Watched The Master last night.

F*ck me but that director is some ballix, same lad who did There Will Be Blood. Beautifully shot but doesn't give two shites about the actual story. Nearly threw my shoe at the TV at the end it was so frustrating. Savage acting from joaquin phoenix and philip seymour hoffman all things being said. 4/10

There Will Be Blood any good?

There Will Be Blood any good?

Depends on how you look at it. Not for everyone to say the least, I didn't particularly enjoy it. Great acting again and shots but the story itself and ending in particular annoyed me.

Have it downloaded a long time but yet to watch it, just don't know what to expect other than the usual good performance from Day-Lewis.

Don't expect much more, the director is different to say the least. Part of me likes that rather than the same old same old but on the other hand, you'll probably just think you wasted 2+ hours of your life after watching it.

At least it had an ending compared with "no country for old men". Talk of overhyped films then ncfom has to be up there. A car accident and a story with no sense, yet won all the acclaim that year.

Don't dare criticise NCFOM on here or the gaaboard Barry Normans will be on spouting off that not every film needs action and a decent ending etc etc.  I liked NCFOM but just didn't like how Josh Brolin was in it one minute and not the next.  As for There Will Be Blood, can remember very little about it actually but I do remember it was very good.

The problem with NCFOM was that it was an accurate film based on a novel that wasn't very satisfactory to begin with, similar to The Butcher Boy.

Watched a film called sideways last night on sky movies, think it won an Oscar in 2004 for best film, its like a sophisticated version of the hangover, very good movie.

It's a great wee show. Watch it every time it is on. Makes me thirsty though!

Would be rude to watch it without a nice pinot noir.

Watched The Sting the other day for the first time. Enjoyed every minute. Hadn't even heard of it and was told to watch it next chance I got. Lucky enough the next day it was on Sky Movies so recorded it. Great show.

Great film.

Saw Zero Dark Thirty the other night. A decent film, plenty of action and drama in it. I did feel the film was around 20-30 minutes too long though.
