Madame Bovary
Don doesn't need money and he's never needed a good cover for doing what he wants. It would be out of character (for a number of reasons, he isn't too handy with a parachute and doesn't have the knowledge about aeroplanes Cooper would've had). If Don wants to disappear, he'd just do it. Maybe go to the Bahamas like Jim Hobart. [ /spoiler]
Wrong thread, Cary.
That's what you get for not keeping tabs on your tabs.
Think we know what the spoilered question was about now!
Check out Turkish Delight too. Hauer in a pre-Hollywood Paul Verhoeven film. Think it was voted best Dutch film ever.
In a Lonely Place - Good stuff. One of Bogart's greatest roles, complex and dark.
Ex Machina - lived up to my expectations, very slick, enjoyable sci-fi and the best thing Alex Garland has done. Oscar Isaac is becoming one of my favourite actors, Alicia Vikander is awesome but I'm not totally sold on Domnhall Gleeson.

Trailer Park Boys: Don't Legalize It
One of the funniest comedies I've seen in a while. The dialogue and delivery of said dialogue is absolute gold.
8/10

Fat City - Gritty, downbeat and modest boxing character drama. More Bukowski-esque than most Bukowski films. Good stuff.
Yeah I love that movie. One of my favourite sports movies.
Gone Girl
What was the hype all about? I've seen porn flicks with better storylines. Heck, even Wild Things had a better storyline! And a threesome to boot.

The New Girlfriend 7/10
Amusing, intelligent movie from Ozon (who is good half the time and abysmal the rest of it). Loosely based on a Ruth Rendell (who the French appreciate much more than the English see Chabrol's La Cérémonie) short story. Not a great film but well made and well acted (Anais Demoustier superb)

A true classic.
Kingsman: The Secret Service
Very enjoyable, not what I was expecting at all.

Agree. Very enjoyable movie!
Rewatched Blue is the warmest colour...still a 10/10 film.
Also adele exarchopoulos is a fantastic actress and also very hot!

That end is just depressing but still realistic.
Good film
Good filmGone Girl: As I finished reading the book just over a week ago, I kinda knew what would happen anyway. But, that didn't stop me from enjoying it. Great movie, and great performances from Affleck, and Pike. Fincher adapted the novel really well (he has a track record of doing that). Supporting cast did great too. I'd rate this 8 out of 10 cats.

As great as it is, I also find it quite exhausting for its realism.
Great location by the way.
Little Boy Maybe I'm not spiritual enough to appreciate this supposedly uplifting movie. Good intentions, well enough made, doesn't enthrall. 4/10
Yep. Watched it this morning. It's hugely enjoyably. Much better than the Avengers movie, I thought.
I also watched Run All Night, the latest Liam Neeson retirement fund movie. It's an entirely formulaic succession of played-out tropes and yet it's still very well done.
Yep, thought Run All Night was a pretty mediocre affair.
Did you not even appreciate Rosamund Pike's performance?
Would love Eggsy to be the new Spiderman. Would be perfect for that role. I liked Garfield as well though, just a pity the 2nd one was such a disappointment.

I also thought it was very overrated. Stopped watching halfway though so maybe it got better.
Wild Things is exactly the kind of film it should've been compared to. It took itself far too seriously for the pulp nonsense it was. Wild Things, to its credit, didn't.
Not a very difficult role, in all fairness. Ice queens and psychopaths are notoriously easy characters to play. Her heavy, laboured dialogue delivery in the first half put me off.
@Rooney in Dublin doesn't think so, but he loves Sunshine and Forrest Gump, so what does he know, right?Lea is also
Ffs Nilssy I thought we were buds!
Housebound was very enjoyable.
It Follows - an excellently made horror film with a great premise, makes great use of 70s horror techniques. Probably my favourite horror film in recent memory, better than the Babadook and The Conjuring. My only quibble :
Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck - very interesting and inventively made documentary about Kurt Cobain. Uses animation to bring his mountains of tapes and diaries to life and give a well rounded portrait of a brilliant but difficult character. I enjoyed it and I'm not Nirvana's biggest fan.
their plan to beat It at the old swimming pool is totally nonsensical and predictably doesn't work. Although maybe that was the point. Also the form the It kept taking was very vague.

Gangnam 1970 (aka Gangnam Blues)
Korean period gangster flick, it never sets me in motion, Lee min ho is a great eyecandy, but his counterpart is just plain ignoreable. 1.5 hours on I still can't remember his face, and only knows that it's him by the context. There's not enough character built up, lots of loose plot. The fight scene are meh, but for a gangster movie fan, watchable
6/10

I loved it. I remember the moment when it appears from the shadows when they're hiding in the room in his big menacing form scared the living shit out of me!
Is It Follows out/ downloadable somewhere on the internet now?
Only just seen this post. I totally agree, The fight scene at the end left me so disappointed. Ruined the film a little bit for me.
I might take some flack for this but the final fight scene in Man of Steel was so much better IMO.
Urga - Nikita Mikhalkov (1991)
A film about a Mongol family and their inner workings that is disrupted by the arrival of a goofy Russian truck driver. The movie tends toward a sort of docudrama of the Mongol family in their yurt and daily life to a more surrealistic feel to the ending. Fantastic film using natural actors with a couple of professional ones that explores modernization and Mongolia´s relationship with Russia and China. Great bit of subtitle translation at one point with one of the main characters being called an "asshole philosopher." Thoroughly enjoyed this movie on many levels. Reminded me a bit of Kurosawa.
