Saw the new Danny Boyle one, Trance. Thought it was shit. Loud and shiny and convoluted for no other reason than to be convoluted. Though, some of the ones I watched it with thought it was great, so it seems to float some boats.

Have also gone through the five best foreign language movies from this year's Oscars. All very watchable, the first two from below in particular. A special mention should be made for the young lead in War Witch; if Hollywood wanted to include a child from a relatively obscure film for their best actress category this year then Rachel Mwanza should have been the obvious choice, and not that annoying brat from Beast of the Southern Wild.

Amour - 9/10
A Royal Affair - 8.5/10
No - 7/10
War Witch - 6.5/10
Kon-Tiki - 6/10

I thought Trance was a good entertaining movie. It has a 7.5 rating on imdb.

There you go, it does float some boats then. Did nothing for me. All style and no substance, after the fifth or sixth twist I was fed up.

What did you then, go onto gaa board and be an annoying p***k?

Settle petal. Surely that big win tonight takes some of the edge off?

And if you're still wondering, it was Argue as in disagree, dispute, etc.

No dispute about who argue is, maybe you were at the game and can let us know that he didn't play well?

Top notch. There is one from the same crowd being released shortly which also has Ricardo Darin, called "Tesis sobre un homicidio"  or "Thesis on a homicide". Not read any reviews yet but was big in Argentina.

Watching 'Donnie Brasco' now, great show.

Loads of cam but nothing decent on katproxy.com last night when I was checking.

Anyone know a torrent of The Hunt (Jagten). Danish movie from last year, supposed to be very good. Struggling to find one.

Good film alright, saw it a few weeks ago. Can't remember if was on Lovefilm or Itunes, but think it was the latter

Sound, looks good alright. Saw another Danish movie last night with the same guy who is in The Hunt and bad guy from a bond movie...
Called "Flame and Citron", set in occupied Denmark, two Danish lads in the resistance, decent enough 7/10

Mads Mikkelson is the chap in these. He was also in A Royal Affair which I think got some noms at the Oscars. I listen to Mark Kermode's podcast and he rares him as one of the best about at the minute.

I found Jagten on Kickass Torrents with hard subs.
The.Hunt.[Jagten].2012.DVDRip.XviD.AC3.HORiZON-ArtSubs
But the subs read like they're machine translated. Still, you get the meaning.
It's a superb focused film dealing with the most painful of themes in a small community and Mads does play the part.

The storyline is a low key reminiscence of the full blown HBO's 'Indictment: The McMartin Trial' and other similar famous witch hunt persecutions where mentally deranged religious nutcases/social workers, fabricated the most bizarre sexual abuse cases out of figments from their own satanic nightmares.

Watched it over the weekend. Well worth a look, nearly wanted to climb into the TV at how stupid the principal was, think that's what the director was going for though. 8/10

Watched part of Cowboys and Aliens last night, how they got Harrison Ford to act in this movie is beyond me. I didnt even get the whole way through it, pure rubbish.
