Logan is great too, at least a 1.73/10 
Iāve just watched one of the most āfull onā films I can remember seeing, Antichrist with William Dafoe and Charlotte Gainsborough ā¦ disturbing, harrowing, beautiful, sad, grotesque, powerful, compellingā¦ itās all of those and more.
Is it a good film ? ā¦ itās top notch with some fantastic cinematography and powerful performances youād expect from these two highly respected leads.
Did I enjoy it ? ā¦ phew, I dunno really ā¦ Iām still trying to take it all in !! Itās not fun by any means but Itās a magnificent film, well worth watching (if your not too squeamish) ā¦ I was totally captivated from start to finish.

Compelling is a good word to describe Antichrist @steveintheforest , I found it challenging to watch (itās good to be challenged sometimes)and it haunted me for a good few days after, but looking back Iām glad Iāve seen it. Maybe Iāll watch it again one day, but itās hard for me to think of a mood Iāll be in that Antichrist would fit the bill for my evenings entertainment.

Went to see āFree Fireā yesterday, was a good 90 minutes of throwaway entertainment and Sharlto Copley stole the show for me. Was also a nice surprise to see our own Barry Gale get an unexpected (and all too brief) appearance. Donāt think it will go down as a classic but was good fun.
**SPOILER ALERT** The trailer is essentially the whole film.
I watched the Martin Scorcese film āSilenceā tonight. It was good. Certainly made me think throughout about religion and my beliefs. It has the feel of an old 60ās or 70ās or 80ās classic and reminded me a little of Fitzcarraldo. Itās a huge film, both in length and in weight. The Mrs fell asleep after 20mins.

The Big Short - currently on Netflix. Bit clunky and uneven but an enjoyable enough way to get up to speed with the sub-prime loan debacle/market crash.
Margin Call (also on Netflix) seems an obvious companion piece so might give that a whirl tonight.

Itās right at the top of my list of films to see. Has been for a while but the length of it precludes it from the casual ālets chuck a movie onā catergory. I normally watch a film later on in the evening which isnāt really the time for a two and a half hour, heavywieght epic ā¦ not with work the next day anyway.
Looking forward to it now youāve given it the thumbs up ā¦I think Iāll watch it over Easter when Iāve got a bit of time and Iām less likely to do a āMrs. Fatsā halfway thruā.

I had BOGOF tickets to the cinema tonight but there wasnāt a great deal on so we watched Logan. Itās a fucking long film. Itās quite bloody and violent. Itās ok. A little bit of sort of fun. The Mrs almost fell asleep after about 30 mins, so thatās progress.

The Mrs almost fell asleep after about 30 mins, so thatās progress. So, 28 minutes more than usual 
Lars Von Trierās a twat, sorry a bit reductive then iām drunk. Heās the most shouty and show off from the the Dogme 95 group of Scandi directors. Thomas Vinterberg just kept making quietly brilliant films, āThe Huntā ā¦ Mads Mikklesson.

I really struggle these days to watch films or find one I am interested in. There seems to be a lot of rubbish out there. So yesterday we traweled through amazon/netflix etc. Iād suggested I Daniel Blake but it was deemed (by my partner) to be a bit depressing for out bank holiday viewing. I also suggested Pride. But again not quite up the the lols he obviously wanted.
So we watched The Pianist instead! 
Very harrowing film.
Not exactly a film but thereās no thread for feature length DVDās
Just watched _Monty Python Live (Mostly) - One Down Five To Go _- again !!
Itās the DVD release of one of their farewell shows at the O2. Iām so gutted I never got my shit together to get a ticket, if the DVDās anything to go by it was amazing, a really big production and very funnyā¦ in a nolstalgic kinda way.
Well worth a watch if youāre a fan ā¦ the full showās on YouTube, hereās a couple of clips:
Itās a terrible affliction for anyone. But Terry Jones 
Writer and director of the some of the most original and influential comedy.
Iād heard about that, very sad indeed
