What film did you watch last night?

[Adam4868]

Memories of Murder - first movie of Bong Joon, most recent oscar winner, and also his best. Based on real murders the story follows incompetent police department as it tries to solve brutal rapes and murders in hinterland of South Korea. Set during the upheaval of dictatorship is just as good a police procedure flick as social commentatory - a trait most of the movies of the director share. It is also one of the funniest movies I have ever seen - even if the humor is very black.

A Town Called Hell

Saw this amongst the movie listings on Prime and thought I'd give it a go. After all, a western starring Telly Savalas, Robert Shaw (and Tinker from Lovejoy) - what could go wrong?

Well quite a lot it would seem. The quality was awful, like watching a much rented videotape from the 80s and it was cropped into 4:3 format meaning anything happening at either side of the shot was missing.
Quite possibly the worst film I've seen in a long time.
I gave up after 15 minutes.

1/10

Nickleson you liked ! Sarcasm surely
Whalberg is a great actor,he's got better as he goes on.I used to think the same of DiCaprio I think it was his boyish looks,but he's grown on me.Done some great roles and become one of my favourites.

I watched that 'The Favourite' with Olivia Colman. Nice of her to come round, wasn't it - but I had to chase her reminding her we are in a time of social exclusion and all that. Still, while it was on, I watched her in that. Lots to learn from this, which I'm always glad for. A thoroughly good film with excellent camera work really getting into the gloom of the stately homes of the times.

Any Given Sunday - 9/10

One of my favourite sports films that isn't really about sports at all. Incredible cast and performances, fantastic cinematography and an excellent soundtrack. Highly recommended.

There can't be many films that are one part Japanese man stuck in a room with hundreds of cherubs' penises sticking out of the walls and one part Mexican tag wrestling. Perhaps they should make more. Until then there is the top-rate absurdity that is Symbol.

Princes of the Yen - how central banks create bubbles, why dollar is the US most devastating weapon and how what happened in 90's in Japan is happening 20 years later in the rest of the West
5/5

You know the problem with The Departed? Too much talk from Mark, Jack, Matt and Leonardo. Just not convincing enough, unlike Goodfellas, Raging Bull and The Irishman.

The Damned United, on Iplayer. An excellent performance by Michael Sheen as Brian Clough.
