Great film While not as gritty, I do like Layer Cake, as British films go. Well worth a watch if you haven't seen it. Absolutely 100% brother - Layer Cake. Real stylish too. Also, not british, but you mention McShane up there.... he was sort of like that as the boss of that hotel / members club The Continental in JOHN WICK. a must for people too.

It's about Winstone, a cockney crook who's retired out in the med, low key, living life. A fixer (Kingsley) is tasked to recruit him to a team masterminded by their boss (McShane) who have spent months planning an imminent heist back in England. How can Winstone be persuaded, will he take part? You will see. Get ready for some classic sir Ben when he's on the plane and the scene after. 'I think they wanted me for a twos up or something' etc I read somewhere that in the filming of sexy beast, they had to wait for Kingsley to finish up on another film who came straight to the med to begin filming when free. So the cast and production team who had already filmed other scenes there, threw a party for him to welcome him. Kingsley turned up in the attire and totally in character as this Don Logan character and remained so throughout the evening. Nobody knew it would play out that way and I read that Winstone apparently climbed out of a toilet window to get away from him and drove off as "Don" had pissed him off that much. That gives you an idea of how abrasive Kingsley is in this film, he is intense. I don't know anything about acting but Sexy Beast is a masterclass. Great characters brilliant story. Enjoy BOF. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginko Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Watched Swiss Army Man a few days ago. It's absolutely bonkers but I loved it. Very original and creative. I could understand if people didn't like it or thought it was a bit juvenile, but it's pretty key to the message of the film and makes sense. Dano was great as usual and I know Daniel Radcliffe gets a lot of shit but I've always liked his acting and he was brilliant in this role. Think next will be War On Everyone. I have high hopes for this film since it's from John Michael McDonagh and The Guard is one of my favourite films in recent times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he comes across as a nice guy who could have easily become an absolute rocket polisher like many child stars with far less success than he had with Harry Potter and he's now making a lot of interesting choices with his roles in an attempt to try new things and branch out. I guess his success from HP affords him the luxury of cherry-picking roles in films he really wants to do and I like that about him. I also think he's a good actor. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginko Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 (edited) In other news I watched Kiss Kiss Bang Bang tonight for the first time. Loved it, RDJ was as good as usual even if he does play essentially the same role but **** it, I like it. Kilmer was great too and Michelle Monaghan is gorgeous and funny. Decided to watch it after being reminded of it when I bought The Nice Guys on blu-Ray earlier which I loved when I saw it at the cinema a few months back. Shane Black clearly used the same formula as he did for KKBB but I still enjoyed both. Edited October 8, 2016 by Ginko 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's good in this but not in Imperium. I think it depends on the role. In imperium I felt like I was watching Harry Potter pretending to be FBI pretending to be a skinhead, it just didn't work for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Black Mass - 6.5/10 Decent but would probably score higher if Depp didn't look like Goldmember! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched Louis' My Scientology film. It's very entertaining. Its less serious in focus, I think in part due to the problems of access I guess, but there is still plenty of his typical examination of people in his idiosyncratic way to keep you fascinated it all, plus some funny weird bits. Such a bizarre cult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
