Howmanheyman 26731 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 (edited) I always hate seeing a 'Brit' win it as their speeches are usually fucking cringeworthy and 100% tailored to the US audience to look quirky and eccentric, you then have to see and hear it a good few times on UK TV/radio as the news presenters gush and wank themselves into oblivion over it. It's only slightly less embarrassing than anyone in the media or in power blethering on about the 'special relationship' whenever there's a yank around. Oldman's speech was nowhere near the worst I've heard from a Brit but he was definitely skirting close to the traditional Brit feigned eccentricity bollocks.

Dr Gloom 19784 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 (edited) i thought oldman's portrayal of churchill was a bit shit tbh. the physical transformation was incredible, but that's surely more down to the prosthetics, and his accent was all over the place. john lithgow was way more convincing in the crown, and he's a yank Edited March 6, 2018 by Dr Gloom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1117 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 You Were Never Really Here. Joaquin Phoenix as a killer for hire specialising in the child sex trade. A brutal watch, particularly for a Sunday afternoon, but unlike most films these days it's not overly long. Phoenix is excellent making the best use of a hammer since Oldboy.

tooner 243 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Saw Ladybird, meh. Not sure what all the fuss was about. Terrible ending, almost like the batteries in the camera gave out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 5899 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Annihilation. Good film but shite ending. Kudos for one of the best movie monsters I’ve seen in a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1117 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I enjoyed Annihilation and thought the ending was good for that sort of film. My only disappointment was that Portman didn't look that great in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adios 717 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Marrowbone is a good intelligent horror, well received by punters but not the critics and The Babysitter is a lot of fun. That's the new horror/comedy from McG, not the mid-nineties Alicia Silverstone vehicle. Two top-notch comedy-horrors in quick succession from Samara Weaving who played the ditzy girlfriend in Three Billboards.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howay 12452 Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Just got back from seeing Isle of Dogs, really enjoyed it. Really odd idea for a film even for Wes Anderson but it was really well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34338 Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 A Quiet Place is good. It's mental how many utter cunts come to a film that's all about silence with their plastic bag collection though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 (edited) Paterno with Pacino, decent performance from him and a sad indictment on how easy it was for paedophiles to get away with it in the past.

It's mental how many utter cunts come to a film that's all about silence with their plastic bag collection though. I saw that the other day too. I thought it was pretty well made and acted but I struggled to get over the gaping plot issues Why haven't the military just nuked these monsters/aliens, why hasn't any government scientists come up with a sound based weapon against enemies who are basically giant ears, who in their right mind would risk having a baby in these circumstances (I know she's belting but cum on her tits ffs), how come these things can hear a small noise when they're nowhere to be seen yet they can't hear a smaller noise when they're just round the corner? At what point does their super hearing stop working?) . I found it worse than Signs in that sense. I also went to see Ghost Stories the other night. I have to admit I was shitting myself somewhat at the Paul Whitehouse section. The other two stories weren't quite as strong and the ending was a bit of a let down but it was still well worth a watch. It's certainly one of the best horror's I've seen in a long time.
