited writer on the sequel.
The first film was basically a stage play put to film, discussing philosophy and religion by way of a hokey but well explored sci fi premise. The second has an epilogue which couldn't have taken it further from that if the cast of Showgirls turned up and did a burlesque number in the front garden.
Three Billboards Something Something is very good, but I'm still not fully sure what to make of it.
I've not seen it (and won't), what do you make of this review: http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/...-a8174431.html
It's incredibly poorly written.
Mildred puts up three billboards antagonising the police to act, whose feathers are ruffled.
That piece makes a couple of decent points, but is wide of the mark on others ( in particular doesn't seem to get where the characters ended up). The person who wrote it seems obsessed with identity politics.
Eight Oscar nominations (or whatever it is) is more than it deserves. It's not that good.
Why won't you see it?
I mean I won't see it now in the cinema, because I don't go to the cinema. There's no reason I won't see it later when it comes on the tellybox/streaming services.
I thought that piece used a mad angle to take on any film, but obviously couldn't comment without having seen it.
I went to the cinema to watch it last night, and left because they only had the front row left. I'm going Sunday instead (and booking this time).
Its a fantastic film and surpasses In Bruges for me. In Bruges goes heavier on the humour but Three Billboards is McDonagh's most human film.
Fences is an absolute bag of shit.
It's basically Denzel throwing all attempts at creating a decent film out of the window so that he can go full throttle at EMOTIONAL PERFORMANCE for himself. What a cock. Dull, terrible film. Avoid.
A friend of mine is going to this tonight:
Which I'm slightly confused about. The only two songs I can remember are the Bob Marley song at the beginning and the CutKilla - Nique La Police track.
They'll have rescored it. Probably badly. I've had a version of Drive rescored by Zane Lowe on my Sky box for about four years waiting for a moment when I feel like watching a horrific accident.
Christ you're right. It's absolutely awful.
What THE FUCK is that.
keep banging on the wallsssssss OF FORTRESS EUROPE EUROPE EUROPE EUROPE EUROPE
Asian Dub Foundation.
I'm a twit
I haven't seen it for a few years (seen it about 30 times in total probs), but I'm sure there wasn't any score at all. Just the odd burst of hip hop coming out of windows, portable sound systems, and passing cars.A friend of mine is going to this tonight:

Oh and Edith Piaf at the beginning.
I watched Train to Busan last night. it doesn't do anything that other zombie movies haven't done but I liked some of the wall/pile of zombies bits. I'm a sucker for this shit though so I quite enjoyed it.
The Handmaiden
Decent film, lots of twists.
Gave up on Come and see after just over an hour. Has anyone anywhere ever made it through the whole thing? What an absolute crock of shit.
IMDb top 250 my ass.
Not enough romance Foe?
Terrible voice dubbing and about an hour of a kid mooching about in the mud of a forest. Painful.
Mate. Dubbed. The fuck mate.
Why would you get a dubbed version? I haven't seen the film but dubbed is always so much fucking worse.
I had no idea it was dubbed until I started watching. It's a horrible film regardless, from what I saw.
Hopefully the next one is better.
I remember not liking Spirited Away at first cos it was dubbed. What a mug I was.

Come And See is a masterpiece.
If you could make a list of films you think are masterpieces that'd be great.
It'll be useful to have a list of films I know not to bother with.
Philistine.
Not a bad idea, actually. You're much too thick and childish to understand half of them.
I think you can have a pass not liking Come and See. It's pretty heavy going, so it's not like saying normal things that are universally praised are crap.
Like the original Blade Runner, which is utter shite. I will fight someone over this.
I think Phonics will be your only backup there.
I'll fight him too fuck it. Windmilling for days.
When he connects
I remember not being all that fussed on the original Blade Runner when I watched it a good few years ago. Don't get what all the hype is about. Might watch it again soon before watching the new one.
