Ryan Gosling was the show stealer for me. Slick and slimey. Bale was excellent, but Gosling stole every scene he was in.

I just watched World of Tomorrow and it's an incredible, beautiful thing.  Don Hertzfeldt is a genius.

I'd take Spotlight over Room. I'd also take Mad Max over Room.

I can't see The Revenant getting the best picture nod next week. Think it'll be Spotlight. Best director, actor and cinematography will be won by it I think. 

Yup.

Called most of the big ones at the Oscars except the supporting awards, didn't predict either of them.

[DomDom1984]

Thought supporting actress was easy but was absolutely miles off of supporting actor.

Rigged by the Stonecutters innit.

Steve Guttenberg won best supporting actor?

Saw Hail Ceaser the other night, thought it was great. Very rich, lots to get into, will definitely watch it again when it comes out on blu ray.

Star Wars 1080p bluray rip is in "the usual places" folks.

 

happy days!

[ThomThomDrum]

Nice!

Just seen 10 Cloverfield Lane, very enjoyable all the way through, definitely keeps you guessing. Unfortunately it spoils itself a bit at the end by getting too silly.

[CHRLY]

Thought Anomalisa was brilliant. Meaning to see High Rise while it's still around in cinemas.

The first 90 mins of Batman v Superman is fucking awful, it's just really shit and pointless exposition but it does pick up afterwards however you're not likely to care anymore and just waiting for it to finish for the next hour. Shockingly Batfleck is the best thing in it.

Are they just stuck in that room for the whole film ?

The only thing which would spoil the film is if the answer is yes...  In which case the whole film can be avoided

It's a film about being trapped in a bunker. Whether or not anybody leaves the bunk, the premise clearly holds no interest to you.

I finally got round to watching Django Unchained today!! One of those I kept meaning to get round to but didn't. Anyway thought it was rather brilliant, ending could have been a little more compacted (after the house shoot up scene, thought it lost some of the momentum )

I'm surprised it's as high as that, Batman And Robin was better. 

[Spindles]

Holy rusty metal batman!

Batman & Robin is fucking great pal. Can't be doing with serious Batman films, to me the only way you can make a movie about a grown man that dresses up as a bat and beats up fucking penguins and clowns is if you make it OTT camp as shit. The 60s Batman works because they saw that, Batman and Robin works because it's got Arnie making shit puns while Batman and Robin skate around like it aint no thang.

Shit puns doesn't equal 60's Batmam.

No, it's a different take on the high camp, it's nowhere near in the same league as Adam West, but it's still great. It's only let down because the central cast didn't seem to know what sort of film they were making. George Clooney, Chris O'Donnel and Alicia Silverstone all fell flat for the most part, but the villains were some of the best of any Batman film, and away from the Batcave, it had the best sets and backdrop of any on-screen Batman. The two Schumacher films are very flawed, but there's stuff in there that's so good that they're probably the most re-watchable for me. Afflek's Batman is pretty much the first big screen Batman that I have no interest in.

Looking forward to BvS despite the poor reviews. Heard there is some decent bits in it. Sounds like it's average overall though which was my opinion of MoS.

 

Apparently Affleck steals the show as Batman. 

 

Still haven't seen Deadpool either so might do a superhero double bill this week.

So if you only George Clooney made shit puns it would have been a masterpiece.
