Oh yeah, the whole cast do a grand (pun intended) job... but he especially is just fantastic. Every bit as good as all the oscar-bait performances I saw - whilst obviously being totally different.

In Fear (2013)
Had higher expectations for this movie (rating in rotten tomatoes), but nah... grab your car, drive in circle through the woods for 80min and you have the in fear experience. Not scary at all.
5/10

Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues
Didn't like the first 40-45 minutes and got the feeling they probably should not have bothered, then some really funny laugh out load moments that last for a fair while and it's back on track again. Can't make my mind up fully whether this is an average movie or a classic.
Probably a bit too long also.
So rating somewhere between 2 and 8.5!

Black Forest
A film about a group that go on a forest tour but end up in a world that is like a mesh of many fairytales. Awful movie, really bad acting (felt like year 9 drama rehearsals), stupid plot, cheesy effects, bad score and dialogue like:
"Let's get back on the road... oh no the road is gone" and my personal favourite "Where there's a goat, there's a farm"
Then they fight against 7 midgets.
It's so bad that's it's nearly laughably good. Plus has two sweet ass hot actresses 3/10

The scene in the park where they crowbar every shithead celebrity in they possibly can is one of the worst scenes I've ever seen. And I've seen The Room.
Go away. And watch Roadhouse.
If you watch The Room.
It's a deal. I've seen parts of it, but I'll inflict the whole thing on myself if you watch Roadhouse.
It's a double date, with Patrick Swayze and Tommy Wiseau.
Doesn't get better than that, really.
Yes I agree and it's quite a long film too, though have to admit I thought there was a 30 minute spell halfway through the film that was very funny.
The Family Friend - A sleazy Tom Waits look-a-like loan shark goes around being a dick. Sorrentino's got a great ear for a good, apt song (I always have to google songs after having seen one of his films) and an eye for small, beautifully poignant scenes. The lead actress was stunning, it's understandable why the camera wouldn't stay away from her face. Uneven at times but overall a good one.
The intro!

Yeah, another masterpiece by Sorrentino. Incredible performance by Giacomo Rizzo as the creepy Geremia, though I didn't think he looked like Tom Waits at all. I like what you say about Sorrentino's eye for "small, beautifully poignant scenes." Totally spot on. The guy is an incredible artist in so many facets.
Winter's Bone - I think all movies should be set in the American South. 7/10.
Tom Waits-ish, with a touch of Quasimodo.
In the middle of Il Divo there's one scene where Salvatore Riina, the most notorious mafia member at the time works away peacefully in his garden during sunset with this song playing in the background. There was something indescribable genius about it.
Also this scene in The Great Beauty.
Safety Not Guaranteed - What sort of a name is Darius anyway? 6.5/10
Brilliant little film that!
Nilsson is watching Roadhouse!

So Nilsson, did you enjoy that?
It was truly bizarre as well as unfunny.
Some funny bits in the middle but very poor compared to the original and the original was very patchy.
I passed out after 40 minutes, the saga will continue.
I might do The Room tonight. I'm having dinner with Ms. RiP's parents, so there'll be a lot of wine, so once I'm back home it might be a good time to watch it. Didn't sleep that well last night though, so I'm not sure I'll manage to stay awake when I get back in. We shall see, life is full of mystery.
Don't do it RiP. It isn't so bad it's good, it's so bad you'll want to end your life.
Challenge accepted!
You must be thinking of another motion picture named The Room.
I can't think of a better film to watch after a few glasses of wine!
You're a sick puppy, Nilsson.
Tennessee Williams would have been proud to see his torch passed on if he had been alive to see it.
Ffs I can't wait to watch it now!
You'll be begging me for that 99 minutes of your life back.
Do it! Do it! Do it!!
Primer - wat. ?/10
You're in for a treat, it's a piece of art that's horrible misunderstood. Enjoy!
Was disappointed with that. I was waiting and waiting for some kind of real conclusion but it left me a bit bored.
Tyrannosaur - Well now I'm sad. 8/10.
The plot is pretty basic yeah, I just enjoyed the feel of it.
The brooding, menacing John Hawkes!

Road House - Why did Jackie Treehorn go through all this trouble? Why did everyone cheer when he trashed that car place if everyone is supposed to hate him? Hero and villain neighbours? What's this film even about? The threesome aura with Swayze, Lynch and Sam Elliot was really overwhelming for a while, kinda disappointed it didn't happen. It all wasn't as enjoyable sober, as it was just too self-awaringly trashy at times.

I"m so happy you watched it. So happy.
Great film with great performances though.
The nightmarish room of taxidermy terror is the best thing ever.
