99 Homes. One of these well intentioned, not bad and therefore overpraised films of which I've seen way too many recently. It's a Faustian drama/semi-thriller about the eviction and foreclosure racket in the wake of the financial crisis in the US. Stars Andrew Garfield, Laura Dern and Michael Shannon does his usual villain thing. Unfortunately everything about the plot is utterly predictable once the chess pieces are in place. It reminded my of the recent Nighcrawler which was a similarly overpraised morality tale and also totally predictable. Both are well made, well meaning and well acted but I could barely remember them an hour after I saw them.

Shame Charlotte has fucked her Oscar chances. A superbly observed film, very poignant, with some stiletto sharp dialogue and wistful camerawork, although it is Courtenay and Rampling who really raise it to a wonderful level. They really should have talked before tho, and I am at a bit of a loss as to why they didn't.

Spectre - Bond by numbers, but they have been for years.
A Walk In The Woods - The book is quite funny and if you've spent time hiking or in mountains there's a lot to relate to. None of that made the film. A dreary trudge might have been a more apt title.
Everest - Only half way through but might as well finish it to see what it's been building up to. I wanted another Touching The Void but this is a corny disaster film. I already knew it was scary and frightening up there and allowing loads of groups to go up at once is a really bad idea. Struggling to get anything more from it.

Let me clarify; the volcano lair is just fine. It's when the damn thing errupts at the end it just looks cartoony.
The Octagon
Stop...Hammertime
Edge of Tomorrow (or Live. Die. Repeat. as I think it became known as in the US).
Brilliant high concept action movie, thoroughly enjoyed it.
Pacing was great, action was well shot (in that you could actually see the action) and the leads bounce off each other well too.
It's sometimes easy to forget that Tom Cruise, regardless of how weird his private life may be, is a very good actor and charismatic as fuck, nice to see him doing something a little different in this, where he isn't smooth and heroic from the off.
Solidified my Emily Blunt crush too
Possibly the best action film I've seen in quite a few years.

Israeli found footage horror film called Jeruzalem. Two American tourists get caught up in the biblical apocalypse. Takes a while to get going, but not bad for if you don't mind that sort of thing. It's like [REC] meets Cloverfield with mass possessions and winged demons taking apart Jerusalem, which makes for an interesting backdrop to the Satanic mayhem.

Got a few classic Herzog's to catch up on. Hadn't seen anything before Nosferatu.

Overall score: meh. Probably my fault for expecting too much tbh.
Still, we also finished Aziz Ansari vehicle Master of None which I have been enjoying very much
We saw that last night and I wholeheartedly concur! I can't stop thinking about it and can't remember the last time I watched something so damn satisfying.

I had friends round for a film evening and I've continued proslethising on behalf of What We Do in the Shadows and introduced four more people to what I think was the best film of 2015 and the funniest film in years. We also watched Starlet, one of my favourite most overlooked films of the last few years. It's the previous film by the director of last year's "shot on an iPhone" Tangerine and it feels like an early 70s Hal Ashby movie. In a good way.

Only four episodes to go in the last season of Banshee .I think they are making a fourth . Horses for courses , but imo it's definitely worth a watch , iis pacy , got loads of different sub plots and a good balance between action and story.
