Re: Beerfuelled Movie Appreciation Thread
Anyone seen Wind River?
Absorbing thriller with Jeremy Renner
The one let down was the sound quality - some dialogue was quite muffled but even so it's a quality who-done-it
8/10

Just watched Wind River, decent thanks 8/10
Dialogue was muffled I agree
Dunkirk, disappointing 6/10
No real sense of scale or the threat the beach was under, plus a few daft bits with Tom Hardy, shame.
A United Kingdom, watchable with the mrs 7/10
The Snowman 4/10
Ok, but a weak ending ruined it

I've said this before but if you liked City of God you should check out Tsotsi - "Six days in the violent life of a young Johannesburg gang leader". Extremely moving; gets a 9/10 from me

Re: Beerfuelled Movie Appreciation Thread
Now I have seen almost all the top films of 2017, apart from Phantom Thread, which I hope to see tomorrow, and Darkest Hour, here are my favourites. Top five - The Florida Project, Faces Places (French), The Shape of Water, A Fantastic Woman (Chilean) and Call Me By Your Name. Next five - Ladybird, Dunkirk, Three Billboards in Ebbing, Missouri, Get Out, and Foxtrot (Israeli). Honourable mention - Loveless (Russian), War for the Planet of the Apes, The Other Side of Hope (Finnish).

Re: Beerfuelled Movie Appreciation Thread
The film review on R5 (which I know you probably don’t listen to Pouzar) were absolutely raving about the Phantom Thread yesterday.
Sounds like a great film and DDL sounds his usual imperious self.

Re: Beerfuelled Movie Appreciation Thread
Darkest Hour well made, good performance from Oldman (useful background for an ignoramous like me.... with the Braveheart caveat to getting your history lessons via Hollywood). Just wasn’t ‘that’ captivating though. 7/10
The Post another ‘well made, good acting’ bore fest. 7/10

Re: Beerfuelled Movie Appreciation Thread
To clarify, I am really looking forward to Phantom Thread, which certainly sounds like one of the best films of 2017, but it has only recently reached Edmonton, where we are deep in the depths of an horric cold snap plus massive amounts of snow that disocourages travel of all kinds. Darkest Hour sounds like it's worth seeing, if only for Oldman's performance, but it still hasn't played here.

You could holiday in Reykjavik. It's 10 degrees C warmer there than Edmonton at the moment.

I saw Darkest Hour today and quite liked it. Of course it takes real liberties with history, but that doesn't bother me. A good, not great film.

Biutiful 8/10
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1164999/
Bleak, superlative acting, bleak, brilliantly shot, bleak, subtitled, bleak, gritty, bleak, directed by the guy who did Birdman+Revenant+Babel (which is what drew me to it), bleak.
Quality filmmaking, but quite bleak
Trainspotting 2, 7/10
Quite enjoyed this, possibly as I had low expectations.

Looking forward to seeing Lady Bird, having been in love with Saoirse Ronan ever since the wonderful Brooklyn. I have a feeling that by the end of this year's Oscars every film fan will at least be able to pronounce her name properly

Something like that!
When Ryan Gosling presented her at some awards ceremony he got the Saoirse bit right, but called her Rohan not Ronan

The Hateful 8 - 9/10
The usual Tarantino blend of sharp dialogue and OTT gore.
Long at 3 hours, but thoroughly enjoyed it.
I think Ms Jacksosi would have hated it , so glad I watched it solo.

Re: Beerfuelled Movie Appreciation Thread
Thought Wind river was excellent. Didn't really notice the muffled dialogue to be honest, although was listening on headphones so that probably helped.
Three Billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri was even better though. Frances McDormand was fantastic and the priest scene destined to become a classic.

Re: Beerfuelled Movie Appreciation Thread
Watched The foreigner and Deadpool last night and enjoyed both.
That may have been influenced by ( broken molar) pain killers and alcohol but enjoyable never the less.
The foreigner - Jackie Chan and Pierce Brosnan both played good parts, the plot was a bit thin and tenuous but still held my attention.
Deadpool had great timing and was unexpectedly fun to watch
9/10 for both from me and surprisingly 10/10 from Mrs ONZ for Deadpool, She laughed a lot

The Greatest Showman was a decent enough family film, I'm just not a musical sort of guy 7/10.

Re: Beerfuelled Movie Appreciation Thread
Have seen Paddington 2 and Shape of Water this week. I'd be interested to see the Venn intersection of people who've done the same. Also means I've twice seen Sally Hawkins underwater with a creature from South America.
Anyway, they're both excellent films in their own right.

Re: Beerfuelled Movie Appreciation Thread
Shape of Water seems to be getting loads of praise from critics (dominating award nominations too).... the premise puts me off.
I’m not good with sci-fi.... is it better/more than a love story with an alien?

Re: Beerfuelled Movie Appreciation Thread
I hate almost all sci-fi and fantasy* and despite the premise, it never occurred to me to think of it in those genres. I'll let Kermode do the comparisons work for me:
