Watched one called Cold In July. Really good thriller that you think is going one way and takes a different direction halfway through.

Watched this yesterday - good call. Really clever change of gears not once but twice over the course of a relatively short film.

Watched a few over the weekend, 'My Name is Joe', a Ken Loach one from the 90's with Peter Madden. Middling, but he Madden put in some shift. Co star was the small fella beside him in Braveheart, 'hame, the English are too many'.

'Farmed'. Ludicrous premise (apparently based on a true story) and everything was poor. Supposed to be set in the early 80's but they couldn't capture the essence of it like This is England and they couldn't recreate the vehemence and violence (or dark humour) of Romper Stomper, two films the director clearly loves. Pish all round.

Just watched Clerks III there. Jesus the first hour is torture, so forced and stiff, even rougher than the original. Picks up for the last half hour but a poor show overall.

And what the fuck is the story with Jason Mewes' teeth?

And what the fuck is the story with Jason Mewes' teeth?

At the height of his opiate addiction he was visiting dentists and having teeth pulled out of his head just to get a prescription for OxyContin/OxyCodone.

Jesus. I know he's clean and sober now and presumably Smith paid for new gnashers but they look ridiculous, even by American identiteeth standards.

And that is why now he has such hilariously ill fitting teeth.

Watched The Banshees of Inisherin there tonight. Definitely good. Think I'm still processing it a bit. Interesting overall mood it creates. I'd it on with the subtitles with herself, think I might go it again without them another time soon.

Thought it was great but the end left me wanting. Gonna go again later in the month cause it's back in the IFI for a week.

Went to see Violent Night with my niece and nephew. Knew nothing about it. Loved every bit of it. Like if Santa was John McClane in Die Hard 1 mixed with Home Alone, Miracle on 34th St, Vikings and directed by Tarantino. Ridiculous.

Watched The Banshees Of Inisherin there. Decent, great performances, looked amazing. The clumsy metaphor for the Civil War took a bit from it though, I thought. Worth a look though.

Looked fantastic and well enjoyed it but that ending didnt do it for me either. The scenery is stunning.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

It was a very 'European' cinema ending. Funnily enough, I didn't even think of the civil war being a metaphor in it, would be interested to know what you mean by that. Home alone tonight though so might roll up and give it another go without the subtitles and with that at the back of my mind.

Spoiler

Two former friends falling out over something hard to define, leading to escalating and irrational acts of violence, with dire consequences for both sides and collateral damage for the greater community. No real resolution but a stalemate and peace of sorts.

[close]

That'd be my take on it anyway.

[open face surgery]

Ya, that's obviously it but I just think it didn't land right.
