The Sisters Brothers. Was a bit concerned about Jacques Audiard making a film in English, but this really is great stuff. Joaquin Phoenix, John C. Reilly, Jake Gyllenhaal, Riz Ahmed... a great cast, and all on great form. While it often feels familiar, Audiard brings a fresh eye to the western genre, and the whole thing comes together beautifully. It only opened yesterday but I don't think it'll hang around too long, so go and see it while you can. One of the year's best.

Glad you liked it. Far too rare that we get some proper westerns in the cinemas. People should support this genre.

Thought it was dreadful...just one big mess :)
 
Why do people get so concerned about following what was in the books, film is a different medium and concessions often have to be made.

I actually quite liked the Hobbit films, mainly because I rate the LOTR's trilogy by Jackson and the Hobbit films weren't that far off the mark.
If its a book someone loves they will want to see loyalty shown to the source material and a genuine representation of characters painstakingly created. If you are working from someones material you probably owe them at the very least the respect of not misrepresenting their work

If they made a film directly accurate to The Hobbit book it’d be an hour long.

Saw it last night and thought it was great and unexpectedly funny. Not often you see the four main actors play such fragile characters.
