Good thread this, some good recommendations to watch and avoid
Saw Baby Driver the other day. Really cool film - very stylish throughout. A love story running through it with some excellent car chases and a good story. Also watched the The House which was actually quite laugh out loud funny in places. Best I have seen in a while is Colossal though - my kind of abstract film.
American Made was decent I thought and would recommend it as a "watch just the once" type film.
Not going to be a classic by any stretch but it's good if you've got 2hrs spare one evening.
The Lobster. It's a black comedy I think. It amused me and kept me interested. Very different and a bit daft but worth watching.
I think the only film of his I could recommend to others is Irreversible, and that would just be based on how good Bellucci and Cassel are, everything else I've seen of his has been an effort to finish.
There's one particular shot in Love that must have been a bit weird in 3d..
It would have had me ducking for cover..
Say no more. Pretty sure he wanted to be the first director in history to **** on his audience. Very French.
Talking of French, just watched "Incendies". It was nominated a few years ago for best foreign language oscar. Subtitled which puts some off but an excellent film. 8.5/10 for me. Story of a mother and her seperated kids, war torn middle east. Hell of a story
Gerald's Game on Netflix is an excellent adaptation of a really underrated Stephen King book.
Big horror fan but one scene had me looking away from the tele,thats not happened in a while.
Finally got a copy of "Sorcerer" a month or so ago which has at last been released on blu ray and DVD too I think for folks who like to watch with a good set up. Directed by William Friedkin (The French Connection, To Live and Die in L.A., Bug, The Excorcist). Remake of amazing "Wages of Fear". Not sure which version I prefer, but they are both great - tense and dark.
Tangerine Dream do the soundtrack.
Just found this dodgy upload on the yootoobs. Looks like it's been transferred from VHS and is pan & scan so is cropped.
The serpent and the rainbow. I cant seem to find it up anywhere,. Remember seeing it as a youngster n it stuck with me. Jacob's Ladder similar. Got me interested.
I see that the new Trainspotting film is now being shown on Sky,is it any good?
It's really good, tidy soundtrack too including The Rubberbandits brilliant track Dad's best friend.

Just watched Brawl in cellblock 99

Made by the same director who made the much loved Bone Tomahawk.
Really good film, takes a while to get going but once it does its really full on.
Vince Vaughn is excellent and if you thought bone tomahawk was violent wait until you see this, there are scenes of violence in this I've never seen in a film before.
As a huge horror and grindhouse/exploitation cinema fan you think you've seen everything there is to see in shocking scenes but this goes that little bit extra.
Cant wait to see what he does next.
