I really want to see M. I like Lang. I'd recommend Siegfried if you haven't seen it yet. I liked Siegfried more than Metropolis.

You have me excited for Hateful Eight and Revenant Mark. A 3.5 from you is like a 4.5 from me. I am waiting for the big screen though as tempting as it is to not.

The Revenant



Alejandro Ińárritu impresses again with his attention to detail and beautiful style, but the movie starts running out of steam in the second half. Similar to his last film Birdman, the camera-work is excellent, the soundtrack, the acting, all the elements surrounding the story are done in such a spectacular way, but the story itself is just uninspired.

But how did you 'obtain' it?
Screeners most likely.

I don't get how people can sit and watch crap quality like that - especially for a film meant as an "experience" in true 70mm film. But that's just me...



How greay would you rate Rush from 2013 an amazing film of rivalry btw two great f1 drivers. A really great adaptation of real life incidents. Loved every bit of this film.



Miss Vicky's Loyal and Willing Slave

Carol (Todd Haynes, 2015)
(rewatch)
Just out of curiousity Mark how did Carol manage to pick up an extra 0.5 in the space of just one day?

Oh and I'm glad to see you rather enjoyed Brooklyn. I also just watched it. It's quite a simple little film and not normally the type of film I get all that excited about but I found it be rather lovely. A great performance by Saoirse Ronan and I thought that visually it was just gorgeous. Just a shame that it stumbled a little in the third act I felt.
