'Sling Blade'

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117666/?ref_=nv_sr_1

1996 film - Billy Bob Thornton wrote, directed and starred in this.

A real slow burner but wonderful. The acting is top notch and it's incredibly engaging.

8/10.
Great film. (He looks older in this than he does in the series Fargo! - 18 years later)
Cracking film! We spent months saying "alright then" in his voice after watching hehe


I watched A Walk Among the Tombstones and thought it was alright, 6.5/10. Really F'ing dark though! I reckon it should've been an 18.

A Most Wanted Man 7/10 - Preferred this to Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.

The Dark Knight Rises

I think this film series must be one of the most overrated of all time. It's ok, but it's not the great cinematic masterpiece that loads of people seem to make it out to be...
Interstellar & Inception also left me cold.
Can't help thinking that Nolan peaked around the time of The Prestige/TDK & is now in decline.

Fury road.


Hmmm I really don't get the hype over this. Perhaps a second viewing might help.


Tom hardy was wasted. Might as well gave not been there.mshould have called it tetchy furiosa road.

There was one plus, Nicholas Hoult I thought was excellent. 5/10
I agree, and it doesn't.
Definitely a film that needs to be watched at the cinema to get the full benefit. If you didn't like the cinematography then I feel sorry for you.
Don't worry those two never enjoy anything.

Untrue, I assume I just rarely agree with you based on your comment? Doesn't make either of us wrong as that's just the way subjectivity works.
Don't worry he's still upset I didn't like that film he liked. Checks last page where I rave about a film and rate it over 8 and this page were I say repo man was awesome and a cult classic check if you want it's a few posts up. so he's also wrong with his statement.

Yep, it certainly looked great.
another negative for MM: FR. there were bits that really were good and some of the set-pieces were amazing however as a whole the film really didn't work for me over-all better than MM:3 but behind the other 2

Style over substance again I'm afraid. It looked great, action was fabulous I just didn't care for any of the characters. Max wasn't present. Didn't care if any of the women fell under a truck. Thought the old birds at the end were interesting.

I think though I might rate it higher after another view. Re watched mm2 again yesterday and it has so much more to it. Not just a chase.

This thread was always any film. Then some tool started a bad thread. Who looks at that...who goes out to look for bad films.
