I watched "It follows" and found it to be pretty great; the director really knows how to create a suspenseful and threatening mood. The scenes in midday, during sunlight, were quite effective and managed to be scary. And the soundtrack also was well integrated with the visuals. I liked it.

I also liked the one he made after it - Under the Silver Lake, although not many others did. Andrew Garfield and Riley Keough are usually worth watching, IMO.

Matthew Rhys plays a cynical journalist sent to write a profile of Tom Hanks, a too good to be true children's TV presenter. I want to describe this as the worst type of mush that ever Hollywood produced but that would gloss over the fact that this is an extremely well made and enjoyable movie ...

On Netflix from the middle of next week, too.

Yeah I noticed at the start it was a Netflix film, glad it's getting a short cinema run first just to support those places

I thoroughly enjoyed that film.
This came up on my Twitter feed the other day

Gravity

The story of how the career of rising Hollywood star Jean Seberg came to a shuddering halt. Kristen Stewart is very believable in the role as the actress whose insistence on supporting the most radical of civil rights protestors brought very close attention from powerful people determined to discredit her ...

Never let negative reviews put you off seeing a film, there isn't a film in the history of cinema that people, well some people don't like. When IMBD had message boards, every film had a "worst film ever" thread.

Those boards were fantastic. Real shame they shut it down.

Yeah I was gutted about that, they were a good source of debate and recommendations for other films.

Finally watched 1917 the other night and absolutely loved it. The first 45 minutes was one of the most sustained periods of intensity of any film I've ever seen. Thought it lost its way a little in the middle but brilliant film all around.

Saw Lovers Rock, one of the five films in the Small Axe anthology which is on the BBC next month. It was OK, and it's nicely filmed, but in all honesty I can't see what everyone's raving about. But I do think McQueen is a very capable director, even if he's massively overrated.

Decent enough gothic thriller, looks very nice, worked out the ending after about 45 minutes though.

What was shaping up to be a great film ended in disappointment as it took the easy route and descended into over-sentimentality (if that is such a word)...

Lars and the real girl.

Gosling smashing it out the park again.

Was a decent watch

Just watched Torn Curtain, Hitchcock with Paul Newman, decent film but outside of Hitchcocks top 10 IMO.
Decent story, did have a few good scenes but I've seen Newman give much better performances, in fact I dont think he and the leading lady had chemistry as good as other couples in Hitchcock's films.
I enjoyed it though I guess.
