"Judas & The Black Messiah" - 4/5

Enjoyed this a lot. Interesting story. I had trouble understanding Daniel Kaluuya's  American accent at points in the film though - when he is giving his speeches for example - considering he is supposed to be an orator.

I am mystified as to how both Kaluuya (protagonist) and Lakeith Stanfield (antagonist) can both be nominated for Best Supporting Actor - surely one of them is the main actor in this?

Yep, I haven't seen it since it came out. I've been meaning to watch it with my good Spanish lady to show her the 'real' Dublin. 

It's the one Irish film I purposely put on the long finger to show herself too. Not only because of the way it portrays Dublin, but also because you just don't know how a non-Irish person is going to react to you laughing at some of the genuinely hilarious parts, some of which are mixed right in with the grimness. It's definitely up in the top five of all Irish cinema for me.

Here's a great interview extract of (excellent) actor Michael Smiley talking about it:

Michael Smiley is brilliant. He is excellent in Wheatley's films, especially A Field in England and underrated in his first film Down Terrace.

He's great but he'll always be Tyres from Spaced for me. Decent in Luther, too.

The Golden Globe / Der Goldene Handschuh

Grim. Like watching Autopsy's 'Acts of The Unspeakable' album in cinematic form. Good film though, it's somewhat in the vein of Henry: Portrait of A Serial Killer, or Angst.

That was a nasty film. Really bleak and everyone is so rotten in it.

Wolf Creek 2 last night. Piss poor in almost every way it could be poor

[Emphyrio]

Only watched the first one last week. Well, I watched it years ago but I was drinking and it turns out I remembered fuckall. The second one not worth a go so?

[astfgyl]

I really enjoyed the first one but the second one is like a parody of it. Same actor playing the bould lad but the rest is preposterous.

[Emphyrio]

There's a TV series too. Think Mick is in it again. They do milk the fuck out of horror stories/characters.

[astfgyl]

I'll give the series a miss if WC2 is anything to go by

Wolf Creek 2 last night. Piss poor in almost every way it could be poor

Funny, I only added that to my Netflix list last night because I can't remember if I've seen it. I thought the first one was a good watch.

The first one was a decent flick but this lacks all the suspense and underlying horror of the first and instead focuses on making some sort of cartoon hero out of the lad. It's like what the last Predator film is to the first one in terms of mood

[Thorn]

 Well ,I'll get back to you on that, lowered expectations might work in its favour now

[CorkonianHunger]

Rewatched Pusher 2 with my mate as he hadn't seen it. Great stuff.

Put on Jackie Chan's Police Story form 1985, brilliant show, one of the funniest slap stick films I've ever seen too.
