Reply to: Good films this year so far...

[barrydidit]

Been a while since we had one of these, two spring to mind for this year for me;

Locke:

A classic in my view, one mans car journey with one camera down the M1, as his life falls apart without actually seeing any of it on screen.

+1 Quality stuff, thanks for the tip

Rudderless:

Watching it now, bit like 2006's Once in a way, man and music and making it happen...

Went to see the West End show last week, enjoyed going on stage for a beer at the interval, interesting change in perspective. Thought some of the songs sounded familiar, didn't realise it had been a film until I'd read the programme.

Gone Girl was really good even if it had Ben Affleck in it

Enjoyed it apart from the last ten minutes, then the characterisation went all to pot and became ridiculous.

Interstellar might be a good film. Could be crap as well though, depends how much guff they put in it.

bad neighbours is worth a watch

Its not - the husband and wife who live next to the students are just really annoying.

Also I didn't think muich of Locke either.

The film has a different ending

I'd lost interest by the end more or less, and found it a bit too ridiculous to take seriously

I struggled with the book, probably because I disliked the protagonist too much. Sounds like Ben Affleck is a good fit for the role. Twat that he is.

If it is similar to Once then i will definitely watch it.

Locke is also on my watch list.

Recently saw: A most wanted man - excellent movie.

Just goes to show, I was about to dis-recommend Most Wanted Man. Went along on the basis that it had a lot of the elements of 'Tinker Tailor' which I absolutely loved, but for me it was little more than a series of derivative spy-thriller cliches strung together, with none of the atmosphere, period detail or understated performances of TTSS.

Philip Seymour-Hofmann was no better than 'Okay' as the standard 'maverick anti-authority operative with issues' character.

Absolutely loved this film Mrs S dragged me along to see it, Rosamund Pike was brilliant I won't spoil it for anyone.

[Churchill]

The Butler.

[Zero Liability]

He's eye candy.

Locke's on my list to watch.

Edge of Tomorrow - Kind of a mash up of Groundhog Day and Starship Troopers. Entertaining sci-fi action. Best Cruise movie in a long while.
Captain America. Winter Soldier. Most of these Hollywood superhero/comic book thingy's are rubbish. This was surprisingly good.

Locke is ace! Watch ASAP!

Here's the trailer for Rudderless, there's a massive twist near the end all the more surprising since it's not really a mystery type movie, totally caught me out and I can usually spot 'em a mile off..
