I've often wondered why our town doesn't do a bit more to put his name about, we only ever hear about old George with regards to our greatest exports, but I'd suggest he is as important on the global stage. As far as I know there's nothing anywhere that would tell you he's from here. Nothing in the museum, none of those fancy blue placard things. Or perhaps that is at his request. Here's a really nice interview with him conducted at the new Nuneaton Town ground, he talks about his memories of football at the old ground, his childhood, his career, amongst other things. You really get a taste for how all of his experiences shaped his body of work in various ways. i always assumed he was northern. Had no idea he was from Nuneaton!

Chindie Posted February 11, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted February 11, 2018 I quite enjoyed Ghost in the Shell. It's far from a masterpiece or anything but was a decent watch. And looked great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Saw Shadow of a Doubt tonight. More excellent Hitchcock thrills. Only the 5th or 6th one of us seen, slowly working my way through the collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCDAN Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Justice League Christ it’s boring. Aqua man pointless no real perception of danger to anyone so you don’t care what’s happening either. Lots of people with 2 minutes of screen time on the sidelines who you couldn’t give a stuff about. Once again the DC franchises giving us a lesson in how not to do comic book films. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I'm re-watching Zodiac. The murder scenes are incredibly disturbing. Not gory, but really well crafted and menacing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFCDAN Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 My Friend Dahmer Very good performance from the young kid playing Jeffrey and the film essentially hangs on this. You could say its a bit kind to him for what is essentially a very disturbed person but the film actually focuses on his personal and school life leading up to his first murder and ends just before this happens. I'm already very au fait with what he did from that point onwards so this was an interesting timeline for me and allowed the film to be something of a childhood period piece with a underlying dark twist as this is no ordinary teenager in the late 70's.

sne Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Finally decided to watch Bright despite everything bad I've read about it and that I really can't stand Will Smith. I't wasn't really THAT bad (as in it wasn't probably the worst film of the year), it's just not very good. Feel they missed an opportunity to make something that might have been interesting. 5/10 Basically it was as if a 12 y.o Guillermo Del Toro had made Bad Boys after having watched Alien Nation and read a bit of Tolkien and replaced Martin Lawrence with an Orc (good call that as Lawrence is annoying as hell). The usual California odd couple cop movie but with fangs. 48 Hours goes to Hobbit Land if you will. Smith plays the exact same character he plays in most of his movies, and as a result I had to fight the urge to turn it off for the first 25 minutes or so. Swede Noomi Rapeass plays the baddie so I guess that's fun. Saw the is a sequel coming, also saw the is a sequel to Bad Boys coming. What a time to be alive.

Rec and The Poughkeepsie Tapes are good too, in fact there's segments from the V/H/S series which are excellent as well. Megan is Missing isn't really one I would recommend, it's not a great movie, but holy shit does it stay with you. Utterly harrowing. Hell House LLC and As above, So below both great Found Footage movies too. If you like that kind of thing. Though I have found that people who dislike FF movies reeaallly dislike FF movies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Netflix horror movie The Ritual. Not terrible take on the "people in isolated places meets unknown horror" genre. Group of Brits goes to Scandinavia to hike and things get strange. Based on a novel. Pretty accurate depiction of northern Sweden and it's people IMO. My favorite somewhat similar movie to this is The Descent Spoiler although The Ritual borrows from lots of different stories like Silent Hill, The Hills have eyes, King Kong and many many more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 The Mercy - all a bit meh really. With Girth Weiss and Thewlis you can't fault the cast but this dramatization of a true life attempt to sail the world was missing that indefinable element to pull it together. Not bad but save it for the telly rather than the big screen I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted February 13, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted February 13, 2018 (edited) I watched Wind River last night. Good film. During the film I said to my gf that the soundtrack could be on a Nick Cave album, then googled to see who did the music... Spoiler It was Nick Cave and Warren Ellis Know your favourite artists.
