Popular Post sheepyvillian Posted February 4, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 4, 2018 Had the pleasure of seeing Calvary, again on iPlayer. For me it's nothing Short of a masterpiece, with Gleeson in magnificent form, ( a Villa fan too ) the way the film deals with such weighty issues is a lesson in life. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I laughed because I thought you meant the rumour was a load of rubbish. I cant believe they have really dropped it on there out of nowhere like that! Mental. It's getting some mixed reactions, but apparently it answers quite a few questions from the first? Edited February 5, 2018 by wazzap24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only seen it once when it came out but I still think it has become one of my all-time favourite modern films. Superb. Both Mcdonagh brothers have produced classics as it was the other one who did 3 Billboards and In Bruges I think wasn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 this could be good or awful, McBride is another unfunny actor though rest of cast is interesting. I assume Crowe playing Rupert Murdoch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to be getting slated by critics, but user reviews are ok? I love Cloverfield and the 10 Cloverfield Lane movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Cloverfield and the 10 Cloverfield Lane movie. I thought it was pap. Wasn’t interesting, thought I was watching two different films at the same time. I think I just wanted a proper CF2 and it’s obvious I’m never getting it. It’s now one of those very loosely connected stories style anthology series like V/H/S or Twilight Zone but with a franchise weirdly shoehorned in.

mykeyb Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Open House - You can find it on Netflix. First hour and a bit builds nicely but the last 15 minutes is terrible. I cannot say much more without spoiling it If thats the right phrase...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know about the brother thing, but, yeah, I loved Bruges, also, another fine Gleeson performance, he's definitely up there as one of my favorite actors. Tbh, I thought his performance in Calgary was worthy of an Oscar, he absolutely nailed it. The script was also worthy of honours. Some great memorable lines. I loved when he said to his fellow, inept, priest, " I don't hate you, you just have no integrity, and I couldn't think of a worse thing to say to somebody ". The way he delivers them lines is just perfection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Reeves and JJ hinted at it a few times, there was talk of another take on the same story being told from another POV, which might have been pretty cool. I just want to see what happened after 'It's still alive'! It's a shame this new one sounds crap, although 10 Cloverfield Lane wasn't a proper sequel, it was still a good film.

Same director and Glesson again (along with a lot of the supporting cast from “Calvary”). Much more of a comedy, but there are some pretty good “quiet” moments with a bit of depth to them. Probably a closer relative to “In Bruges” in tone, it’s very knowing and self aware and a lot of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
