Up The Middle

Quote from: Longshanks on January 14, 2016, 10:54:27 AM
Watched a film there at the weekend called spotlight, had wanted to see it for a while and won a lot of awards. Bases on the true story of the boston globe in 2001 uncovering the catholic church sex scandals.

Really good film in my opinion.

Really enjoyed it. Keaton and Ruffalo excellent in it.
I'm very important. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.

Yeah one of the most talented casts I've recently seen with Stanley, Tucci, Rachel Mc Adams, Billy Crudup and Liev Schreiber also.

But effectively the Boston Globe guys are merely note takers, so it will be a tough one for him

Watched 'The Big Short' again a good cast very slick and massively infuriating because you know this shit happened!!!

The best of the screeners I've watched so far including Hateful 8 and Spotlight.

Finally got round to watching Sicario last night, solid enough film with a few twists.

Personally I didn't think Emily Blunt didn't carry off the action role as pleasing as she is on the eye and once again  Benicio Del Toro stole the show.

Would recommend it for two hours viewing alright.

Walter Cronc

Didnt really like Sicario until the very end.

Anyone saw the revenant?

Yep, saw it Saturday night.
6/10. Too long, story a bit meh. Visuals are brilliant though.
Tom Hardy more deserving of an award than Di Caprio.

I watched two films recently:

The Martian: I thought it was pretty good, enjoyable enough show without being too taxing.7/10

Jobs: I was a bit disappointed in this. it was OK, but didn't really grab the interest the way it should as someone who has recently finished the Jobs biography. 5/10

Didn't really like The Martian at all. It was OK but I was expecting more.
