villa4europe Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 The girl with all the gifts solid British zombie film, avoided the more traditional zombie route, pretty much a rip off of the last of us with a bit of I am legend thrown in, they tidied brum up nice for some bits of it and if you're doing x number of films a year I think if you're a member on IMDB you can set up lists and what have you so you can track how many you've watched 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 (edited) Really love the coen brothers films and rate then highly. Watched Hail, Caesar! last night and whilst it was typically witty, sharp and well made it didn't captivate me as much as their previous offerings. I cant knock anyone's performances as everyone was really good (particularly the all too brief cameo by Frances mcdormand) it was good but not up to their usual standard in my opinion Edited January 30, 2017 by theboyangel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 7 hours ago, Stevo985 said: Saw "Lion" on Friday. Really really liked it. Dev Patel was excellent and it was one of the most emotional films I've seen in a very long time. Despite Patel's performance and the rest of the film being great, the first half an hour or so is a sequence where the child (Patel as a child) gets lost and it absolutely steals the show imo. Proper heartbreaking stuff. My only criticism would be the middle part of the film drags a bit. It's still good but I think it just went on a bit too long hammering home it's message. Not a film I'd have chosen straight away but very glad I went. Worth a watch. I remember reading an article about the story and I thought at the time, it would made a cracking film, if done properly. Sounds like they have done it justice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Denial was a good film with a more interesting history behind it and Spall was really standout in it. also as an Easter Egg it joins Hannibal with a mention of Villa in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But some of their films are just big misses. Funnily enough the misses for me are films that others absolutely love. Miller's Crossing and Big Lebowski for example.

PaulC Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I watched Christine, the story of Christine Chubbuck, played by Rebecca Hall. About an American tv reporter who feels isolated,put down and suffers depression, about to turn 30 and still a virgin, man she loves moving away, it all comes to a dramatic conclusion. A very authentic 70s feel about the movie and brilliant performance by Rebecca Hall. 7/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Having enjoyed the skin I live in, I decided to watch Talk to Her by Almodovar too - lot's of recommendations, but what am I missing? I thought it was awful. very unsympathetic characters - and the film seems to consider the committing of a particularly reviling act as no bother. Christ.

Chindie Posted February 1, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted February 1, 2017 Trainspotting 2 is surprisingly good. And if nothing else reminds you that Jonny Lee Miller has had a weaker career than he probably deserves, and Brenner and Carlyle could have made more of themselves.

Jon Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Lincoln Watched it a couple of days ago, and re-watched it last night. What a film. DD Lewis basically IS Lincoln. It's fascinating. Nothing much happens in the way of action, but it is intriguing from a political aspect, and is so well acted by all involved. 10/10 WB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Denis Villeneuve (Incendies, Prisoners, Sicario, Arrival, Blade Runner 2049) is to direct the Dune reboot for Legendary Pictures. Huge potential, unclear if it's going to be one film, a series, or a film version of the first book followed by the rest if it does well. Ridiculously hard film to cast too.

I have to get through 76 out of the 100, which is considerably more than I expected. I might make an exception for the Godfather, because I tried to watch that bollocks a few years ago and I don't think I can sit through it again. I've just had a look, I haven't seen 77 of them. To be fair, I haven't even heard of about 30 of them. EDIT. Hang on, I'm not sure I've been looking at the right list.
