      Today's viewing: Kubo and the Two Strings. It's a bit more sombre in tone than some of the trailers suggest, but I enjoyed it. Laika rock. 😉

          Rogue One meets the Beastie Boys. It's a fan trailer that's been getting a bit of attention recently.

              I really enjoyed Marshland as well! Great atmosphere and settings. Does remind me of True Detective.

                I went along to see High Rise, Ben Wheatley's take on a J.G. Ballard novel.

                It mixes brutalist architecture, class warfare, and the breakdown of society. And Luke Evans gets to rock a Wrangler denim Western shirt. 😉

                It's an interesting film. I enjoyed it, but it's not necessarily easy viewing. I've read a few of Ballard's short stories, and I think it captures the nightmarish quality that some of his work has.

                  Finally got around to watching The Big Short.  I heard lots of good things about this one, and it was still better than I expected.

                  not surprising, the book really goes into the characters a lot more- if you liked the movie and don't mind reading- I'd highly suggest it

                      I caught Blood Father last week. A girl gets into trouble with a drugs cartel. Unfortunately her father is Mad Mel, the angriest man alive. I quite enjoyed it, and Gibson is still very good at what he does, but he does have much better films in his repertoire.

                      I went to see Nerve today. The third act takes a bit of a leap, but the visual style is great. Plus the cute girl likes the guy with the Triumph motorcycle, which is a sentiment I can get behind. 😛

                      Incidentally there's a "get up to 60 mph" sequence in the film. I don't know why it takes so long, maybe the air cooled Bonnies are a bit anaemic, but mine would be up there in about three seconds. 😉

                          If I had a full head of hair and a beard, you could call me Captain Risky. 😉

                          It's just that the bike struggles to get up from 55, 56, 57… They accelerate really fast, and so the sequence of trying to build up speed against the clock doesn't really play true.

                          Of course, I could point out that a lot of the tech details aren't realistic in the third act either. But that would be getting into spoiler territory. 😛

                            Have you ever watched a 'Fast and the Furious' movie and counted the number of gear changes in a 1/4 mile race?

                            Movies are just riddled with inaccuracies 😛

                              I refuse to believe that Fast & Furious movies are not scrupulously accurate to the tiniest detail!

                                    Watched two great movies recently;

                                    Mud (2013) viewed in HD on fmovies.to

                                    Hunt for the Wilderpeople (2016) viewed in HD on swag-movies.com

                                    Both get 98% on rottentomatoes.com's TOMATOMETER and imho are well worth watching

                                      Last trailer for the Star Wars spin-off. Looks neat but I'm afraid it will end up better than the movie itself (happened before with Episode VII).

                                        The news of reshoots for Rogue One is a bit worrying, but I really like Gareth Edward's visual style. There are some shots in the trailers that look completely different to anything we've seen in a Star Wars film to date. Godzilla had a few of those moments too.

                                        Oh, I'll go and see it when it arrives, and I'm hoping that it'll turn out well.

                                        I saw Snowden a week or two ago. I worked at The Guardian just after the revelations were posted, so it was interesting seeing a (probably inaccurate) version of the events leading up to it. Alan Rusbridger, who was the editor then, actually appears in a scene at the end.

                                        I enjoyed the film, and it's worth seeing.

                                        The Red Turtle is also worth catching. It's a collaboration between a Dutch-British animator, Studio Ghibli, and was largely made by teams in Belgium and France. There's minimal or even no dialogue, and not a huge amount of plot, but it's something different and rather special.
