Ex Machina.

i'm not sure how many times i could watch this before i find it boring. 4, or whatever the fuck i'm at now, isn't it, though.

every watch throws up some niggle that i hadn't perceived before.
it's superling in it's atmosphere, delivery, cinematography. just. fuken baws.
oh and it was written/directed/had the strong hand of alex garland. the cunt that wrote "the beach" - not the gay ass dickaprio movie: the book. ftw!

I have been watching Norsemen. Now I am hanging out for series 2. Think of Monty Python joins the Vikings....

The Brave One.

It's from 2007 but the style and the pacing feels much earlier, like a contemporary to the Dirty Harry movies. It's deliberately slow, takes its time telling the story, and uses no fancy tricks whatever when the action erupts. The Punisher (but with Jodie Foster) this is not; there's a bit more going on here in terms of being human.

Intelligent, involving, and achieves everything it sets out to do. 9 / 10.

Surprisingly violent - it's R13 but I reckon it's at least R16. Awesome soundtrack. The driving is of course excellent but it's the minor character work and unexpected plot zigzags where this movie really delivers.

Superior friday night popcorn flick. 8 / 10.

pretty fucken meh. soundtrack didn't grab me, like they were trying to cram too much in, and the levels poorly mastered.

how you make a subby b4 drift like a rwd? (slick tyres, but...)

filming was nothing ground breaking, characters all cut and paste, plot clichéd,
acting was good. quite good, from, like, 3 of them, and the rest were filler (sorry kev)

not far above very-average
5.5/10

This has been variously reviewed. Got a rave from someone I follow on social media but the reviewer at the 'The Spectator' slammed it and was then herself rubbished for doing so. On balance I think the Spectator reviewer was just trying to make a name for herself so I will try and catch the movie next week.
