Park Life 70 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Exactly. Ironically, given the condition of Hawking, Turing was too much of a robot to empathise with as much. Ah good point. Turing caught me more off guard cause I knew less about him. Hawking at least had some semblence of a private life for refuge, yet there seemed nowhere for Turing.

Kevin Carr's Gloves 3181 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Fully agree it was absolute fucking bilge. But will win an award because it is about actors and acting. They love that shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right tbh, must admit I'm hoping it doesn't win on account of how shit it was but it no doubt will win some awards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besty 4 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 By the way, watched Birdman as well. What a load of self indulgent shit. I fought the urge to turn it off all the way through. Agreed. Did actually turn off though. Watched Big Fan last night... Meh, Patton Oswalt gets beat up by his favourite NY Giants players, he subsequently gets suspended and the team turns shit. Now you no longer need to watch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 26168 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 When Harry Met Sally - It was pretty much filling in the clips I had seen/seen parodied previously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1115 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Ex Machina. It felt a bit like an episode of Black Mirror (possibly just because it had Domhnall Gleeson in who was in an episode of Black Mirror where he played an artificial intelligence) but I enjoyed it. Gleeson and Isaac are both good and the ending was quite twisty (although one of the twists I think was supposed to be blatently obvious). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 19735 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Blue Valentine. Poignant, if a bit depressing for a Saturday night, portrayal of a disintegrating marriage. Nice juxtaposition between the druse point and happier times. 7/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj 17 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Virunga. Netflix documentary about the struggle faced in the Congo national park of the same name. Lots of in-depth interviews with the rangers and the bond that they have with the Gorilla colony there. Quite a bit of it is also focused around the SOCCO oil company and how they are illegally drilling for oil in the park. Following on from that it shows the impact this will have on the local people and how if you grease a few palms they don't matter in the grand scheme of things. Feel like I'm not selling it enough but it was a definite 10/10 for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1115 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Wild. Thought it was ok in a Straight Story sort of way. John Wick. Seemed a bit like Keanu Reeves trying to do a Steven Segal film with lots of action but very little plot. Got quite a decent supporting cast for the quality of film it is. Watchable in an 80's/90's actioner way. The Wolverine. I'd heard it was shit and had it for ages without bothering to watch it but I was off sick yesterday and couldn't be arsed with deadline day so I gave it a go. Was surprisingly watchable. Yes if I'm going to watch an XMen film I want more mutants than that but it wasn't bad at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The contrast of seeing that half drunk ex-special forces British bloke banging on about how no one gives a fuck about the gorillas and the locals just pretend to care because they're sitting on vast natural resources with the lad who worked with the gorillas everyday was powerful. Powerful documentary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1115 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Calvary. Excellent. Not a comedy like the Guard but still has some great humour to go with the dark subject matter. Brendan Gleeson is excellent as ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
