This looks up my street.
Good thread this, some good recommendations to watch and avoid
There have been some excellent recommendations on here.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.
Fascinating film. The same writer-director made another dark bat shit crazy film called Dogtooth. You might like that one if you haven't seen it...
You also might like Wild Tales. An Argentinian film made up of short stories.
Brave man recommending Dogtooth..
It was on film 4 the other night so may still be in circulation on there, its certainly love or loathe.
Definitely is love or loathe. As is The Lobster. Most will loathe... I'm just testing Pearcy before I start telling him to watch all of Gaspar Noe's films
Really surprised Love is uncut on Netflix,didnt expect that.Definitely is love or loathe. As is The Lobster. Most will loathe... I'm just testing Pearcy before I start telling him to watch all of Gaspar Noe's films
Though a cut version would be pointless.
Most of the film is outright porno so it would be a short film if they cut it. Mental it's on Netflix. Saw that in 3D in the cinema. I felt like a right pervert... Noe won't top his ending for Enter The Void though.
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
It’s a very good film.
They put me off.
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.
Going to watch this. Just watched It Follows on Netflix. It’s decent but not as good as it’s reviews in my opinion.
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.
Watched this on the weekend **** you wouldn't want to mess with that guy the bit towards the end shit got real
When it really gets going it is genuinely mental, how some of that got passed uncut is bizarre.
Cracking film though.
