Bone Tomahawk. Very cool and different western horror. Looks extremely good considering the small $1,8m budget. Cinematography is great, and there are memorable performances from Patrick Wilson, Kurt Russell, Richard Jenkins and even Matthew Fox. The scares are very effective because unlike what is usual, there's no use of music to telegraph or clue you in on when they are happening. Oh, and that death scene.

Wasn't a fan. Started well but its poorly paced and I found none of the horror scary, just silly.

I can imagine many people not liking it. I agree about the pace to be fair.

If Nolan can find the balance between the human element of the guys on the beach waiting to be saved with the overarching bigger picture of the war and the strategic reasons for what happened we could have a classic on our hands. That probably won't be an easy task though. I feel like this movie will either be brilliant or very underwhelming.

Some haunting shots for sure, guy walking into the water and the reaction to hearing planes honing in on packed like sardines troops.

Some really good docu movies this month. Sully is really well written to delve deep into the pilot's mindset and Deep Water Horizon really kept me at the edge of my seat the entire time.

To be honest I'm pretty sure I'm going to hate this film after Interstellar.

Watched Spotlight recently. I enjoyed it a lot, thought it was a solid 7 or 8 out of ten. I don't think it's up there though with the best Best Picture Oscar winners. There wasn't a lot in the way of suspense. perhaps because we all know the terrible stories by now. Also there wasn't much in the way of character development - the key reporters had moments where it felt like something might develop but then not much did. And the "big reveal" about why documents had been buried by the newspaper years before didn't really do much either.

Good piece about one of the most beautiful opening scenes in a film that I know of: https://www.criterion.com/current/posts/4249-stranger-songs-the-music-of-leonard-cohen-in-mccabe-mrs-miller

Watched Grimsby on the flight out to New York last weekend. Such a hoot

Rewatched Michael Clayton.   Enjoyed it very much.   Clooney comes through as the fixer lawyer for big time NYC law firm.  A realistic taste of the grit and grim of shady legal practices.  Hollywood done good.
Saw the Fassbender version of Steve Jobs.   Liked it, although I wonder if in real life he was so mean spirited.
Saw the latest Bridget Jones , a piece of fluff.

Love Michael Clayton.

and syriana

Looking forward to this:

Looks promising.

Damn, looks pretty epic.

What a trailer. Can't wait.

Force Awakens has completely dampened any excitement I have for future Star Wars movies.

Dark Helmet sighting at 1:27

Trailer looks great though. Can't wait.

Trailer for Force Awakens was great, too...
