mjmooney Posted September 1, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted September 1, 2023 Didn't know whether to put this in the film thread or the music thread. So I'll do both. Watched The Eight Mountains (2022) last night. Great film, with some spectacular cinematography in the Alps and Himalayas. I was rather enjoying the soundtrack, which featured a series of Americana-ish songs, so I looked up the performer. It was (slightly surprisingly) a Swedish singer-songwriter, called Daniel Norgren. I'd never heard of him, but discovered - by amazing coincidence - that he's playing at the Brudenell Social Club this Sunday evening. I may well go.

And even better live. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't believe I didn't know about him, as that stuff is right up my street. Reminiscent of Neil Young.

Looking forward to the gig tomorrow. Watched him live a couple of times and each set has been completely a different experience from the previous one. Not sure which set he's going with this time but I've seen him both on his own and with a full band. One of the times was at a theater with seating that was almost an ambient show and the first time was at a tiny scene at a small blues festival in a town not that far from where I live. Both were fantastic. Last time was more of a regular concert and it was still great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer1 Posted September 6, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted September 6, 2023 (edited) Decent bit of daftness. Denzel as watchable as ever, plenty of bone crunching OTT violence and entertaining enough. Better than the first one but I think two was definitely the strongest of the three. Off to see Cobweb later, which I've been looking forward to for a while now. Edited September 6, 2023 by Designer1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 The Company You Keep (2012, Robert Redford) It’s currently on BBC iplayer so I watched it because it had a crazy good cast and it’s about a subject I’m interested in. A subject you couldn’t fail to make a good film about, The Weather Underground, a US student lead terror organisation of radicals in the 1970’s that robbed banks, bombed the Pentagon etc.. Fair play, they managed to make it utterly boring. Beyond boring, I couldn’t be bothered to be bored. 2 hours of Robert Redford posing in various disguises, all of which were actually just a variety of baseball caps over the eyes. Seriously, if you’re a cop in the US and you’re looking for a middle aged man, and the entire crowd is a mixed bag of everyone, but there’s one middle aged guy in that crowd but you can’t see his face because his head is down and his baseball cap is obscuring his eyes… THAT MIGHT BE HIM!!! Jesus **** Christ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Designer1 Posted September 9, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted September 9, 2023 Recommend these couple of indie psychological Drama/Horrors I watched this week. Both good, with interesting, well written stories and both featuring strong female lead performances. Good stuff 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Follyfoot Posted September 10, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted September 10, 2023 (edited) mystery thriller with Nick Cage, playing well Nick Cage Joel Kinnaman plays the straight act to kook koo Cage very well. You don’t get to know either of their names which is an interesting concept. Gets nice and twisty towards the end as well. Worth a punt Edited September 10, 2023 by Follyfoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched this earlier in the week, and while its been absolutely ages since I've seen the first two I think I'm right in saying that this is a bit more of a slow burn to start off with, it was necessary though to build the world, I really enjoyed it. I don't think we'll be getting any more of them though, after 30 years of looking like he was in his 30's, father time has caught up with Denzel and he's finally looking old.

They not doing one with queen latifa??? I've still never seen the TV show but I'm sure they'll advertise it during the NFL tonight, I really don't get how that's a thing, seems like a really bad miscast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
