Just finished up the second series of Veep. Julia-Louis Dreyfus is wonderful.

Inside Llewyn Davis, I'll have to watch this again. The Coen Brothers don't seem to be making the quality movies they were making years ago

'Weekend' (2011). Romantic brief encounter type story between two young men. Beautifully filmed, down to earth and realistic. Nice use of natural light, the daylight sort of seeping/shining through every frame like it does in real life... Lots of talking, some sex, some kissing and more talking, etc.- but mostly a meeting of two like minds who connect. Never too dramatic or too quiet, just a perfectly balanced story. Very romantic actually. I cried (but I'm sentimental!). One of the best LGBT films I've seen- just a good film full stop.
The Craft (1996). Neve Campbell et al do witchcraft at a Catholic school. Her indoors feeling miserable due to hangover and failed driving test so fancied the sort of shit she watched as a teenager. Which also explains :
Tank Girl (1995). Lord Petty doing some sort of kooky post-apocalyptic cyberpunk shtick. Opening credits are aces but goes down hill rapidly. Ice t though

What We Do In The Shadows
much funnier than the trailer made it look. Vampire mockumentary.

Interstellar - there's a good film buried in there somewhere, but it's a mess as presented.
Cube (1997). Six people wake up in a giant cube with thousands is rooms and have to find a way out while trying to avoid legal booby traps along the way. Script and acting aren't great, and it got a bit meh as it went on. Half-dozen effort, I suppose.

its not just the martial arts, quality though they are. Its that floor by floor clearance job, ladled a sort of claustrophobic sense of intense violence
Dredd is also good for the tower clearance combat to

Yes it was really well done, quite scary and unsettling at times.

For some reason I never saw the final season at the time (I think I drifted away sometime during season 5), but when I binged the whole lot in one go, I was really impressed by the switch around. I mean, so fucked up, but after six seasons of getting you to root for a violent, corrupt thug, it made no less sense. That series turned it into a proper tragedy. The final epilogue scene was perfect, too.

Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.
Watched Horace Ové's Playing Away about a cricket team from Brixton going to the country to play a village team.
Last time I watched it was on a b&w portable telly back when it aired on channel four....I was about 16, still living at home.
Loved it this time around too...funny, poignant, questioning, but not preachy. Funny to see so many actors who went on to become famous in TV land later on....most notably Joseph Marcell who went on to play Geoffrey in The Fresh Prince of Bel Air....
Some great Brixton location scenes too....

Child's Pose - low-key, naturalistic, miserabilist sort of art house movie from Romania which does have a brilliant performance at its centre in a portrait of a totally over-enmeshed, almost incestuous mother who can't stop herself from getting involved and pulling every string she can to get her son, who's run over and killed a young lad, out of trouble. Basically you don't learn much more at the end than a) Romania's a corrupt and cynical society right now and b) mothers will do almost anything for their children. Not sure I needed this movie to know either and can't really see why it was so highly praised (it's not in the same league as Death of Mr Lazarescu or others), although the acting really is impressive.

We are the Best - it really IS the best! agree with every rave review it had and everyone liking it here. it's just spiky enough (in every sense) not to be too cute, it's fun and feminist and baggy and anarchic and sardonic enough to be just the ideal movie about being a teenage punk. Lukas Moodysson proper back on form and it has all the charm and sly sidewise humour of Together - but fewer annoying sanctimonious hippies. The three girl actresses are fantastic and the direction has all the rush and crash and dodge of proper teenagerdom. I fucking loved everything about it (<- see how punk it made me feel!)
(you might or might not think it's suitable for viewers as young as the 13y/os portrayed - there's really a lot of swearing, if you care about that (not fucking likely on urban, but FYI hypocritical fascist parents) and a bit of very mild drinking (and puking) and implied snogging/groping/who knows what. plus some very regrettable homemade haircuts
. but in some ways, weirdly, it's a sweetly nostalgic portrait of a more innocent age … no porn, no internet, no texts, no selfies, no molesters, no vampires … and FANZINES and FIXED LINE PHONES OMG!!!
