rjw63 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Finally got around to watching Spotlight yesterday. It was excellent, good performances all round. I tend to find "true" stories very gripping. Going to watch this right now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Haven't seen big short yet tbf but spotlight would be my best picture winner, better than the revenant imo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 'Sicario' was, well, something. There was stuff to enjoy - the set pieces & the look of it mainly - but a whole lot that just got grating after a while. Nothing was more grating that Emily Blunt's character, who I just didn't believe in from the get go. I can't accept that a 21st century FBI agent would be so idealistic and naive. We must do things buy the book! I'm going to tell everybody! Christ. Similarly the plot itself, the idea of shaking things up, and how it was resolved didn't feel right to me. It was also just draining to watch, which was really due to the style of the film; it had a staleness that I can't quite put my finger on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCDAN Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 The big short was really good in the ways wolf of Wall Street wasn't. You cared more about the central characters and it did a good job of explaining the crisis and the industry as a whole without the viewer feeling patronised. Where it failed was it was nowhere near as entertaining as WOWS. If a middle ground was possible that's where the sweet spot lies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 (edited) Am I the only person who wasn't really that blown away by Spotlight? Journalists bravely fighting for The Truth! Mark Ruffalo having a breakdown! Corruption! Mark Ruffalo's eyebrows! Do they have the nerve to tell the story that everyone in the audience knows they told? Only a very over-acting Mark Ruffalo can tell us! I guess I thought it was pretty decent, but that Mark Ruffalo sucked, and I don't think it's a patch on 'The Insider' in terms of a can-these-brave-people-get-their-very-important-message-to-the-public-in-the-face-of-corrupt-opposition movie.

mikeyp102 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Inside out. Quite a touching kids film. But at the end when she spoke to a boy and his brain freaked out, we've all been there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Just watched "The Sword of Destiny", the Netflix sequel to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. It's good. If you liked Crouching Tiger, you'll like this, even though it is a much lower budget, simpler film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFCDAN Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Honestly John Wick bored the crap out of me. I watched it hung over which probably didn't help but 5/10 WNB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCDAN Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I noticed Mad Max cleaned up at the Oscars, rightly so I think. I have it on my sky box ready to watch again so that will be tonight's viewing, after Better Call Saul of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
