Films you've seen recently and would recommend WITH reservations

civil war is pretty cool. some good stuff in there. but its all a bit hazy. a film about war photographers but not that much depth on that. a film about a civil war but not much really on the politics. gets intense near the end, but up til then its a bit of a slow/intermittent burn with some truly weird music choices that i am assuming are meant to be irreverent but just come off tone deaf. alex garland can obviously direct, but not sure he can write, or think as well. a bit like a more conceptually ambitious edgar wright.

saw this in the cinema last night and have enjoyed it as well. i have a weak spot for road movies with all its obligatory scenes such as getting gas at the deserted gas station and dealing with all the weirdos. i agree with you that the music was a bit off at times, especially the de la soul track that started right after that very intense and bloody shoot out was a strange choice. it made the film a bit cartoonish.

Escape from San Quention 1957 a prison noir with a good actor in the form of Richard Devon, recognise him from somewhere else, almost gave up on YouTube films though due to ads.

That's one of my fave films too. Oh and he's in Interstellar, the best film of the 21st century.

Wait, hang on! I thought Gone Girl was?

ad blocker sorts this with no downside that i can see.

Ah yeah, I thought it had stopped working so I disabled it a few months back, but it seems to work fine, cheers.
