I just fired on Old Dads. Bit of craic. I don't know if it's a good thing or not, but I was 100% on Bill Burr's character's side throughout and wanted to punch more or less everyone else in the film  :laugh:

Had the exact same feeling!

The War of the Rohirrim - Strange choice of art style but even worse was how cheap it looked. A pity, as the story and voice acting were quite good. Would have been great if it was live action.

A proper for all ages one, in that it can really be appreciated by anyone of any age. Don't know how much of a wide release it's getting, but if you get a chance I'd recommend it highly.

This ended up winning the Golden Globe for best animated film, just in case ye weren't inclined to believe little old me  :laugh:

Mental film, probably in a very different way to The Ninth Gate though (which I haven't ever seen having heard it wasn't great, added to list there now though).
I really like The Ninth Gate, nice bit of tension in it. I watched The Zone Of Interest the other night. It's pace is slow, but very good and well shot. The director has a very consistent run of movies now. I've not seen one his called Birth. Gonna have to rectify that.

Birth is a good watch, prob the most "standard" of his four feature movies, but the four together really are extremely impressive as one man's output.

class, I'll give it a watch this week. Thinking of delving into Von Trier having only watched a handful of his movies. Any fans?
