Selma, outstanding film. Especially if you haven't paid much attention to Martin Luther King before. Hard to imagine that the blacks were being treated like that just a few years before I was born. Shocking stuff.

I want a mate like Flashberryjacks, who wears a Barnsley jersey with "Swans are my second team" on the back.

Predestination was pretty good, as was Chronicle. Project Alamanac was dreadul. Elysium was nay bad. Birdman was not my cup of tea.

If you haven't seen "The Lives of Others" you are incomplete as a human being.


I gave this a go. Because you had hyped it everso slightly it didnt reach the dizzying heights expected but it was good film.

That was pretty good. Im so desensitised to horror movies that it takes quite something to scare me these days, but this film did that.

William Friedkin said it is the scariest film he's ever seen. That's pretty high praise.

A lot won't get it though.

As I live in the States the hype over American Sniper goes way over the top, especially on Fox News! I refuse to see the movie with the audience whooping and chanting USA when 'Chris Kyle' blows another human beings head off. Now Selma looks a better film as it shows how bigoted the Deep South was in the 40's, 50 and the 60's when the civil rights movement took off here.

Jake Gyllenhaal was superb in that. Really creepy character and film.
I enjoyed Foxcatcher too. From what i've read Steve Carell played John Du Pont to a tee. They changed the story a little bit for Hollywood but fascinating none the less.

I watched Horrible Bosses 2 the other week after enjoying the first one last year, But i got about 40 minutes in and gave up. W*nk.

Northern Soul.

Only reason i enjoyed it (i think), was because of the parallels between that music scene and that of dance (rave) when that first broke down here. For the Wigan Casino, see Fantazia, for Blackpool Ballroom, see Pulse at the Uni. Not to mention normal club nights at Martha's and Meaning of Life events all over the shop.

Be interested to hear what others thought of the film that weren't involved in the Rave or Northern Soul movements.

Pride. Excellent film.


Agreed - such a good film (and brilliant music as well)!!

Shows that a handful of people can genuinely bring about change. There's quite a strong argument for saying that the actions of the handful of people that raised the money, which led pretty much directly to the block vote of the NUM forcing the adoption of equality for gay people by the Labour party, in turn led to the massive increase in gay rights under the next Labour government, and in turn to marriage equality. It would have happened eventually but they certainly forced the pace.

And anyone that regards gay men as 'girly'' should consider the amount of courage that the group showed (with the one 'L" as well, of course) to walk into the Dulais welfare hall in the middle f the miners' strike and give a speech.

Are you suggesting females don't have courage? you would be labelling me a misogynist by now if id said that. I refer you to the suffragette movement.

grave of the fireflies. I know it's an animation, but the the ending cut me up good and proper. I am not comfortable with the the word disturbed, but it definitely had a profound affect.Maybe a tear or a cry is down to personal experience or empathy.

Have you and TheArtChappy recently been on long haul BA flights? Those titles are currently being shown.

A little while back they were showing Buried, anyone seen it? Difficult to watch in the confines of a plane and on a night flight (even though its nothing to do with flying).
