Ginko Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) I watched Gone Girl tonight. At first it felt a little fake, the dialogue was unnatural and too well written and the acting was a little hammy, but then when it got into its stride it felt like that was just the style of the movie and it definitely grew on me. I thought it was great, very enjoyable. 9.5/10 in the lapal scale. Edited February 22, 2015 by Ginko 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Watched Cold In July last night - a decent Texas set thriller with an excellent turn by Don 'Miami Vice' Johnson. Good plot (a man shoots dead a burglar in his house and is then stalked by the dead mans father but there is a decent twist to the tale), well acted and worth checking out.

Designer1 Posted February 22, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted February 22, 2015 Loved the first half of Cold in July then it felt as though a different director stepped in and it turned into an OTT action movie. Some of the character changes were so nonsensical. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) Watched a film called The Expatriate (called Erased in the US) the other night. Like a shit(ter) Taken/Enemy of The State. Very poor. Edited February 22, 2015 by Xela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pooligan Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 The Way West (1967) A old western that crept under the radar. It stars Kirk Douglas who i thought played his role well and if your into westerns,it is certainly worth watching.7/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 bad neighbours, pretty disappointed, not very funny, or very anything to be honest, it didnt go deep in to the couples insecurities about wanting to be young (which is probably a good thing) but spent a lot of time skirting round it, same with the students insecurities about getting old, the supposed them vs us practical jokes stuff didnt go very far, the student party stuff has been done a lot better in films like project x, it was all a bit pointless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCDAN Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Blue Ruin.... I think someone posted on here a while back, can't be bothered finding the original comment just wondering if they liked it too? I really enjoyed it for what it was, I like films where I don't know any of the cast as it makes it all a lot more believable, there's not many people in the film so it's left to the main character to carry the story which he does well and I think we might be seeing a bit more of him in the future. Seems like the same director has a bigger film called green room coming up which he will also be in, will keep an eye out for that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Blue Ruin is fab. Excellent suspense, slow release thriller as you discover the chap's story ( Macon Blair is excellent ) , great tension, a very decent revenge-noir I thought. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted February 23, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted February 23, 2015 What does everyone think of "The Aviator"? Watched the first hour last night but thought it was pretty dull. Couldn't really see where it was going and don't have much motivation to watch the next 2 hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Watched Joe last night, starring a very unlike Nic Cage, Nic Cage - no gurning, hamming or overacting in this one and it was a good job too. A very bleak film set in a place that makes all our home towns seem very normal and nine!!!! A kind of cross between Winters Bone and Mud... It's not a cheery film but still worth having a look at. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFCDAN Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 As i'm on a bit of a film binge at the moment i have a choice between three films later. Inherent Vice / Killer Joe / Robot and Frank Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted February 23, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted February 23, 2015 Haven't seen Inherent Vice, but the other two are both fantastic. Choose by your mood. If you want a more light hearted flick then go for Robot and Frank. If you're feeling a bit darker then go for Killer Joe. Joe is probably the best of the two, but like I said it depends on your mood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may already know this, but the guy who played Wade and put in such an extraordinary performance was actually a homeless guy named Gary Poulter. Director David G.Green fought to have in the movie despite him being a chronic alcoholic who hadn't acted before. He was absolutely fantastic. Sadly, he died a couple of months after filming had finished. Edited February 23, 2015 by Designer1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
