Starred Up (2013, downloaded)

Dark prison drama starring Jack O’Connell, Ben Mendelsohn, Rupert Friend and Anthony Welsh.

Great acting and cast. Superb direction by David McKenzie. Recommended.

7.5/10

Calm With Horses (2019, downloaded)

Dark, moving Irish crime drama starring Cosmo Jarvis, Barry Keoghan, Anthony Welsh and Niamh Algar.

A gang enforcer tries to punish a sex offender while trying to help his autistic son. Cosmo Jarvis in particular delivers an incredible performance.

This is almost exactly what I imagine Sean C’s life to be like, you can certainly see some of the parallels in Keoghan’s fashion choices. Highly recommended.

8/10

-si-

Bit unfair, cj. I don’t think sean was ever convicted of those accusations and managed to stay off the register.

Watched ‘Chinatown’ for the first time last night. Great flick but loses marks for a notable lack of superheroes with super powers making things explode.

Along_the_Wire

Wally LOL - great film that. Jack Nicholson’s broken nose is the standout for me.

Homegrove

It does have one of the best villains ever in it though.

Jules72

Saint Maud… about a palliative care nurse looking after a woman dying of a cancer. Former starts losing by the plot and interfering in her life. Basically a horror film along the lines of Carrie. Thought it was well made and acted, and had some genuinely scary moments. 7.5/10

Jules72 where did you see it mate?

Jules72

Borat 2 - flat in parts but with some amusing scenes… worth watching though for Giuliani trying to get it on with Borats sister….7/10

TitianWarrior

Jules72 his daughter, not his sister. The father daughter dance at the ball had me watching through my fingers, like a horror film!

Dubman

Jules72
Tried watching it yesterday but binned after 20 mins. Will give it another go at go weekend.

Dubman definitely not as good as the first one, but worth watching. i found it got better as it went along.

Jules72

Along_the_Wire Odeon… completely empty.. would have gone to the Curzon but time didn’t work

Get Carter, still boss, five bottle of Newcie Brown out of five, Cain at his moody best. The idea that they tried to remake it with Stallone is mad. Also, forgot the scene where they go to the ‘Big Beat’ night, no Fat Boy in sight.

Unbroken1

Amps …Brown Ale fact: only referred to as ‘Newkie Brown’ outside the NE, known in the Toon as ‘THE DOG’.

Millsy

Still love the ‘eyes like piss holes in the snow’ line in Get Carter. Great film.

alistair

Prime Britt Ekland too
“You’re a big man, but you’re in bad shape. With me it’s a full time job. Now behave yourself” Great quote.

Amps

You don’t see too many films either where the main protagonist doesn’t win in the end. Refreshingly dark stuff.

Homegrove

The aforementioned Chinatown comes to mind in that regard.

My favorite bleak ending is The Mist though.

Amps

Oh and also got onto the sniper being in the train carriage with him on the way to Newcastle, almost too subtle.

Millsy

Never clocked that. Seen it loads of times but been a good ten years since I last watched it. That final scene on the beach is bleak with the slag being dumped into the sea iirc
