One of those endlessly rewatchable films, great fun. Hulce is brilliantly deranged and Abraham's performance speaks for itself.

Watched 'the song of the sea' with the young lad this morning. Absolutely class show, even better than 'the secret of kells'. Any auld lads amongst ye, get it on and enjoy a film with the páistí for a change

Beautuful film. Watched it with himself too.

[Kurt Cocaine]

Both films are beautiful. I absolutely love the artwork. You don't have to be a child to appreciate them either. Perfect viewing on mushies too.

Has anyone seen the lighthouse?
Watched it today and I can't understand the good reviews it's getting. I thought it was pure shit.
Hadn't a clue what the fuck was going on.

I'd like to see it but it's not on anywhere down here.

I went to see A Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood last night. I liked it. I watched a documentary on Fred Rodgers last week, interesting guy. I'm not sure I would have enjoyed the movie as much without that frame of reference because he was such a unique character and it would have come across as a bit far-fetched but, yeah, good stuff and Hanks was the right man for the role.

Saw it yesterday also. I had a vague idea of who Fred Rodgers was from various pop culture references etc. but you're right, I don't think that the film works unless you have some frame of reference. Also "Mr. Rodgers' Neighbourhood" is a distinctly American thing unlike Sesame Street etc.

Tom Hanks is endlessly watchable so this wasn't a chore. Chris Cooper is great too and Matthew Rhys is stellar. His show "The Americans" was one of the bet things on TV over the past decade.

I just watched it, loved it. It's absolutely mental, and just spirals deeper as it progresses. Dodgy accents aside, both leads were excellent.

I'm looking forward to seeing "The Lighthouse" - I thought that "The Witch" was great. Unfortunately, the only cinema in Cork that's screening it has weekday afternoon showings only.

Saw "JoJo Rabbit" last night. I enjoyed it for the most part, it's not the masterpiece that some people have led me to believe though. Some of the accents veer into "'Allo 'Allo" territory too.

The young lad in the lead role and his buddy with the glasses certainly have good careers ahead of them - if nothing else they could star in a "Shaun Of The Dead" reboot.

Just stuck on Tango & Cash... gotta love a bit of 80's action 

[Eoin McLove]

I saw a made for tv looking film on Netflix a couple of years ago about two guys going nuts on a Lighthouse.  It's the new one a remake of that?

[Carnage]

Is that the one with Gerard Butler? Haven't seen it.

Started "Lords Of Chaos" last night. I was at the dentist yesterday evening and when the anesthetic started wearing off I decided "Fuck this" and went to bed.

I've watched about an hour of it - up to where

Varg & Euronymous burn down a chuch together using bibles

.

I'm not a fan of Black Metal and am fairly clueless about that genre - I know the general gist of the history. So far this thing has been grim and dour

Spoiler

(the Varg self harm at a gig and his suicide in particular).

and the gum treatment I got yesterday was more fun.

Is it worth watching it to the end?

Also, I'm sure that most of you don't need the spoiler warnings.

[Emphyrio]

The last scene is grim. That and the suicide scenes were well done. Wasn't arsed with much of the rest

I found myself flinching and having to look away during the suicide scene. I'm not generally squeamish but that got me.
