The Iceman

I watched Mud there over the weekend. Not sure what to make of it. It was very slow at times, but had some cracking performances and very likable characters... I enjoyed it but maybe not being the learned new movie mogul of the modern era (I'm an 80s, 90s man) I missed something that still leaves me wondering....
6/10

Trance- directed by danny boyle
meh - 6.5/10

Thought Trance was ok, Roasario Dawson showing the whole fandingo was unexpected.

Watched Mud at the weekend, very good.  Fast and the Furious 6 was good too.
Minute and second please  ;D

Wife went to see Diana tonight.
Said it was crap. Spoiler alert she dies in a car crash at the end.

Milltown Row2

Scored 58, surprised but the ones I had watched I wasn't really into that type

Watched Insidious tonight, crap

Listened to a bit of a review of Filth last night and now I can't wait to see it. The guy was raving about McAvoy's performance!! Apparently it's not one to take the Missus too though!

Ah shite - we're going tonight! Will let you know what she thinks of it. Maybe I'll just go on my own! Mind you, just got some expenses from County Board, so she's getting taken out beforehand, so 1/2 ain't bad, if the film ain't her cup of tea!

Milltown Row2

Went to the Grand Opera house last night, an old friend of mine had his play in the Baby Grand upstairs in main building.

It's called the Man in the moon, brilliant local play about life in West Belfast (though it would relate to most places), dealing with a lot of current issues. Very well acted by Ciaran Nolan who'd acted in the Pulling moves show and Man about a dog. Last showing tonight but I think this will get another run. 10/10

A poor man's Trainspotting. Few laughs in it but too much laid on McEvoy's character to carry the movie.

Acid House is great crack. Another one based on the awesome writing of Irvine Welsh.

Watched This Is The End last night. Pish.

Agree - would be hard to replicate Trainspotting! But, went to see Filth last night - was going to say I "enjoyed" it, but that's not quite the right word! Well worth seeing though & McEyoy is excellent in it.

Would give Filth a 7/10.

Had read the book so half expected what to see. Very good imo but not probably to everyone's taste. McAvoy very good in it.

Welsh's books make better films or so it would seem so far.
