Gave that film Bully (released 2001) a watch last night and wow. Based on the true story of a group of teenagers who plot to murder their crazy, a-hole of a friend. Really messed up film. It won't be for everyone, very fast paced and the style is subjective but really worth a watch to see a sheer emotional roller-coaster of a film.

7/10

I wonder how far from the book, it was based on, it strayed.
Anyway, enjoyed it.

I did too. It's utterly mental. It wasn't as good as I hoped but I still enjoyed it. But I am a big fan of that particular gang of actors.

Love This Is The End. Seem like they're really having some fun with their movie making

I think someone already posted about this but, I couldn't find it -

Frankenhooker -
So truly awful that it was sort of funny.
Don't go out of your way to watch it.

Watched La La Land last night - pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it.

Romance films don't usually do it for me but this was something else entirely. Acting was great and the music was phenomenal.
Really reminded me of watching musicals with my parents when I was a kid - Calamity Jane & Singing in the Rain etc.

Would recommend to everyone now - unless you really hate either Ryan Gosling & Emma Stone or musicals.

Recently watched Glengarry Glen Ross which mate recommended really good.
Definitely not an action film but superb acting.

It was 'hook', thought it was about Peter Pan or something

 

[verreauxi]

Saw Pacific Islanders last night. Documentary about Tonga, Fiji, and Samoa rugby players and their impact on the game. Good stuff.

The short film about Weiners on the extras on blu ray is Deffo tripping stuff.

This subtle, thought-provoking tale begins in a restaurant, where the intractable Gibbons (an on-point Samuel L.Jackson) muses on the precarious balance of world affairs to an attentive Neymar Jr., who has seemingly decided to trade in his lucrative footballing career for a life of public service in the eponymous XXX program. After foiling a violent hold-up with his famous footballing skills, Neymar and Gibbons are incinerated by a crashing satellite.

Cut to Langley, where Head of CIA Jane Marke (Toni Colette turning in a tour-de-force performance) explains that terrorists had gotten their hands on a device which can control all 30,000 satellites orbiting Earth, threatening the very existence of America. "The nerds down in the lab call it Pandora's Box" Colette earnestly intones, before revealing that diligent CIA agents managed to retrieve the device and restore security to the world. However, after a ninja jumps 60 feet from a nearby skyscraper, murders most of the room and stows away with the device, an international crisis ensues that only one man can stop.

This may very well be regarded as Vin Diesel's "Raging Bull", as his subtle and nuanced portrayal of conflicted agent, Xander Cage, is the fulcrum on which XXX hinges. Every micro-expression and word is laden with the weight of responsibility one might expect a man, who single-handedly murders armies for a living, would have to grapple with.

What ensues is a thought-provoking commentary on love, war and international relations, as the very depths of the human condition are explored through high speed mountainside skiing, trucktop hand to hand combat on a busy motorway and a zero gravity fight on a plummeting military jet. Ice Cube lends his gravitas to proceedings with a subtle cameo in which he eviscerates 2 elite military units with a grenade launcher. "Rock, Scissors, Paper, Grenade Launcher".
Beautiful.

After Vin Diesel has blown up a weaponised satellite by flying a jet into it, we are left to ponder some very deep questions about life, including the NSA's infringement of privacy, the positive influence of America in global unity, the benefit of cooperation over conflict and the important role of women in society.
