Something about concrete? Haven't seen it but I know the one you're talking about.

Would you believe I only saw There Will Be Blood for the first time this week. Turns out, it's good.

Brilliant. One of my favourite films. And one of my last real cinema experiences - saw it on a quiet St. Partick's Day/Good Friday - empty-ish screening - everyone just watching in awe.




Rewatched "Speed" for the first time in about 20 years - (mad/bewildering to think that it's nearly 30 years old).

It's still really enjoyable. A proper action film - great stunts, perfectly paced, bit of humour. Solid entertainment.

Rewatched The Town over the weekend. Really good film. I always found Blake Lively to be too nice or something but tarted up in this, she's unreal.

Film thread lads...

Fair.

Watched a British film the other night on film 4 where some chaps do a bit of work on a house but the owner won't pay them and it goes steadily downhill from there but for the life of me I can't remember the name of it.

Any ideas? There was a fairly harrowing burying scene in it.

Concrete Plans I think. Was watching it a while back but fell asleep after about 20 minutes (not the films fault). Need to go back and give it a look because it seemed decent

Yeah that's it - Concrete Plans. Nice one, that could have went on forever it wouldn't be the first time that's happened. Anyway, it wasn't bad for what it was as long as no-one is expecting too much.

Not a film, but related. Was in Malta last week and made the pilgrimage to the pub Olliver Reed died in. Died after 8 lagers, 12 double rums and 18 double whiskeys, arm wrestling sailors.

On topic, he's great in The Brood, which I watched before going.

Reed is great in that one. Nothing beats his performance in The Devils though. Absolute legend.

On the Cronenberg topic, I watched Rabid a few weeks ago and found it boring enough. Probably the least enjoyable of his films. You can see the ideas starting to form, but its missing something.

Looking forward to seeing Crimes of The Future as his last few collaborations with Viggo Mortensen have been quality.

[Carnage]

I made the mistake of watching the Rabid remake a while back. Poor.

Watched The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent. Enjoyed it. Nicholas Cage as Nic Cage.

Simon ( Explosive Action) is some boy, mad collection of stuff

Ah, The Brood is quality, really good movie. I didn't know he died in Malta. Do I detect some exaggeration surrounding his death ha ha

Could be, but seemed to be fairly accurate, or at least unsurprising. He's also great in the above mentioned Devils and Revolver.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

The Devils is superb.

Watched Titane last night. Really didn't think it was up to much at all. Reminded me slightly of Seul Contre Tous, but not good.

[open face surgery]

Started The Devils a year or two ago but didn't finish it for some reason, may have fallen asleep, so need to watch it again.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Took revenge on last night's indy arthouse disappointment by watching Airheads tonight. Very much an "also ran" next to, say, Wayne's World, but I enjoyed it. Best part of 25 years since I would have seen it last!
