CVByrne Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 What we do in the Shadows - funniest film I've seen in a long time. It's a mocumentary about 4 vampires who share a flat in Wellington, NZ. The run in with the werewolves is just comedy gold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I see 'May' is on Netflix. Good, and very weird, horror film with a great soundtrack and completely unhinged performance by Angela Bettis. Worth checking out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted January 13, 2015 Moderator Share Posted January 13, 2015 Bad Boy Bubby is on youtube - it's bizarre, it's disgusting, it's comic and it's somehow touching. Not a date movie, but interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Watched Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon again. Still so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Watched All is Lost this evening. Robert Redford is terrific. Could have ended either way, yet the ending was still so powerful. Excellent drama. Not one for those who love dialogue mind 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer1 Posted January 13, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted January 13, 2015 Just finished watching Whiplash. Absolutely superb stuff, top notch acting from Jk Simmons and Miles Teller and a really absorbing story. Well recommended. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pooligan Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Castles In The Sky (2014) A enjoyable film set in England during wartime England.It is the story of the guy who invented Radar.Eddie Izzard who i must admit i had only ever thought of as a comedian was really good in his role as Robert Watson Watt. I rated it a 7/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted January 14, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) Blimey, first Alan Turing, now Watson-Watt. It's a WWII boffins fest. Coming soon: Barnes Wallis and Gromit in The Curse of the V2 Bunnies. Edited January 14, 2015 by mjmooney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAVe80 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) Watched Big Fish on Film 4 last night. Had not see it in a while, and it struck me that it's pretty underated. Up there with Tim Burton's best work (although not quite Ed Wood level). Edited January 14, 2015 by dAVe80 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted January 14, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted January 14, 2015 Just finished watching Whiplash. Absolutely superb stuff, top notch acting from Jk Simmons and Miles Teller and a really absorbing story. Well recommended. Interesting. I saw the trailer for that at the cinema last week and thought it looked absolutely dreadful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely superb stuff, top notch acting from Jk Simmons and Miles Teller and a really absorbing story. Well recommended. Interesting. I saw the trailer for that at the cinema last week and thought it looked absolutely dreadful. It's a really enjoyable movie. It's got a very tight narrative and the whole thing is basically built around an emotional sparring match between Simmons and Teller with some superb acting from both of them. It was great seeing Simmons have a movie pretty much to himself as he's usually a supporting character, but if this is anything to go by his ability to carry a movie almost single handed can't be denied. He really is that good. Also worth pointing out how well the movie is shot. The claustrophobic settings of the music rooms and the camera work on the drums (vital to the story) are excellent as is the directors eye for people and emotion. All in all, a really good watch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case they should sack whoever made the trailer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Hmm Color of Money. Enjoyable follow up to The Hustler but not as good by any means Tom Cruise is really annoying. Still, can't not enjoy Paul Newman really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched All is Lost this evening. Robert Redford is terrific. Could have ended either way, yet the ending was still so powerful. Excellent drama. Not one for those who love dialogue mind Such a good movie that. I have it between that and Locke for my favourite of 2014. I must like the whole one man in (almost) isolation thing. I'm a sucker for stripped down, bare bones acting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darrenm Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Wasn't massively taken with Locke. It was alright as a bit of an art house project but Hardy's accent was a bit dodgy and it doesn't quite have enough of anything to really grip you.
