Another thought on The Revenant that I forgot to mention: were some of the native language bits overdubbed? Not Glass or his kid, but when some of the others were talking their lip movements didn't seem to be in sync with the sound.

Quick Google says that yes, yes they were.

The reasoning for it sounds like bullshit to me. I'll take things being historically inaccurate over the jarring affect obviously dubbed dialogue has.
Not seen it, but my opinion is exactly the same as yours. Whilst a very successful man, is his life story worthy of a film? No is the answer.Originally Posted by Alex
I noticed it a few times, and it was distracting when it happened. Totally forgot about it until you mentioned it.
But is it worth three films..?
There's three films? Shows how little I know about the subject...
I've downloaded Black Mass and I put you all on notice that I will be watching it later.
Watched The Boy Next Door last night.
Quite awful apart from the sex scene, which was tame...but who doesn't like a milf shagging her son's buff friend.
The Spandau Ballet one is a genuinely good film.
It is, but it's got Spandau Ballet in, so it still feels like ITV made it.
Why does he even bother reviewing those sort of films? Are people making him out of pure cruelty? You can just tell by the actors in them, the 'plot' and even the name of the film that it's going to be absolute shite.
He genuinely sounds like he's about to top himself somewhere around five and a half minutes in.
Well I thought Black Mass was excellent. I love mafia stuff and real life stories so it ticked the boxes. A good 8.5 from Harold.

Green Room, the new thing from the writer and director of Blue Ruin looks shit hot. For some reason the YouTube link for the trailer doesn't work at all, but it's reproduced on this article.

Well Selma was brilliant. The deep south of America really is/was mental.
Had a look at the Oscars Best Picture history and there's some absolutely mental winners. Annie Hall over Star Wars, Forest Gump over Shawshank and Field of Dreams being nominated.
Forrest Gump is quite good tbf.
And Shawshank's an odd one, in that it didn't get anything like the love it should have done when it was released.
It is, but is it not almost unanimously agreed that Shawshank is best loved film? Maybe it's one of these 'slow burners'.
Same goes with Star Wars. Is there any films of the last 5 years that will go a similar way, Frozen aside, obvs.
It is considered one of the best, yes, but it is not like it lost to absolute shite. It was also not popular at all upon release.
I'm not having Star Wars as a properly good film.
Annie Hall is way better than Star Wars.
I thought Annie Hall was fucking shite. A couple of lol moments but I nearly turned it off.
I quite liked Annie hall but it isn't one that will appeal to the masses. Nor would I watch it again.
Annie Hall and Husbands & Wives were absolute bilge.
I was ready to lol at that bit so I'm glad somebody beat me to it.
The Revenant is really, really intense. Technically brilliant, well-acted, beautiful cinematography. But it's missing something - I'm just not sure what the point of it all is.
Looking for something in the old film thread and I've stumbled upon this;
Alright, Yev.
Deadpool was nothing short of perfection, one of most pleasurable watches I've had in years, hilarious and flew by. Going back again for another viewing.
I'll stick by that, it's when he started getting roles that required ACTING that the problems came.
I echo this statement
I think I'm about thirteen years too old for Deadpool to be AWESOME, but it was still very good.
Fancied an oldie this evening so watched Bad Day at Black Rock. As is often the case with these, it's reputation preceded it. But while it was okay, I'm not sure where it got that from.
Just watched Trumbo and thought it was excellent. The entire history of the blacklist is somewhat of a gap in my knowledge, so it was a nice introduction to that. It's inspired some further reading into the subject.
Bryan Cranston was incredible, as expected.
Can someone recommend me a decent comedy to watch? I'm bored, slightly sick, and could do with a pick-me-up.
I'm open to anything, really.
Oldschool.
Spotlight is decent film, but nothing special. It takes a while to get going, but you can't help but be intrigued by the subject matter. Ruffalo donned proceedings as per despite a noticeablely shit hair cut. Keaton overcooked the accent and Mcadams was never out of power pants . 7/10
Predator is on.
"This stuff'll make you a god damned sexual tyrannosaurus. Just like me."
The handshake.
Hail Caesar was entertaining, but it wasn't really what I hoped. It could've been a truly great movie, I think, but it just fell a bit flat. It's actually a rare case of a movie that should have been longer and more well-developed than it was (or less packed with pointless subplots).
'What about a kidnapping film full of...'
'Shit sub-plots and tortured...'
'Tortured metaphors!'
'We've done it again, Joel.'
I'd forgotten how literally everybody (including the Predator, to an extent) is devastatingly stupid in it. From Arnie right at the start ruining a stealthy approach by going "fuck it" and rolling a big pile of explosives into a camp with "hostages" they were meant to rescue (his mates then joining in and causing a hailstorm of bullets when they didn't know where the hostahes might be), to basically everything that happens between then and the Predator deciding to walk right into the obvious traps near the end.The handshake.
Still fucking love it. Will be all over Predator 2 tonight as well.
Watched Chappie last night.
Good film. I was also strangely attracted tot he weird blonde woman, who brought back memories of my stag trip to Krakov.
Bang on, whether you've actually seen or not.
I've seen their other films, and I've seen L,A. Confidential, so I think I pretty much have.
Me too. Isn't it worth a cheeky watch, though. I do like Blomkamp's films.
Something about her freaky appearance, but I would. A quick internet search would suggest she likes to get her vag out on stage.
Fucking hell she's in a rap group with the douche baddy from that film and has a kid to him called Sixteen.
Them annoying bastards ruined what could have been an interesting film.
