Watched 'Locked' last night, new thriller sort of film with Bill Skarsgard and Anthony Hopkins, nothing epic but pretty good, Hopkins still plays a great nutter.

Sinners was unbelievable. I knew nothing about it going in other than the name. Which I'd advise anyone going to see it know as little as possible going in. The perfect cinema experience.

On the other hand, Warfare and Queer were 2 of the worst films I've had the misfortune of seeing in the cinema in a long time.

[Bürggermeister]

Jeremy Irons as Chamberlain was value for money, but the guy playing Hitler was terribly miscast.

He was the guy who played Goebbels (perfectly, it must be said) in Downfall. Ridiculous decision to cast him in a different role considering how iconic Downfall is for that genre.

[Carnage]

I didn't realise that. I must watch Downfall again, I haven't seen it since it came out. Fantastic film, Ganz was excellent.

Queer was pretty terrible, Craig desperately trying for awards to avoid the Bond curse.

I've heard mixed things about Warfare but I do want to check it out.

Watched Munich: The Edge Of War over the weekend, having just read the (vastly superior) book. It seemed like an ITV/BBC drama, all rushed and melodramatic. Visually dull as well, a grey/beige palette throughout. Skipped over a lot of the book, inevitably, but got the job done I suppose. Jeremy Irons as Chamberlain was value for money, but the guy playing Hitler was terribly miscast. It was OK overall, but read the book instead.

Big Robert Harris fan ("An Officer and a Spy" is a goodun if you havent read it!), and was very disappointed with the film adaptation. Just didn't feel the tension or urgency in it at all. Great book., though!

[Carnage]

An Officer... is on the shelf alright,I got Precipice in the post the other day too. I've read quite a lot of his and all bar The Fear Index have been top notch.

[ldj]

Sinners was a good bit of craic.

The Business

Good oul craic. Came out of that glut of hooligan/geezer films from the mid 2000s. Danny Dyer in British chav Scarface.

[Abandon All Hope]

Frivolous Lola

Thriller a Cruel Picture

Death of a Unicorn (Shit Film)

I missed Sinners the other week by half an hour. Maybe I'll try to rectify that.

And watch the end credits!

Watched Police Academy 1-4 over the last two nights. They're still great craic.

Whatever happened to Steve Guttenberg. Seemed to fall off the planet after the early 90s.

[Eoin McLove]

Sinners was grand. My main issue is that I can't stay awake in the cinema any more making it hard to get into a film. But it was alright. The Rocky Road to Dublin bit was really cool.

[Mooncat]

Weird Science and Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Great craic the both of them.
