Early Ben Wheatley film about a criminal family, and how paranoia and their own dysfunction destroys them. Great performances, and some really stylish direction.

Dinosaur 13 - 9/10

I love dinosaurs and archaeology so I was always going to enjoy this, but even if I didnt it's an incredible documentary. It's the story of the discovery of the most complete T-Rex ever, and the controversy surrounding it which is so baffling it beggars belief. To be honest, if I hadn't lived in the USA and know how daft it can be (first hand, I got ticketed for a lot of strange things) I probably wouldn't have believed it.

The Missionary - an amiable bit of nonsense starring Michael Palin, with top-notch support from the likes of Maggie Smith, Trevor Howard, Denholm Elliot, and Michael Hordern as a sublimely incompetent butler.

Decided on a Coen''s Brothers movie last night

Blood Simple, 1984 ?

One of Coens first productions

7 out of 10

Anyone whos a Coens fan should see this, starts of slow though winds up into real drama.

An easy watch

Probably their most overlooked film. It really is a belter and one of my favourites by them.

2010: The Year We Made Contact. A sequel to 2001 A Space Odyssey, made in 1984 from an Arthur C Clarke script, and a film I had never heard of. HAL comes back to life ... that voice! 'Hello ... Dave ...' (Yes, Dave's in it too.) Weirdly clunky futuristic technology, unsurprising I suppose given that it's over 30 years old, but an interesting curiosity I thought. The ending was a bit of a let-down, but then the monolith makes a last-frame appearance ...
I think it's a cracking film... and it ends far better than 2001 did :whistle:
