I can see him playing some really dark roles. He was absolutely brilliant in Fox catcher and also really good in The Way Way Back. He could easily have become typecast after Anchorman and The Office but hes clearly a very good actor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched Detroit yesterday. Was good, not amazing but worthy of a watch. Edited November 30, 2017 by PieFacE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Gave Kingsman: The Golden Circle a good 25 minutes before I switched it off I understand it's supposed to be sort of a comedy, comic book thing but it was awful. Felt like I was watching that animated Tintin movie during the opening scenes, then it went Austin Powers without the funny bits. Having a few crappy Swedish actors in it just made it even worse. Not for me this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
This Could Be Rotterdam Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Justice League. Meh! Just a bit of a mess. The dialogue at times was cringeworthy. The villain not great. The 'character development' almost non-existant. I'll stick to Marvel thanks! Spoiler My two favourite bits of ''dialogue'' were between Lois Lane and Superman. He is just brought back to life, a supposedly romantic loved up scene and she said 'You smell nice!'. she then proceeds to ask him what 'it' (aka. being dead) was like, and his response? 'Itchy'. Urgh! Who seriously wrote this stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched this on Tues apart from the lack of scissor action I thought it was a good film , even if the cut shots to watching men as Riggs lost to BJK were rather OTT and I'm fairly sure not necessary dunno why but Laurie made me think of Fred from Scooby Doo every time he came on screen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoelVilla Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Just watched Whiplash(2014). I enjoyed it and someone who likes jazz music should enjoy it even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Your Name - anime - loved it - typical themes of all Anime I've seen, connections, supernatural elements and so forth, but still a very lovely film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Spider-Man homecoming was pretty decent. some good sequences and well scripted. The main lead, Tom Holland is probably the best peter Parker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted December 4, 2017 Moderator Share Posted December 4, 2017 Well arse to that. "Every frame a painting" now officially dead. Clickety linkings (better formatting within the article) Quote It had so much left to give. If you're a fan of both films and YouTube channels dedicated to exploring and analysing films, you're probably familiar with the excellent Every Frame a Painting. Run by writer/editors Tony Zhou and Taylor Ramos, the series was particularly great at breaking down how films are presented, and highlighting the tiny little details employed by great directors and editors. Their critique on the use of music in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is widely acclaimed, and for good reason: The channel had been inactive for some time, with fans speculating as to whether or not it would ever post a new video. Zhou and Ramos finally emerged for a lengthy "Postmortem" in which the pair explained that they have been too busy to continue working on the channel. “In the past year, we’ve both started new jobs and taken on other freelance work. Things started piling up and it took all our energy to get through the work we’d agreed to do. "When we started this YouTube project, we gave ourselves one simple rule: if we ever stopped enjoying the videos, we’d also stop making them. And one day, we woke up and felt it was time.” A sad day, but thankfully, Every Frame a Painting is still online. If you're unfamiliar, it's worth a deep dive. In addition to the Marvel video above, the channel also provided insightful mini-essays on the likes of Michael Bay: Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened, etc...

mikeyp102 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Baywatch. Yes it's a bit of a piss take, referencing the series. But it has it moments and some excellent bikini shots. Nice easy watch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAuthority Posted December 4, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted December 4, 2017 Watched this last night on US Netflix. Some very uncomfortable scenes as the guards really got into their 'roles.' Couldn't quite believe the lead psychologist would be so psychopathic himself. Surely he would have been more scientific about the experiment? Worth a watch to kill a couple of hours 7/10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 There's a decent German version of the story called 'Das Experiment', starring Moritz Bleibtrau, for completists or fans of Stanford experiment movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
