I really enjoyed that one, too. I'm sort of in love with Marion Cotillard.
What DVD / Video did you watch last night? (pt3)

I thought Read My Lips and Rust and Bone were very similar, too. Not seen his first one - I'll give it a go, ta.

Ink: Superb low budget fantasy action flick. Exceptional.

Martha Marcy May Marlene (Sean Durkin 2011) Very good American indie film about a young woman escaping an abusive cult, family relationships, and the ambiguous relationship between reality and delusion. Elizabeth Olsen, Sarah Paulson and John Hawkes are all excellent.

The surrealist Czech New Wave film Valerie and Her Week of Wonders, which has one of the most beautiful soundtracks ever written and which was a huge influence on Angela Carter. The Company of Wolves is almost like a remake, which substitutes werewolves for Valerie's vampires.
Now I'm watching an 80s horror film with Pierce Brosnan doing a terrible French accent, called Nomads which is very silly in a very 80s sort of way. It's also got Adam Ant and ex-Warhol superstar turned B-movie queen Mary Woronov in it. She is always worth watching. Horrible score though, electric guitars noodling away and "scary" just doesn't go together.

To me he'll always be Cowboy Curtis lol.

I think he's alright in Hannibal. He does that violence-simmering-beneath-the-surface thing quite well. Not Oscar-winning stuff but OK for this. I always liked him as the stoner kid way out of his depth in Apocalypse Now. He must've been about 18 or something then.
ETA: only 14 according to this.

Famously so, Voley, famously so! (At least when they started shooting, anyhow.)ETA: only 14 according to this.

The Voices, a film which just seems to be there to prove how difficult it is to pull off a black comedy successfully. Almost nothing works about this attempt to play a serial killer story for laughs, as the film tries painfully hard to be quirky. In the end I had no idea what this film was trying to do or why it exists (deranged serial killers are people too?). Playing mental illness and the gruesome murder of women for laughs ultimately does come off as offensive when the film also strains to be cute. What is especially odd is that the film was directed (if not written) by a woman. It's the third film by comic book artist Marjane Satrapi who made the excellent Persepolis and it seems like she's lost her purpose when moving away from animation and autobiography.
The Pyramid, a (wildly cheating) found footage horror film about the discovery of a submerged pyramid in Egypt and the silly fools who explore of its secrets. This got terrible reviews when it came out. While in no way great, it does the job reasonably well when approached late at night with lowered expectations.
Both films feature evil cats.

New one on me, that. Good story about his Dad turning up to bollock him about it, too.
Yeah that's a good film.

45 minutes of the Danny Dyer turkey The Last Seven - the worst film I've ever seen; only watched it that long 'cos I couldn't believe it was so bad. The worst script, weakest story and by a long chalk the most wooden acting ever to have made it to film. Tamer Hassan was the only actor able to deliver his lines at the right time, he must have been wondering what we was doing there.
Shocking, but not how they meant it to be. Dyer didn't speak in the part I watched and was still shit.

The Baader Meinhoff Complex - was hoping it was going to be something about spies but it was just a bunch of hipsters hanging out and blowing shit up.
21 Jump Street - Jonah Hill and another bloke pretend to be school kids in order to take drugs and party with rich kids.
A Man for All Seasons - Like Wolf Hall but Robert Shaw is Henry and Phil Scofield is Mark Rylance.

big screen and surround sound + seat so my face is mere inches away from the moving pictures. Living the dream. It does. Immortan Joe is now my second favourite comedy baddie after Skeletor

Not as well. When I saw my excellent pirated copy on the telly a few weeks ago I have to admit I was a little disappointed when it came to that few seconds after the rig is attacked by the Russian-speaking tribe/gang who drive the cars that ate Paris, and you see that aerial shot of Immortan Joe's war party in hot pursuit, kicking up dust and accompanied by live rock music courtesy of the blind guitarist and the Taiko-style drummers. In the cinema I was like 'This is great!' I'm a little bit strange like that. Little things blow me away.
