AVFCDAN Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 2 films I watched again recently We need to talk about Kevin - excellent performances all round especially john c Reilly who normally plays the comedy roles, just a really good film. The double - one of my favourite films of the last year easily, excellent performances from Jesse eissenberg and Mia wasakowska, can't wait to see more from the director richard ayoade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brumerican Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 (edited) Watched Draft day, really enjoyed it. Might not be as good for anyone not into NFL thoughLook on YouTube for the " 30 for 30 (From Elway to Marino)" documentary . I think you will enjoy it .Watched it. Enjoyed it a lot. I think it was you that introduced me to the 30 for 30 series with the one about the Raiders and Rap - I just watched the Bo Jackson one, they're extraordinary. Thank you.I don't think you even have to like NFL to enjoy the Elway to Marino one . They are just really well executed documentaries. If you do like NFL however then I dare anybody not to love it ! In a nutshell it is about the infamous 1983 draft where a record 6 QB's went in the first round . Elway was wanted by everyone (Including the New York Yankees baseball club) and Elway wanted to go pretty much anywhere other than the Baltimore Colts who had the first pick . Cue some dramatic bluffs, deals and last minute cliffhangers and you are left with a movie quality thriller , even if everyone knows the outcome ! For me though , Marino's reaction at being the last QB to go ,especially behind Ken (who is he ?) O'Brien , was brilliant !

O'Brien , was brilliant ! if you watch them on youtube and then follow the links theres loads of good NFL documentaries out there, im assuming its because of who owns the footage making it easier to do whereas premier league or european football is distributed differently its harder to do, think ive watched all the 30 for 30 films (once brothers is still my favourite i think) all the football life stuff, all the americas game, now going through the ESPN short films and their other documentaries, watched a good one on Herschel Walker in the week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 the best 30 for 30 is the two escobars, one of the best docs ever made, imo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Yeah forgot about two escobars, I'd watched that before I knew what 30 for 30 was, just thought someone had made a film about it so forgot it was part of the series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 (edited) Dracula Untold. Alot better than i expected Solid throughout not historically accurate of course but still worthy of a 7/10 Edited November 8, 2014 by AshVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wittmann Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 fury - very good, got a good mix between the grimness and violence of it all whilst still remaining a character study more than anything else, all of the 5 main characters are good, it looks and sounds great, like someone else said best war film probably since letters from iwo jima Agree with your thoughts on Fury. I know a few of the guys playing as german extras and the guy who advised David Ayer on everything german in the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginko Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Friday Night Lights - my favourite American Football movie. Explosions in the Sky are essentially the soundtrack. What more could you want? Way better than the TV show which was far too much like a soap opera for me. This film focuses on the story of the team with just a couple of minor sub-plots concerning some of the players but that's it. Brilliant. FNL was great, but it's no Any Given Sunday. One of my favourite movie scenes ever. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9rFx6OFooCs "In any fight, it's the guy who's willing to die, who's gonna win that inch and I know if I'm gonna have any life anymore, it's because I'm still willing to fight and die for that inch. Because that's what living is, the 6 inches in front of your face" Pacino is a god amongst men I'm a huge fan of Pacino, so it pains me to say this, but Any Given Sunday is absolute **** garbage. It's nothing to do with Pacino, and Foxx put in a good performance too, but that film is just cheesy and totally shite. I really don't like Oliver Stone's style.

Xela Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Filth (2013) - I thought this would be an exceptionally difficult book to put on the big screen but I think I did a good job of it! McAvoy is great as Bruce Robertson and a lot of the stuff in the book is in the film (obviously condensed). Some really funny moments in it as well. 7.5/10 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some really funny moments in it as well. 7.5/10 I thought it was decent although some of it felt forced and rushed. The tapeworm monologues were always going to be a challenge too far though I think. McAvoy was great to the point I now picture him as Robertson in the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 (edited) I love Turner (who doesn't? oh, you don't? let's fight!) so I really want to see it, but I've heard it isn't really an attempt to explore/understand the artist.

Designer1 Posted November 9, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted November 9, 2014 Going to watch the Station Agent again later, just to see Tyrion Lannister and Gyp Rosetti on the screen at the same time* *and because let's face it, it's a **** superb film. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Loved the station agent too. A real gem of a film and gets you right in the feels at times too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
