Finally got round this week to watching Pans Labrynth. Its a dark fantasy/war drama set in 40's Spain. Wont be everyones cup of team with its mix of fantasy creatures and sometimes quite graphic violence. The subtitles will also put a few off but I thought it was really good. I dont like goblin underworld type stuff usually but the mix with war time fascism real world events is so unusual its gripping.
Just got around to watching The Nice Guys now its on Netflix. It had mixed reviews when it came out but I thought it was superb, laughed pretty much the whole way through, Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe make a really good double act in the classic buddy cop style.
Its not as good as Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, which Shane Black also made, and this is similar too in style but then not many films are.
Well worth a watch.
It's brilliant isn't it. Really has that retro Shane Black Lethal Weapon flavour. Gosling is great as always, though I couldn't help thinking that Crowe looks too tired for action films nowOriginally Posted by Charlie
Maybe Black was going for that worn out Danny Glover archetype with that casting.
"Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" is better I agree, but I think that's Black's best film and he's unlikely to top it. He's doing "The Predator" next which I'm up for. Surely he'll make it more tongue and cheek like the original film which will be a nice break away from the annoyingly earnest blockbuster films we get in this Nolan era.
Smuggler - New to Sky Cinema.
One of the funniest black comedies I've seen. A guy agrees to smuggle drugs from Thailand to the US. He gets caught at security on the American side. The authorities then cannot force him to have an X Ray. They can't force him to take laxatives.
So they've got to wait for him to take a dump. They have 6 days maximum they can hold him in a hotel room. + He took a load of drugs before leaving Thailand to make him constipated.....
Not childish humour though. It's great.
This looks really good, hell of a cast.
Warning, hardcore swearing from the beginning so NSFW.
That looks like something I want to watch
Any idea when it's out?

No idea what I was on about they all have strong Aussie accents!.
Loads of people say it is boring but I don't see that at all. One of the best scifi films I have seen. More realistic as to what first contact will be like maybe?. Because why do we think alien species will think like our primitive, war mongering minds. We evolved from apes, the human mind is weak!.
Watched this last night, I was looking forward too it without knowing too much about it, only that its had a lot of buzz at horror festivals.
Really enjoyed it, Alice Lowe is superb. Didn't expect it to be so funny, some real laugh out loud moments, and didn't realise it was filmed in Cardiff, so surprised to see some familiar places crop up.
