Gemmill 44173 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 The Drop. Tom Hardy and James Gandolfini in a Dennis Lehane short story. I enjoyed it - both Hardy and Gandolfini were quality in it, as was the Dragon Tattoo lass (Noomi Rapace I think she's called). Anyway, worth a watch if you enjoyed the likes of Mystic River or Gone Baby Gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Carr's Gloves 3790 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 As an aside I wish they would stop trying to show the human misery of superheroes and just let them beat the crap out of each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44173 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 The half hour long, CGI fight scenes are the worst things about the superhero movies imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 34736 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 that's correct, but the Fish is gonna have to clock back in on this thread now. I misread the ending time so checked at the adverts as it didn't seem like it was nearly finished. I then realised there was still an hour to go and said I bet it's basically an hour of explosions left. It was. There was fuck all else on like.

Tooj 17 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Watched that last night and thought it was class like. One of those films that creates a great atmosphere simply by the dialogue being so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44173 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Aye I'm gonna give Lehane's books a go. He did the screenplay as well and I've enjoyed all the films I've seen of his books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1217 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Foxcatcher. Great performances from the three leads and if like me you know nothing about the story, it was a very interesting twist ending. The film definitely suggested to me that there was some sort of homosexual relationship between Du Pont and Mark Schultz (at least from Du Pont's side) which I understand Schultz has vigorously denied. Predestination. Ethan Hawke in a very odd time travel film. I like Hawke and sci fi films with a bit of thought behind them so I enjoyed it although some of the twists were pretty obvious (despite being so strange)and it did seem similar in some ways to 12 Monkeys which is vastly superior. Also watched Zulu a couple of hundred times over Christmas. Never tire of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44173 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Aye I quite liked Foxcatcher. It was mainly about the performances though, the story was a bit empty and meh. Got Predestination for tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 21768 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Midnight in Paris. Typically enjoyable Woody Allen effort with a slightly ridiculous plot. Still enjoyable dialogue as with most of his films Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44173 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Ugh God,i thought Midnight in Paris was the most pretentious load of shit I've ever seen. I like Owen Wilson as well, but what a pile of spunk that was from the stepchild-fucker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trophyshy 7066 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Warm Bodies, on Amazon Prime. Nice twist on a desperately tired genre (zombie apocalypse). One you can enjoy with your other half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Foxcatcher. Great performances from the three leads and if like me you know nothing about the story, it was a very interesting twist ending. The film definitely suggested to me that there was some sort of homosexual relationship between Du Pont and Mark Schultz (at least from Du Pont's side) which I understand Schultz has vigorously. Agree, Du Pont definitely had grooming tendencies about him. Thought Carrell played the part very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
